2nds North Adelaide vs Port Adelaide - Round 7 @ Prospect

[philthy05]

The problem with Burgoyne is that to be an AFL half back you need to have elite disposal and/or elite pace and he has neither.

He has elite agility, his 360o movement is insane really. Good first step.

While he never displays a lot of straight line running, I’m not sure it’s an issue.

Hmm, his disposal isn’t bad, he’s quite a clever ball user , decent kick and nice touch and quick to fire off , but lately has become more and more prone to mistakes.


I still think he’s got more than enough good qualities, I don’t think anyone even expected him to have played this much afl at this stage. Predraft he was said to be years away from being ready.

Casalini looks like he has some future but I’ve only seen him today so not sure what he’s been playing like.

Jackson out there we romp in.

He's got an incredible ability to get the ball to advantage in tight. With time he could be a crafty contested ball winner.

I must be watching a completely different player

 

[NoddyHolder]

Don't think Scully played the second half, would have kicked a bag if he did.

He played. He just had a north defender surgically attached to each arm. Hopefully they can be successfully amputated before the next game

He was fantastic last year and average this year , sounds like a young skinny player in an afl system to me.

Progression isn't linear

 

[Brian McGee]

Probably time for them to start thinking about giving sinn a run in the afl. He has Gad a really good stretch of consecutive games. Starting to look like his body is getting right. Would love to see what he could do, even as the sub.

 

[davesnothere]

Sinn should have moved ahead of Burgoyne.

Imagine the discipline it takes to be that North player and not give away a free kick ...

 

[Sir Watchalot]

This game was a leap ahead for Sinn, he hasn't been overlooked.

Prospect is a good ground just need to replace the days of yore goal posts

I can only remember it as a mud heap. Been a while.

Seen some good old mud heap matches at Prospect in the last couple of years.

 

[Portwon]

Don't like losing but some things to like there.

Positioned myself in the forward line and how many times Scully was held preventing him getting to the contest was laughable given some of the crap they paid the other way

Missed Huge's ball use.

I really like Sinn another preseason with no injury he gonna be good.

Wasn't a mud heap today, far better dimensions for footy than shitholes like Norwood.

 

[Winganeen]

Sinn is looking ripe for a game against Hawthorn,


Surely.

And abuse from the Roosters' grog squad. I mean "you'd never take your family again" abuse. One year I should go to Sturt v North, then North v Sturt and see who presents the most wildly ant-social environment for visiting teams. It's possible both only arc up for Port though.

 

[Jonts]

PS saw Dean Brogan working with the South rucks in the televised game.

Has been there all year

Clayton got him involved with Snr colts and role has grown from there i heard

We call it “stadium talk” in our house. The boys understand it.
