News Helbig could be back soon

[tunksy]

clubs medical report vid is up and there is mention of helbig.

could be back training with the main group in a weeks time!!

hopefully he can get a game or 2 in before seasons end.

or would you prefer him to just play out the year in the 2's?

Again I am not bagging the player, but from what I have seen over the stretch with Hellbig, apart from going in hard, the rest has been pretty average at best. I really dont understand all the hoo haaa, but will sit on the fence and watch what unfolds with this dude.

im a little bit with you cogga just about his kicking. hopefully we can put it down to confidence and first game jitters.

 

[Kamikaze]

Good to hear that he is progressing well. It means more depth in the team.

Rate Helbig enormously, as does Hardwick. Hopefully he finishes out the last 5 or so games on a HFF/wing in the seniors.

I agree, I do see something in him

Hornsby says in the vid they hope he'll play (Coburg) next week

 

[Punt_Road_Roar]

Never seen the guy play but everyone said Morris couldnt kick either when we drafted him.

 

[CHIMP MAGNET]

if you'd seen him as a jnr you'd know he can kick. hasnt yet produced the skills he is capable of consistently at afl level.

 

[Foleys Footy]

Wouldn't want him in the one's with our best side but would prefer him to the likes of Matt White if we need to cover players, so to have him back is a positive nonetheless

 

[JAKLAUGHING]

I for one am looking forward to seeing what this kid has to offer......

Although Helbig is coming back from a pretty serious injury, lets hope he gets some real quality game time. If it means playing in the firsts, so be it. He brings good run, hardness at the ball, kicks it well & decision making appears to be quick & natural. Would like to see him play across the midfield, seems to be an old fashion winger.

 

[DerpWerls]

If he goes alright as the sub he might be a chance, otherwise not sure how his game fitness will be and tough for a 2nd year player to make much of an impact.

Elite kick of the football. Would have been in the team by now if it wasn't for his leg.

Move over Cogga...I'm on the same fence...hoping he goes up a level or two but no real evidence of that yet I agree

 

[Bojangles17]

Ive always been a bit iffy on helbig, questionable in heat of the kitchen, showed a bit more off the hbf.....still has the job ahead...he'll get a chance

 

[WATIGE]

Do I remember something about Helbig being the one earmarked as pushing Dan Jackson out of the team. I think that is fairly reasonable wraps.

Looking forward to Brad working his way back into the team.

Seems to be very nervous when he gets it, against Port last year he found the ball alot but gave it to the other team as soon as he got it.

I'm hoping he makes it so when he kicks a goal from 50 commentators can say that it was 'hell big'

I think the whole team was guilty of that last year against Port, if memory serves me correct though he was one of only a handful of blokes who were at least trying in that game.

 

["The Roar Is Back"]

He is an elite kick who has not yet adapted to the speed of AFL footy and therefore his kicking is inconsistant . Don't mind TBH .

Its his ball handling in the heat of the kitchen that needs work , was tamblingesque in pivotal moments, if he can overcome that he could make some real progress....if i recall he showed a bit off the hbf with some strong marks and looked to run in straight ines

Wow really

Fair call, no doubt he struggled with the pace of the game last year and occasionally looked like a deer in the headlights, and you've got to wonder if he came in a little early - there's very few players who don't need a good VFL apprenticeship before they play. But he's not on his pat malone as a player who looked out of his depth in his first year, and when you've got the attributes and the attitude that he has, you deserve to get another chance to show your wares.

So do i going to be a great player for the club .

 

[maceman]

Did I hear somewhere that Essendon groaned inwardly when we called out his name? With their sneaky and underhanded methods of drafting players that makes my ears prick up. Hope Brad shows the goods.
