Has Jordan De Goey announced himself?

[PieLebo87]

He played his best game of AFL footy this afternoon primarily as a midfielder and finished up with 32 possessions at 84% DE, 9 score involvements, 2 goal assists and 7 clearances.

Has averaged 20 possessions and 1 goal a game so far in 2017.

20 years of age, and coming up to his 50th game of AFL footy, what sort of ceiling do you see with the 5th overall pick of the 2014 draft?

Good to see he's back playing good football after that freak dog-toy injury.

I'd put my house on him not being tagged next week...Essendon doesn't believe in tagging...

He was great. Crazy to have him off towards the end though

 

[Steven Toast]

Going to be a very good footballer. Like him a lot.

 

[PAFCsince1870]

Was great when he went into the middle against us last week. Couldn't figure out why he was playing forward up until then.

But then I remembered who Collingwood's coach was.

 

[Scotland]

Playing great footy.

Collingwood have a high number of players who appear to be playing well for a team that isn't very good.

 

[outabounds]

Another "gun" midfielder- just what Collingwood need.

 

[SSSSSS]

Ran out of gas in the last quarter when the game was to be won. Only the four touches. His first three quarters showed glimpses of being an elite player. Powerful and can actually kick the ball (unlike some of his higher profile teammates).

*21 years of age

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

Best player from his draft.

I wasn't the biggest fan of selecting De Goey where we did (thought this was the pick we should use on Darcy Moore, and use the next one on Nakia Cockatoo), and have felt like he's looked a bit iffy at times over the last couple of years, but he looks like a star when he plays in the middle lately. Still has work to do on his fitness (does tend to float in and out of games because of this), but at times, he looks and plays a lot like a young Nathan Buckley - balanced, composed, strong, direct, skillful, able to win the contested ball cleanly and break clear and dispose neatly.

For perspective on that comparison, at the same age (by mid-October 1993), Buckley had just completed his first AFL season, and was on his way to Collingwood. He had a lot of learning and growth left at that stage, and so does De Goey now too.

A star in the making I reckon.

De Goey has all the tools to become a massive FIGJAM like bucks too

 

[Beer n Skittles]

21yo has decent game. Pies board

Well, they can't all be Lazarus Jones, coming to life on the brink of delisting in their mid-20s.

 

[John Wayne II]

Haven't watched a shed load of Collingwood but Smith has impressed me a lot this year.

 

[Goats]

"My name is Jordan and this is my dog."

 

[Hawk_francais]

He's announced himself, and Bucks has confirmed he's telling the truth.

 

[Orange Agent]

Yep in a select group of 50 others of similar age doing the same thing. I look fwd to more of these threads.

 

[Nostradumbass]

heh

 

[Benno_900]

Such a shame he had that frisbee accident.

 

[HairyO]

I honestly only noticed him a few times. But there were a lot of passengers in that game.

Treloar being the worst of them.

 

[Pie in the Sky]

Just needs to stay in the middle and he'll be a very good player. Possibly still needs to work on his tank, faded a bit in the last quarter and unfortunately none of the senior players stepped up at all.

 

[AndyLucimitis]

Good to see he's back playing good football after that freak dog-toy injury.

Like Alex Johnson from the Swans, I won't be impressed until he has comeback from 12 freak dog-toy injuries.

 

[Seeds]

Who? Sorry Collingwood are so irrelevant now that I haven't watched them play in ages.
