Toast Round 3 = Collingwood 63-49 Richmond

You do realise there's always been outside players right. You can't have every player going in for the ball because then you'd have no one to feed the ball out to.

Yep.

Was exactly my point mate!
Sorry I didn’t make that clearer.

Any outside player Is immediately tarnished.

I’m 100% fine with him being outside.
In fact, I don’t want him in midefield…..ever!

His damage is just far too high playing the role he is playing

I hate people using the word seagull.

Johnson is such a talent, he's so laconic that it looks like he's barely trying at times. Once the penny drops he could be a genuine A grader.

Might be another Tom Langdon.

I mean, Nick pushing over Rioli was completely unnecessary so I understand it.

It was, but Rioli can look after himself. Lynch coming in like he did was pissweak.

Umm…ok.
So you went me because of the word I quoted, not the sentiment of my post.
Power to you!!


Ps. Seagull in this context is that he gets his possessions by HB receives and gets heaps of “cheap” 1-2…..do you disagree this is how he gets his possessions?

What seagull doesn’t say is how insanely damaging his possessions are….

 

[lenny&carl]

Seagull? Or give-him-the-ball-and-we-win.

Lol.

Same thing as far as Nick is concerned.

Question: why is everyone worried about him being labeled? Hardly new to players that shoe immense talent.

…I’m happy for him to be a “seagull “ for the rest of his career because it will amount to a crazy amount of wins!!!

Seagull away!!!!!

Because your comment was seen as criticism of Nick. Sacrilege!

I understand it wasn't, but others might have seen it differently.

Interesting your comment about him not going into the midfield. Some might view that as Sacrilege as well.

How the hell could any pies supporter not want him to do what he does right now?!? Staggering.

Secondly, he’s a “seagull”, “squib”, “overrated”……what have I missed?!?

All of those are just jealous comments. Simple question….would they say the same if he was playing for them?

Game is so far advanced from “you have to play mid to be good”….yet this is where we are.

They are probably the same ones that still think Moore should play forward because forwards are more important than defenders.

Amen dj some people are totally obsessed with every player, the entire coaching panel and the boot studder being inside players.

PFFFFFFT !!!!

Is AJ the first bloke to ever do a speccy in a ruck contest? That was epic, my man got about 3 stories high lol.

Who has a nice HD photo of that. It will be an iconic photo.

I like to refer to him as Flynch. Flat track bully.

Nice.

One from further away would be great to see just how high off the ground he is. Spectacular leap. He’s gifted. How long until he takes mark of the century.

 

[Daicos Torpedo]

Good summary here.
Dumb tigger person in the comments

Footy Fix: Supremely skilled in the sun, tough as nails in the wet - is there anything Fly's Pies can't do?

If one thing was going to stop the Collingwood juggernaut in its tracks, a wet night, against a side who built a dynasty around…

of ruckmen, folks.

 

[Big Bryza]

Gee, I wouldn’t have known the difference had you not pointed it out. Way to miss the point completely. Bet you wouldn’t have been praising him if Nick doing that had caused the free to be overturned and led to a goal

Nah this isn't Auskick. I don't mind our boys showing some physicality toward the oppo. JFN did it last week near the end of the game. We're showing other teams that we are a force this season.

 

[Big Bryza]

Mate at this stage of his career….he’s an absolute seagull!!!
Let’s not pretend he’s not.

But his damage is legit in the top 3 AFL wide….so let him do what he’s best at.
Running and kicking!!!

Edit: don’t blame Nick…blame the coaches for identifying this and playing him to his strengths!! Hardly a knock on him btw.

I'd argue that he gets a lot of 'easy' touches because he reads the play far better than any other bloke on the ground.

 

[Big Bryza]

Might be another Tom Langdon.

Langers was a serious talent cut down in his prime. Was awesome in the 2018 GF.

AJ has a higher ceiling. Could honestly see him having a 15 mark, 8 goal game at some point this season.
