Universal Love Matt Arnot

[Deanos]

Matty Arnot is fast becoming one of my favourite players. He has pace, provides forward pressure when his down there, he isn't afraid to lay a few tackles, manages to hurt blokes twice his size, provides run and carry (mainly in the VFL but he started to show it on friday night) and he gives 110% to every contest.

Here is an article on biscuit:

Tiger Tough.

Needs to start

 

[Deanos]

Needs to start

I reckon he will, after the praise he received from Dimma.

LOL at maxwell in the image of the article? Looks at the man not the ball.

It took about 30 seconds for the commentators to realize what a battering ram this kid is.

He is Kings replacement IMO, not Lloyd. This kid is gonna be good.

Every stoppage he got to he hit someone, cant teach that.

Bulldozer who can finish. Brings the hurt factor and will make opposition players 2nd guess themselves.

Massive fan.

This why he needs to start.
I believe Arnott would have set the scene early on against the Pies. Really believed he would have been the one to hit Macaffer.

Just read my signature. Says it all really

Would be good if he could leave his teammates out of it though. That was bloody stupid.

I reckon we could all think of a few drills...

Read the article.
Sounds very confident in his attributes and skill. Some may take its arrogance but i like it.

Nice to see a player not speak like a robot all the time.

Youthful exuberance ??? Still would rather see them a bit keen than wuss it...(but hope he doesn't make a habit of it)

 

[juss]

Been a fan since his debut. Would love to see him play out the year.

 

[tigertaskforce]

not saying told you so but -----------

I hope so. He needs to learn to harness his aggression because he will become a liability if he doesn't. Played footy once with a guy similar who couldn't harness it and he would often harm the teams chances more than he helped by either giving away silly free kicks or by trying to get a kick when a teammate was in a better position to take possession rather than shepherding etc. Like I said in another thread, if he had have channeled that same aggression towards Macaffer, I would have been very happy to see it!

Big fan of "Bikkies" just love the way he goes about it, hits every contest like its his last. If he gets the chance to hurt someone he will, helps out his team mates. Its everything Richmond was 25-30 years ago. If everyone could have a bit of Matty in them, the team would improve out of site.

Really like him in his interviews. Not arrogant just a guy who is acutely aware of his skills and limitations and loves hard work. What Arnot has is what our top picks currently lack, hunger.

Only had 1 free kick against. Was very funny when he tried to compete for an uncontested mark with Gordon and they both spilled it. Gordon was very confused and agitated.

 

[Strawbs]

He is a Nice crumber.
(Sorry, couldn't resist taking the biscuit).

Great to have Arnot as a Tiger.

The Richmond Tiger Talk podcast guys mentioned King having a clause in his contract that says he doesn't get a 2015 gig unless he plays 12 games in 2014. King has been a true servant of the club and deserves all respect, but frankly, I think that Arnot will keep him out of the team until he has missed his chance of playing 12 games this season.

Yep. After the loss to Collingwood in the rooms, there was footage of King literally leaning over right into Gordon's face, probably telling him to keep your head up as it was not Gordon's best game of footy. It was great to see him giving support to the new guy, instilling confidence etc.

Been a fan since he put that Gold Coast defender in hospital. You could here the crunch from space.
