"how much longer can Priddis be debated in the Jack Redden thread?"

 

[HoneyBadger35]

What's the point of this video? First kick is an absolute howler no doubt, I then got about another 40 seconds in before I got bored of seeing Priddis tackled immediately or even before he's even grabbed the ball.

On topic though, Redden's kick to Kennedy was absolute perfection and one of the best weighted field kicks I've seen in a while.

Same. This is old footage of a guy who has clearly become one of the most damaging mids in the game and our (arguably) most important player.

The one to Cripps is the 2nd was almost as good and served as a good practice run for the pass to Kennedy in the last - the two kicks were near identical

That video was put together by domo at the height of his Priddis hate a couple of seasons ago. It's no longer relevant

 

[Dark Sharks]

From memory, the video wasn't meant to just highlight Matt's bad stuff because that was nitpicking. That's why there are decent things in it.

Instead it was supposed to show his lack of defensive chasing, the fact Naitanui wastes hit outs to advantage by hitting to a stationary Priddis compared to a player on the move like Shuey, and obviously.... that grubber kick.

2 years old now, but i daresay the point it was posted for was to prove that Matt wasn't the same player 2 seasons ago. He HAS improved.

If i could be fd doing a priddis vid now it would show a bunch of useful possesions that lead to something more often than not.

Its chalk and cheese

That's certainly not the context Kranky Al was trying to use it in though.

I think that's EXACTLY what he was trying to use it for to be honest.

Kranky, like myself, doesn't agree whatsoever with people claiming that Matt has been a gun for years and that all the Priddis 'haters' have been proven wrong. When in reality, Matt was half the player he is now, and has improved his own game greatly, hence why the hate has seemingly diminished.

The anti Priddis movement were proven wrong in the sense that Matt cannot improve at his age and stage of his career. Very wrong. So i'll raise my hand.

Simmo has definitely made a big difference in Priddis game, and its fantastic to see.

This. The anti Priddis group werent wrong in some respects as at times, a lot of times, he was a liability. However, he has improved greatly over the leat couple of years

Poor Jack. His thread got hijacked.

 

[donpyke92]

Go Jack Pridden...oops, somewhat confused

 

[SpaceClef]

Hijack Thredden

 

[jsdsgn]

Retired....what?! Did NOT see that coming. Thought he had a good season and had plenty of footy left.

 

[kane249]

Wow did not see that coming, he had a reasonable year all things considered

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Congrats on a fine career Reddo!
Can't say I'm unhappy about the decision though.
Did what was best for the club.

 

[DanWCE]

Cheers for everything, Reddo. 2018 beast mode was a highlight

 

[Monocle]

Always sad news when a great Clubman retires, he is the heart and soul sort of player that goes unheralded but is essential to winning a Premiership.

In the same category as Stenglein and Lamb.

Terrific acquisition.

 

[GWeagles]

Well done Jack. An old fashioned “socks down” type of player. Did the job very well and with the minimum of fuss. Definitely an excellent trade in.

 

[RookiePick]

This god damn mutha****ing club

Super pissed about this. Reddo was one of our only reliable oldies and we have pushed him out the door.

Thanks for all your contributions, especially the flag Red-Dog!
