JLT Series Discussion Thread

[Hairy Lager]

Without any context this particular comparison is a bit flawed. Look at the K:H ratio between the two before looking at overall DE% plus also where on the ground they won most of their disposals and the average distance gained per disposal. It's harder to have a higher DE% forward of centre when you're kicking it longer.

I don't seem to recall comparing DE stats in my initial coment just that he is like Ollie Wines?
cdcanman was the one that took my comments out of context.

**** Nroo is a machine isn't he? .... and he has great character. Something some Hawks players and ex players should try....

He also has zero premiership medals.

Petracca could become what wines looked to become, wines looked fantastic his first year but his kicking and decision making is holding him back from taking the step into sp atm.

Agree. Don't count out Ollie though. It seems he's been more focused on doing the "team things" recently. I think once he gets used to that 2 way running and defensive pressure he will be good to go to the next level again.

 

[Super Hans]

All eyes on Higgins and Goldy for me today.

Not his fault tbh, he'd probably have 6 if he played for hawthorn.

 

[stevebbb]

hoping the North rookies perform well again today

it'll be interesting to see how Goldy goes, and how much time he will get on the ground with both Preuss and Daw in

I need to see a bigger SC score from Rough before I jump back on, hopefully he can kick a few today

 

[CrozaN]

Time for Tichell to unleash the beast.

My initial comment before it was taken out of context was that Chewy had a leg like Hurn, lazer accurate.
Ollie was 2nd in clangers last year, so no comparision other than thigh girth.

 

[Hairy Lager]

Miles, Goldie, Roughy, EVW, Hibberd come on down.

Titch hodge Jager watch too

 

[TheOz]

Studly to destroy this game and be traded into tens of thousands of teams by quarter time.

He never left...*

*may or may not be true

 

[Super Hans]

Also keen to see Gunston.

 

[gutsroy]

Watchafl is pretty good now it is working. I can count all of Kingy's chins no worries. Pretty good resolution, nice interface. Looks a great (hot) day.

Durdin hopefully goes well.

 

[TheOz]

Higgins busy early

 

[Brick Loosener]

Durdin hopefully goes well.

The first rule of Fight Club.........

 

[Double the Fist]

He also has zero premiership medals.

I certainly got up your sandy snatch Goats. R U ok?

 

[Double the Fist]

Higgins busy early

Is this year the first pre-season Higgo has actually had?
He was good first JLT too I believe.

 

[stevebbb]

Gunston going to run the wing more with Roughy back it seems, playing that NRoo role

20 touches, 10 marks and a goal or 2 a game, ~95 average imminent, can he break the 100 barrier though?

 

[Double the Fist]

All eyes on Higgins and Goldy for me today.

Your not seriously considering Higgins.

Srs?


No way man!

 

[freddy mercury]

JOM looks the goods. Seriously considering him.

Roughy sure changes things. Glad he's back and hope he can make an impact.
Gunston is watch for me.

No way man!

why not? he's going to play on-ball, will rack em up
90+ average easily, only concern is can he stay on the pitch
