Perrie for centre-half forward

[jmorg1]

I hope you don't mind my visit to your board.

Not at all.

BTW, I know I harp on it a lot but I hope Perrie has been working on snapping goals.

That's Wazza/Bustling/JB/St. Nick territory...

I doubt Pez could manage that.

I am testing my memory here but I reckon Perrie averaged around 6 marks in 2003 (Can anyone confirm this?) so to expect him to agevage 6-7 might not be that big an ask.

Also his 15 possesions would translate into 6 or 7 possesions from the players you mentioned. Perrie can find the footy but he doesn't use it anywhere near as well as the players you mentioned.

perrie should play in the centre half forwrd posisition but for watts to develop he also needs to spend time in the centre half forwrd posistion. watts should play in the forward pocket most of the game but occasionally perrie should rest an watts should play centre half forward.

I hope you don'tmind me having an opinion on your team.

I think Perrie should be given a go, he has bucket hands and is a confidence player.Much like our braddy.

I personally like watching him play. Good luck this season.

I believe Watts needs to both build up his upper body and hold down a CHF position with the Eagles for the best part of the season and if he improves, then give him a shot if the finals are out of the question. He is not ready for AFL yet IMO.

Actually, I always thought that was his strength - not so much "snapping" but he used to be a lot better kick on the run that from a set shot. He was relaxed on the run, seemed to seize up at set shots.

I remember one match when his shanked a set shot, then shortly afterwards at another set shot after he decided to play on, ran around the man on the mark and nailed it from about 45m.

Then he spent the summer with D Jarman and the improvement was incredible.

A few weeks ago I might have agreed with you but Watts is way off the mark for this year. If he stays at the club he will develop over the next couple of years, but as far as '05 is concerned....Perrie is certainly putting his hand up and looks the most imposing player at training...something I thought I'd never say.

Fair enough fellas, you know your players better than me. With a year left on his contract and under a new coach, I guess this is his make or break year. Good luck to him.

Well said.

Lets not jump the gun with this kid. Let him hold down CHF for the Eagles with some consistency then if his performances warranty a selection then bring him in and play him on the flank or in the pocket.

He needs some major gym work and a fair bit of work.

Watts will only improve if he plays AFL. he will improve playing SANFL he wil improve more playing AFL

although i certaintly do agree with u about watts having to hold down the chf posistion with the eagles first.

Certainly not a make or break year - at his height I wouldn't expect much from him till year 4 not year 2

IMO Perrie would be CHF with Hentschel and Mark Stevens as the other 2 tall forwards plus Welsh and 2 little blokes

however, given that Craigy wants to play Biglands up forward then my scenario above wouldnt work - 2 many big blokes if Biggles is also there

If those first 3 are fit and available can't see him being used forward.

Welsh Stevens Bode/McLeod

Hent Perrie Johncock


Not a bad looking forward line IMHO. I doubt we will see it though.
