Player Watch Jake Soligo

[crowholder]

He does not have a reliable left foot, but his off the side of the boot right foot skills are elite. I love watching him play.

 

[Big Dub]

Didn't we try to trade away the Soligo pick at the last minute, but the AFL blocked it?

Thank you AFL

Actually, I think it was Melbourne's pick 39, 3 picks after Soligo, that was blocked.

This is the pick that Adelaide had previouslt been traded to Melbourne, and therefore fell foul of the AFL rules.

Edit: nope, I was incorrect.

Getting better and better..
Worked his guts out in terrible conditions and showed clean ball handling.
That game on a wet night shouldn't be overlooked.

this guy has a couple of yellow jackets coming his way

25 disposals, 339m gain and only 78% TOG.

Rowey said on 5aa call last week that Soli is battling through some groin soreness. Would explain his low time on ground last week in the 60%s.

Better this week though.

Not too surprising for a 3rd year player to be battling some injuries deep into a season

Can’t wait to see his fitness continue to grow so he can do this even more regularly

It's funny cos last year he couldn't break a tackle to save his life. Got caught so often trying to fend. What a difference a pre season makes.

 

[PeterSalt]

This is impressive

Great pick up by Vardy.
Even greater effort(s) by Jake.

Reminds me of peak Sloane.

We’re edging closer to having the kind of midfield where the opposition can’t afford to worry only about Dawson. Rankine has shown plenty of times this year he can get off the chain, and Soligo is getting there too.

And a 10% rise from Rach and oh boy

 

[StonesThrow]

He did some very good moves on the weekend to show he's gonna be a very good midfielder. Execution is letting him down a little at times, but we know he's skilled so that should pick up as he gets more confidence

I’ve been saying it all year, the midfield is no where near as dire as it’s made out to be. We are one player away from it being very good, and there’s every chance Curtin is that guy.

Has been a little bit quieter since the last showdown so might be running out of gas, but still performing extremely well. Another pre season will do him the world of good.

That song slaps

Definitely has been rushing his kicks toward the end of the season when he break in the clear with his burst of speed for the first 10-15m and TOG is still only 80%.

Our drafting pre 2020 is the problem - the misses of Gallucci, Jones, McHenry,McAsey completely wrecked our opportunity for a quick bounce (in conjunction with losing Lever, Cameron and McGovern)
Majority of the good talent on our list is only 3 years in

He’s traditionally used a fairly “funky” soundtrack and it looks like he’s changing things up a bit.

Sounds like an AI job to me. Pretty catchy

This is exactly why we're not finals contenders yet. The players you've mentioned should all be 100+ games played and filling that void of 24-28 year olds. Say what you want about Nicks, but list management and drafting has been the main issue at the club. We've seemingly turned the tide though with selections outside the first round in Soligo, Dowling, Taylor, Nank, Worrell, Sholl starting to become important players.
