Player Watch Jordan Roughead

[jathanas]

To me he seems to be doing what is required of him.
That said he did seem a bit rigid last week and made me nervous with ground balls.
Maybe he has a sore back, (?) which might explain the dropped chest mark

Without sounding too new age, people move in a less fluid manner when they're stress affected...or he might just have a sore back.

I agree he hasn't looked the same this year.

 

[surfer1]

Its bizarre. But can't make everyone happy...

Maybe we should trade him in a package with Stevo

I reckon he was stoned against the Hawks, effects wore off half way through the game against the Cats and he got his groove back - even though being stoned is traditionally more groovy than not.

He looked alright taking that one-hander with the greasy ball a few weeks back...

That was a cool mark.

It might just be 2020, the year from hell. The guy is asked to do his job under some pretty challenging circumstances.

He is executing adequately given how much of a clusterf**k this year is. We forget they're human.

Took Long Enough to Announce it

 

[Jen2310]

Yeeah seriously.. If he signed in the pre-season... why not announce it when they announced Grundys and Pendles..

 

[The Royal Sampler]

That’s awfully weird... but good!

 

[TradeDraft]

God Knows. They maybe Forgot about it and Someone just told them he Re-Signed

 

[Jen2310]

This was the reason apparantely..

 

[HFF]

It's a mixed bag with Roughy at the moment
Wonderful servant last season but his form this season is patchy.

Here's hoping he turns the corner and goes back to last season form

So was it Signed on the Days Before the Closed Contract Talks then?

Just hope we keep Pressure as Roughy is great when Ball Comes in Slow but can be Find out at Times when Come in Quick

Must have been.

I wouldn't think too much of his form this year. Basically our whole team has been down in form.

He looks slower though.
Alot slower in mind and in body.
For n ageing KPP----this isn't a "wouldn't worry scenario".

Look at Darcy and Howe before his injury.
Maynard too.

 

[Quicky]

I'm happy about this but can't help but feel 2 years presents some risk.

 

[gouki88]

I'm happy about this but can't help but feel 2 years presents some risk.

It's very potentially his last contract, given that he seems to already be slowing down and has a history of head knocks. Even if he's only a walk-on best 22 member for one of those years I'm okay with that. With the hopeful impending retirements of Mayne, Varcoe, Reid & Beams we should have some money lying about too

 

[whiskeytown]

Good to see he has signed on. I thought with him being a premiership player and there having been some health issues close to home... that he could’ve done a Jimmy Clement and retired early.

 

[Anzacday]

I'm happy about this but can't help but feel 2 years presents some risk.

I think it’s the “how about instead of, (pick a figure) $350k for next year we make it $180-190k x2”?

 

[manicpie]

Just hope we keep Pressure as Roughy is great when Ball Comes in Slow but can be Find out at Times when Come in Quick

That would be the same for any defender

Stick a crystal in his shorts.
Fixes everything "new age"
Purple amethyst should do it.

Or blend wild lavender and haitian vetiver essential oils.

Congrats, big fella…. Should get at least another 20, maybe more if the body holds up.
