Ian Perrie???

[GoCROWS!]

I put forward the case that Perrie should be dropped after last weeks performance.

First of all to be fair out of his 5 shots with a VERY strong wind he hit two posters. 1 of them however was an absolute gimme, then he missed a very gettable goal and also kicked one.

1 goals 4 points.

Perrie is one of those players who lacks consistency and whilst is reasonably good in a marking contest so often the ball just slips through his fingers in a very markable delivery. Ok so you might be saying well if he had kicked all 5 goals you would be saying he was a hero it was just unlucky with two posters and a very strong wind.

Perrie IMO chokes under pressure, as seen on his first shot on goal. He thinks himself out of kicking the goal, he is far too unrealiable to hold a spot up forward. We need a consistent marker, who can consistently contribute, ESPECIALLY, when it counts most. For me this is not Perrie.

Perrie Out

Burton IN

Ok so they are not a direct swap but playing Burton up forward could be devastating and plus you could rotate him through midfield and into the forward line with someone like bode. Burton provides everything Perrie does and more and based on performances Perrie is the least deserving out of our line up IMO.

Hmmm, let me be first to say "I'm sitting on the fence!"

Its very easy to do with Perrie he can be good but he can be a Hack. It's finals time everyone has to earn their place more than ever, has he really done enough to hold it? No

Crikey! Poor old Pez. I thought he played well at the weekend. Gave a contest every time the ball came his way. You're not a WCE troll by any chance?

 

[Cap]

nope

Perrie was the reason we didn't win by 60 points+. Do we need a forward making contests or kicking goals. Perrie missed 4 very gettable goals at CRITICAL points in the game.

Perrie's set-shots last weekend were on about a par with the rest of the side. I like him because he always gives a contest. A real team player.

Jesus, this is the kind of material that belongs in the Collingwood cheer squad while losing an elimination final.

There is no way Perrie is going to be dropped. The first step to kicking goals is having a shot and I think if the Pez is half way there before the two biggest games of the year then so be it!

 

[Wilburwild]

Perrie wasnt the only player to miss easy goals last week, and he kickedthe sealer last week also. remember that play, its a highlight, Porps Perfect play i like to call it!! then porps passes to pez and pez puts it through! strong hands on Perrie, and a good target to have in the side. i say keep him in!!

 

[arrowman]

That would be five shots IN a very strong wind, not WITH a very strong wind.

As others have said, he wasn't the only offender. The fact that he had 5 scoring shots and made a 100% effort and contribution is enough to keep him in the side.

Would anyone be asking this question if he had kicked 4.1?

I don't believe you drop a player who had 5 scoring shots just because he had a bad day (especially in those conditions) - unless there's something identifiable about what happened other than "bad day".

Incorrect.

Rhett Biglands(2). 1
Jason Torney(2). 1
Nathan Bock(2). 0
Brent Reilly(1). 1
Matthew Clarke(1). 0
Ian Perrie(1). 4
Scott Welsh(1). 1
Jason Porp's (0). 1
Doughty (0). 1
Bode (0).1

As you can see he is the only one with outstandingly poor kicking. Too add to that he is a forward and most if not all his shots were set shots. Yes other players did miss some easy shots but I really thought that his effort in kicking will need to improve under pressure.

 

[dA Crow]

I thought Perrie played well last week. Missed a couple that he should have got, and a couple got dragged by the somewhat "Flukey" wind. He did what we expect and want from Sarge, he gave a contest; he also blocked well for other players up forward as well at times during the game as well. Sure he can be frustrating at times, but dropping him... I dont think so.

 

[swanfan]

You heard it hear first on Bigfooty....oops wrong thread.

 

[RoosterLad]

Perrie will not be dropped. Trust me folks.

 

[Crows_Chick]

If you wanted to make a case for dropping someone based on inaccurate kicking/poor disposal from last weeks game Scott Thompson would be at the top of the list and isn't that a ludicrous thought.... same goes for Perrie !! At least he's getting the ball and creating the opportunity, bit harsh to be too critical of bad kicking in conditions like last weekend...

 

[RoosterLad]

Totally agree Chicky. Thommo's disposal has been terrible most games, last week he got a lot of the pill but wasted it. He will never be dropped either. They are both important players in our structure.

 

[Alex99]

Perrie will not be dropped. Trust me folks.

Never trust anyone that says ‘trust me’ but he will not be dropped.

 

[RoosterLad]

Depends.

If RoosterLad says "trust me" then you are safe, everything will be totally sweet.

 

[Damp Squarie]

He wont be dropped.
He does however, need a system.

He should go back through the tapes where he was kicking accurate (yeah it could take awhile to discover it ) with a bio-mechanics expert and agree on some principles that gave him the accuracy and then write an acronym on the back of his hand to review as he lines up!!..anything

It might be...

Asses the conditions (Footing, rain, wind, ball, mark)
Visualise the ball sailing through the middle
Run straight at the target
Kick through the ball with confidence

I think it was his first shot on goal he took about 5 steps...how do you get run up rythem doin' that

 

[RogerRabbit69]

Asses????? No need to get so personal about poor ol' Pezz, topjars.

Agreed. Just a ridiculous thread really......

Farmer missed a pretty easy one with the wind at the start of teh 3rd quarter. I wonder if he'll get a game this week

 

[KUNG FU]

There's no doubt he won't be dropped and probably shouldn't be dropped. But I just get way too nervous when he's kicking for goal. I'd hate to be in his shoes. His ability to get the ball should never be in question. Hopefully he's realised his weakness and he'll have been practicing in front of goal for fortnight by next weekend.

Agreed, thats my only main criticism and there has been plenty about Perrie's kicking in the "Tiser" so i'm not just trolling. Theres no one in the crows who deserves to be dropped but Burton needs to come in. IF Perrie continues to miss gettable set shots like he has all year especially under pressure surely he must be dropped.

Didn’t he miss 16 or 17 games? (Rhetorical question)

Not sure if you have thought your last line through . For the season Ian Perrie kicked 5 goals 4 points from his 5 games and then 1.4 last week.

He’s has had one bad game in durable conditions and your ready to cut him off at the knees?


Talk about over reacting.

Whoops underestimated how many games he had missed yet the point remains. Perrie has always been an unreiable kick. I am not making this decision based on last week, its a culmination. Last week when I was watching the game and Perrie was ligning up I said to myself because it was such an important shot. "Ok Perrie if you kick this then maybe my criticism of you has been off the mark" tell me when he was lining up you werent especially nervous. His misses told of lack of confidence and goal kicking proceedure. It's not that I think Perrie doesn't desere to be in the side, it's are we willing to risk a player who hasn't bagged a major haul all year as a key target in attack whom has issues over his kicking. Finals will make you pay, opportunities missed are opportunities lost.
