tell me what about priddis is better than ginner??
his hairdo??
lets go thru all the attributes of a footballer and compare them
I dare u
that you can watch that
video of priddis and still claim he is irreplaceable is ridiculous. ANY AFL player could have performed equally as good at that "role" and the involvements your saw in the video. To say no one else in our team could physically equal those efforts is also baloney.
Half the time "mr extractor" is splatted on the ground barely getting the ball out. Fumbling around missing taps.. almost throwing out handballs in close. We're lucky the umps rarely pay incorrect disposal. He is second in on tackles and hangs off the packs (when he's supposed to be going in there and getting it)
My fav moment (not) bout 2:30 in is where YEO extracts it to shuey who is on the burst, and priddis gets in the way.. priddis ends up with the ball.. floats around sideways like a goose cause he has no right foot .. then snap kicks chaos ball in hope it 10m to the opposition inside fifty.
If you
watch the other video you'll also see its Shuey and other players who also emerge from at the bottom of a pack. Mr extractor is far from the only one who does and can do it. He just gets the most opportunity in that position and has done so for 3 years. You'll see shuey and lecras take ruck taps and burst away from the stoppage. You'll see Duggin Yeo Masten Sheed and Wellingham all equally (and better IMO) able to get in hard and extract the footy. Jesus Christ saint mary of matera its not that difficult to pick up the ball off the ground.
The best effort priddis had in the video is the intercept he does and then passes to Sinclair on the lead inside 50. Sinclair duffs the mark and the kick is a little floppy high floater (as per usual). But its a positive effort. The "game winning" goal shuey kicks.. the ball ricocets out to priddis at the back off a port players shin.. its hardly a hard ball get. Granted he collects it and gets it onto shuey .. just like any AFL player should be able to do.
I didn't want to have to annotate the videos but I may have to
