ian perrie

[finn]

he gives his all and is usually pretty fit.
could he play as a nullifying backman and use macleod, johncock etc to come past and collect handballs and use their skills?
or is he not agile enough?
i'd say worth a try.

2 - Forward

3 - Back

No, no and no?

Ian Perrie is a dud

 

[crow87]

Pez would be in serious trouble in the backlines, he would get the bath to end all baths. IMO. Playing up forward he contributes though.

what's the collective noun for a plural of arseclown's?

That is a retorical question!

Perrie is NOT a backman.

IMO, he will rightfully return to CHF this week & has been missed.

For those who think he is a dud, get a clue ... & here is a question for you - who has played better as a forward this year - Perrie or Ricciuto?

If we're measuring on output then it's pretty even and most of us acknowledge that the Roo has been ordinary.

Both average 1.5 goals per game.

Roo averages more possesions per game, not surprising considering he has spent some time in the midfield.

Perrie has the edge when it comes to marks per game.

He's certain to be back this week given the injuries to Rutten/Roo and I'm also uncertain whether Bock will play.

Contributions are measured by more than goals. Perrie like Welsh puts plenty of forward pressure & presents. Roo normally would too, but this year has played under duress. You must be kidding if you think their contributions to the team are similar this year. My point about this comparison, is that certain posters are quick to jump on certain players regardless, whilst ignoring that other higher profile players are not playing good footy.

He works very hard to provide an option, you can't fault him there. But forward pressure? He's no Matty Bode.

Their contributions haven't been equal. But they're not as far apart as people think.

It's well acknowledged that Roo has been poor this year. Some have even called for his dropping. Had he not had points in the bank he probably would've been dropped. He wasn't and rightly so.

 

[Gilly #25]

As someone who witnessed him play in the backlines for the Roosters last Sunday v Port Magpies, he ain't no backman.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

NO!!!

brings back memories of Perrie on Alastair Lynch, he was thrown around like a rag doll

Its unfair to compare Roo and Perrie this year for the obvious reasons but you do make a good point. Welsh's forward line pressure is a joke though, his efforts are too sporadic and often he does not put in 100%, something you cannot accuse Perrie of, whatever you think of him.

Who has had the most tackles in the Crows forward line ... by a country mile this year?

His 1st name starts with Scott & he hasn't had a bet with a Cornes.

I'm not going by stats, just my observations, while sometimes he's alright too often I see Welshie not putting in, the word sporadic comes to mind again. Doesnt just come down to tackles either, fighting hard on the deck for the footy also counts, and at the end of the day Welsh should be our number one statistically for forwardline pressue given his size and pace relative to our other forwards and the fact that he spends more time inside the F50 over say a Poprplyzia who I think fights alot harder.

If he's leading our F50 tackles it's a concern as he's averaging 1.9 tackles a game.

Last year Bode averaged 5.

Hurry up and get back Bodey.

2 facts about Welsh this year:

1. He leads our goal-kicking, even though he has usually bee matched up on the opposition's best defender (with no Hentschel, Roo, etc).

2. He has mad more tackle than any other player in our forward 50m by a long, long way.

Yet some posters think we would be better off without him. Must be the Darren Jarman principle where, posters concentrate too much on the percieved lazyness, rather than the overall good v bad.

If Welsh had not been playing this year, IMO we would not even be in touch of the top-8 this year.

Welsh is top-5 in inside 50m tackler in the AFL as well as leading our goal-kicking. If all our forward had these stats we would be topping the ladder!

How about concentrating on other players in our team who aren't performing.

I know he leads our goal kicking and has done pretty well, I dont think we'd be out of touch with the top 8 without him though, someone would have stepped up or we'd have kicked those goals some other way, its not like we'd just have a void in the forward line. He is valuable but many of his goals seem to come at "easy" times, and his stats get padded a little by goals when the match is over.
Cant seriously compare Welsh with Jarman, right?
As highlighted by bus, 1.9 tackles is way below someone like Bodey, big blokes like Kenny, Perrie and Bock arent really gonna lay too many tackles so as a permanent forward Welsh doesnt have that much opposition to lead the stats of most inside 50 tackles.
At times his efforts are commendable but sometimes found lacking.
Never said we should drop him and neither do I think it though.

Please dont mention Welsh in the same sentence as Fud. Welsh is coming from so far back this year, and on a 1 yr performance based contact he should be chasing opponents like a greyhound chasing a rabbit...but he usually doesnt. I'd say chuck him in the melting pot for the Pav trade, he might fit in with the Freo disciplinary mould.

Im not a Pez fan either...he's been a good workhorse for the club and I admire the guy for getting the most out of himself, but frankly it's time to move on. I'd rather see a forward line that included Sellar, Trent and Pav (or in Pav's absence Ken/Bocky), with a side dish of Roo and Bode. Now thats firepower.....time to get rid of Pez and Welsh.

good call.

the perception of welsh being lazy in defence is unfair. sure he might have been a few years ago but he's really made an effort to improve that area of his game this season.

Welsh 1.9 tackles per game.

Burton 2 per game.
Roo 2 per game.
Vince 2.5 per game.
Porplyzia 2 per game.

I'm not sure how far a country mile is anymore....

 

[RoosterLad]

I'm not sure of the stats but are those tackles all in the forward line?

 

[ThePeckers]

I just hope the big lad plays a blinder. I would love that. Personally I want to see Sellar play, but I wouldn't have a clue if he is ready?
