Player Watch Lin Jong

[legendstatus]

Agree with that. Nothing wrong with grabbing him it makes me happy we are getting a new player and all that but as so becoming a much better side I don't feel like he is going to be the difference.

Everyone, archive this troll and revisit in 12 months.

Prediction is........I think you know the rest.

I think with his speed, tackling, ability to score a goal and cheap price... Jong can potentially fill the defensive forward 50 role that Goldsack excelled in (I think it was 2012) before he slowed due to injury. We have been terrible retaining the ball inside 50 this year, and Jong can rotate into the midfield if needed and team wide probably has more scope and versatility than another specialist forward in Crocker. So i.e:

Jong Moore Elliot
Fasolo Cox Varcoe

Jong and Varcoe chasing down would cause havoc IMO

If that were the case, there'd by nothing stopping AFL clubs from recruiting young basketball centers.
.

I dont give a rats if the Bulldogs pass on Witts. But I'll bet you didnt rate Max Gawn two years ago either.

Go ahead, get a basketball player. We did, and hes partly the reason Witts may be for sale. Do the Dogs have the luxury of a high risk long term punt?

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

The six players opposition clubs are hoping to entice into the annual rucking revolving door are Jarrod Witts (Collingwood), Nathan Vardy (Geelong), Zac Clarke (Fremantle), Majak Daw (North Melbourne), Tom Downie (GWS), and Tom Nicholls (Gold Coast).

So theres the unofficial list of ruckmen on the market.

Vardy possibly the pick of the bunch on talent but has a terrible injury record And hes more a forward than a ruckman, hardly what the Dogs need. If Witts isnt the best value of that bunch as a prospective long term number one ruckman I dont know who is.

Shows Bucks Want Him

No it doesn't. Shows we were interested a few days ago, may or may not be by the time trade week happens.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

We do complain that no one press pressure on Blair. Jong could be a part of the solution. Who else plays that role? Broomhead, except he isn't defensive enough and is always injured. Crocker. Who else?

Elliot and Fasolo would be handy too. Out of sight out of mind...

Fasolo and Elliot

Beat me by ten seconds

What a stupid question

 

[DAWESOME!!]

Fasolo and Elliot

Different type of player. They're marking forwards, not defensive crumbers.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

No, wrong answer.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

You know what happens when you assume.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Nobody tackles harder than Fasolo

 

[DAWESOME!!]

Nobody tackles harder than Fasolo

But he scores mostly from mark and goal, not crumbing, and he's not noticeably quick.

 

[sr36]

Jury is still out on Greenwood as well.

He's an excellent run with player.

 

[mike123]

He's an excellent run with player.

On his day he can be but those games don't come around often enough.

 

[DAWESOME!!]

He's an excellent run with player.

So depth for Greenwood, with Caff gone?

I think Fasolo and Elliot are best used as marking forwards... similiar to Breust and gunston at hawks... we don't want them too banged up.

Being bigger and quicker than Blair... Jong would perform the inside fifty pressure role better than Blair and with less consequence to the forward line structurally and scoring wise if he gets banged up a little in the process... than what it would be losing Fasolo and Elliot.

Forward fifty pressure is a team effort but I also like the idea of the ball being spilled from the Jong tackle and having fasolo and elliot crumb, receive the handball or spread for the marking option, rather than them being tied up in a tackle.

l am 50/50 on the guy, has the pace we need and l have watch him play and goes quite well
as said not a great kick but that's cause he does not take that steading step before kicking.
kicks to much going full tilt. hard at it. if they could get him to tidy up a few things he could be a good asset

I don't think Jong has the intensity of Blair to play a pressure role and I don't think Elliott and Fasolo being marking forwards exempts them from chasing and tackling. Watching Jong he always looks half haerted.

 

[DrDavoren]

Too tall, so pass as we only want short people or giants in our forward line.

Half seriously he could be an upgrade on Blair/Broomhead as he runs both ways.

Probably not as much scoreboard involvement from what I have seen.

Blair is underrated a lot around here but sure the naysayers would be happy if Jong were to push Tyrion out.

 

[jadami1973]

Jong adds depth. He'd be an upgrade on Sinclair, Blair, Langdon, Aish, Smith.

Third round pick is his value.imo.

This is the problem we have a team of players that are upgrades on marginal players. Can we just concentrate on getting Brown and Diacos.
