Toast The Lewis Young feel good thread

[VitalDread]

c'mon mate, I'm just being honest. I didn't say one thing about the Bulldogs, I have nothing against them. Lewis Young just isn't good.


Yeah fair enough. Are bulldogs fans frustrated he was picked up reasonably early when he probably could've been nabbed in the rookie draft?

not really since Ben Long and Mitch Hannan were gone by the time we had our pick

 

[gangsta deluxe]

Don't want to be too rough. But he's s**t. Played against him and he missed a goal from the goal square. How he went at pick 49 with literally no output shows how silly the draft can be.

A lot of people might have said the same thing about JJ just a few years ago. If you think Dal makes silly decisions, I suggest you look throughout his recent picks. This isnt discounting your experience, but perhaps suggesting that there is more to these choices than you realise.

also don't think dogs really care, our team misses goals all the time so he will fit in straight away

I think the majority of us have decided it's best to trust in our recruiting staff after years of them "reaching" successfully.

I see.. so your club reaches for Galluci on the first round.. and the dogs pick Young at #49 and he's "s**t". you're coming across really petty and you sound borderline jealous

So not only are you a better judge of talent than Simon Dalrymple but you also have access to every club's draft board, wowee!

So because he missed a goal from the goal square, he's no good? I saw Jesse Hogan miss a goal from the goal square, should we call him s**t too? His output wasn't as bad as you're making it out to be as well since he was able to get games in the reserves and a game in the seniors. He obviously played a few good games in the U18's and reserves to get promoted.

Are you frustrated that it happened right in front of you?

 

[VitalDread]

Lewis speaks well, sounds pretty shy but could just be the first time interview.
Be fun to watch him play VFL next year

 

[Cadillac]

Class78 sounds shattered we didn't draft him instead.

Missed a goal from the square one time. What a dud.

Trolling aside, kicking doesn't seem to be as big a focus for dal as it is for some other clubs.

He's drafted guys like Dunkley, Collins, lipinksi (the man has a dead set tumbler in his highlights package) and young in the last 2 drafts.

You can 'teach' kicking, can't teach character and attitude.

Throw in decision making skills for things you can't teach easily as well. Players like Hamilton, Dunkley and Lipinski aren't great kicks at the moment, but they'll all be far better users of the ball long term than a mechanically good kick with poor decision making like Tutt.

 

[dergert]

Jealous opposition opponent in this thread

 

[bontshow]

Got a bit of Casboult about him, marks everything but you hold your breath when he's having a shot

 

[class78]

Wowee, I'm not trolling, I have nothing against the Bulldogs. I just don't rate Lewis Young. Pay out Galluci all you want. Also, you may have drafted a few good players in years past, doesn't mean you're immune to drafting a dud. See: Crows drafting Doedee. Also seems weird that you picked up Young as well as English. Casboult comparison does plenty though. Go you scraggers!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah Lipinski's kick for goal is a shocker.

Even I was capable of kicking the odd " tumbler " Fronk.
Whist he dosnt look a pretty kick , I have seen a lot worse.

No way we would have drafted Young if Dal had seen him shank that one kick on goal

I remember Derek Kickett pulling a classic goal square fail once too.

It seems like size has been one of his top two or three priorities this season Fronk. Caught me by surprise actually.
