Player Watch Jack Madgen (Delisted 2022)

[Rorzza]

A least CFC have worked out Madge and Mihocek are not AFL ready as defenders.

We put them to the sword putting them on one of the best forwards in the last 20 years. It was no where near their fault.

 

[TradeDraft]

Tried but when Structure died when Moore went off. He had no Chance

 

[Yezeha]

Unfortunately a Lamb to the slaughter tonight but thanks to Twiggy McHamstrings, he's gonna get another crack at it next week. Looking forward to seeing how he goes.

 

[Scritchyscroony]

Thought he looked good in the first qtr and a bit. After that though.... Nice of the coaches to play him 1 out on Buddy when he's on fire all through the third...

Bit harsh mate.
I think what CFC might have learned is that they are not ready to be the leaders of the backline yet.
But I guess you are right, after a long career of 1 game Madge should by now be stepping up and taking the responsibility of being the general down back.

I f****g hate pot shots at new players.

Before Glassy went off with his usual hamstring Madge was actually very impressive.
Imagine if he had Howe, Dunny, Moore and Shaz around him for support.
But he had none of those.
Saying a Cat B rookie is not AFL ready after the circumstances in which he had to play his first game is just mental.

There are times to be critical.
This is not one of them.

Howe back next week
Funny I was originally thinking Cox would be the twiggy, whereas Darcy looked so strong athletic and healthy. but cox proving v strong but still needs to develop game a lot more, if he has it in him.

Was impressive, before being asked to take the greatest player of this generation getting silver service from a dominant Swans midfield in his first game after coming from about tenth in line off the Cat B rookie list due to unprecedented injuries.

A bit of perspective, folks.

mihoceks 50 against franklin was unforgivable. should be dropped for that.

Yes, in tight games it can be very costly.

 

[Kirby]

I thought Madgen was really good early when he got to play on equally as inexperienced Swans. It was only being thrown onto Franklin that stuffed him.

I think he gets a game next week. We probably don't have a choice anyway.

If I could give you 10 likes I would because that is right on the money,no way on earth a 1st gamer should be expected to stand Franklin and then copped s--- when he could not contain him.
It has been a dreadful year for injuries but christ teeing off on a 1st gamer not on.

 

[Rorzza]

Posters on BF seem surprised about what happened last night with Madge and Mihocek, both would have been selected with the preconceived possibility that both might be called upon to mind Franklin, whether that was through injury or rotations. They both performed below par last night, not ready yet, no sin!

 

[FrankCostanza]

Madgen was good last night.

Plenty more accomplished defenders have been exposed 1 on 1 by Buddy. He'll be better for the run.

 

[regpies]

Bizarre to put him on Buddy when he was clearly having a good night. He seemed a bit slow but hard to tell, brought in ahead of time due to our ridiculous circumstances.

In fairness we weren't exactly spoiled for choice once Moore went down

I think you're reading too much into this. Buddy got his tail up in the first quarter when opposed to Darcy Moore. How many AFL defenders are ready to be thrown onto Buddy when he is on song?

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Not quite Brett Gloury v Paul Salmon

 

[TW Sherrin]

Buddy kicked 3 after qtr time. I can live with that every day of the week.

 

[76woodenspooners]

Great stuff Madge.

You’re soaking in it Madge ...

 

[DaVe86]

We have no choice but to play him really really unless Reid or Goldsack are fit sooner than expected.

I thought his first quarter was really good, but was a lamb to slaughter unfortunately when moved to Buddy. In the end though, Buddy kicked 3 goals after half time, and I reckon 2 of them were on Mihocek, so he was hardly killed.

Going to be a baptism of fire for the kid but I don't think he looked totally out of place.

Not everyone can be as lucky as Frost where the delivery was down the drain or as lucky as Schade where Buddy decided to miss everything.

 

[cleomenes]

I thought he played quite well and was certainly not disgraced in his first game. He looks to me as if he could become quite useful in defence as he gets more experience.

Buddy missed as many last night as he did on Schade!!!

Yeah they are definitely behind Reid Moore Dunn Goldsack and Howe. Not bad for sixth and seventh choice though.
