Official Nathan Foely Appreciation Thread

[RichosGuns]

How good is this guy. I was his biggest critic 2-3 years ago but now he is the best player at Tigerland. His clearance work is amazing and his run through the middle with his bounces is fantastic. He short kicking skills are brilliant, probably the best in the team, and he always finds the right position. Would easily fit into anyother AFL side

He had 24 touches, 11 contested, 5 clearances and a career high and game high whopping 7 goal assists.

If all goes well for him he will win the Jack Dyer BnF and could have a Brownload and a number of All Australian apperances by his side by the end of his 200+ game career

I think it's an insult to Foley that one of these wasn't started a month ago Shame on us all

 

[schulzy]

his ability to extract the footy from tough situations is first class, looks quite quick and uses the ball well. he is fast becoming, if not already a fan favourite. nathan anlong with jake king have shown that height isn't all you need, the best thing to have is a big heart. am i right im saying they offered him wayne campbell's number 9 at the start of this year and he knocked it back?

 

[tugga]

Rapidly becoming everyone's favourite player.

 

[Richo is God]

absolute superstar!

 

[anti.]

noticed this kid last year and thought he had the tools to become a gun. the sort of in and under player that everyone loves.

 

[krustyman]

foleys run and carry added a new dimension to his game. usually he is just a ball getter, and he looked more damaging than previously.

 

[RichosGuns]

Named into Mike Sheahans All Australian Team as an Emergency today

 

[rfctigerarmy]

If anyone has recorded the game, watch it and see exactly what Foley does. He rarely screws up. Look at his handballing ability to find a player.

Hes been a revolution.

Nathan Foley is a gun!

Yeah i know i am big noting myself but I could dig out the thread nearly three years ago and do my best Michael Williamson "I tipped this" inpersonation.

Self proclaimed president of his fan club.

 

[nugget_12]

love the kid......shows true Tiger presence on the field.

will be around for a long long time.

 

[Ah Cheung]

Very good kid, his disposals by hand and foot have improved a lot this year. Regardless of how he goes for the rest of the year I think he's a shoe in for Jack Dyer Medal.

 

[zacaxel1975]

I love seeing him on his knees grab the ball off an opponent and when you think the only option is a quick handball - he just magically appears on his feet, sprints ten and kicks 45m.
He goes from being on the ground to flat out running in a flash.

Can you imagine a team with him and Cogs extracting the ball to Lids, Bling and even Jacko

 

[Truetiger]

one of very few players that we have that has heart and will put his body on the bloody line. Others should follow and learn from this kid.

Would definately leading it but i think Polak and Deledio would be breathing down his back.

 

[PHX]

I guess he's ok.

 

[A•|dan]

When I looked in my dream team about 5 rounds ago and saw he scored 100 I thought.. WOAH! I have to check out this kid. He is a legend.

 

[footyfan_25]

If we are going to have an appreciation thread for him ... we should at least spell his name right in the thread title

 

[A•|dan]

Lol yeah. Oh well.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

Would it be going too far suggesting he lead the team next year? Even richo on before the game conceded he does more work on self improvement than anyone in the team, he could be a true lead by example captain. He's young, yes, but he looks a general in the middle and has more heart then anyone in the team (besides richo). His awareness and disposal this year have improved 100% and his run and carry is superb.

Then I'd only one-up you by dragging out the thread on the Draft Board where I was the only one to suggest he was draftable.

 

[deliberate!!]

Done it the hard way at our club.
No red carpet privileges given to this guy.
Foley's a Champ

Take note;
Polak, King, Foley and Lids.
These 4 names have set the benchmark for consistency at our club.
If any other player doesn't match up to this level of commitment and honest game play, then they are wasting our time and our quest for a flag.
All players, of all ages and pay packets should adhere and aspire to this.
The bar has been lifted. This is what we require at the RFC, or you can piss off!

At last...........we have a ****ing standard of quality expected at our club.

 

[Madtiger2006]

Foley you legend

 

[Truetiger]

Hopefully the umpires rate him

 

[want2spoodge_pettifer]

me, personally, two hands on the jack dyer. .
