The never ending Priddis debate - part II

[RookiePick]

Because when you slate a guy over and over as having zero hurt factor and not being involved in scoring chains and he has a game where he leads the team for goal assists it makes you seem like less of a flog when you concede he did some OK things on the night.

 

[GIFMaker]

In determining whether Matt can assist us in winning a flag I have to take account of a 30m kick under zero pressure kicked out in front of an elite forward?

The sort of pass that a decent schoolboy footballer would make 8 out of 10 times?

Why?

Nice strawman. I said nothing about him helping us winning a flag, I was responding to your comment that implied he was a liability yet again. Those 2 score involvements show that he wasn't, bar one dropped mark (from a poor kick in to begin with). Here's a third to make your evening/day



Josh hill soccers the goal. That is good creative play under pressure. Your writing style indicates you are an intelligent bloke, surely you can see that he had a pretty good night.

Strawman? Are you new here you arsehat?

Read my post, the criticism of Matt relates to his capacity to play his role and have us win anything 1,2,3 or 12 GIF's of semi-useful skill execution isn't going to change the argument... STRAWMAN indeed...

You do understand the word "irony" right?

I cant understand how a left footer in Gaff could spud up that snap so bad.

In 2 minds?

Who invited the new kid? The one who has no ****ing idea what the debate is about or who the key players in the debate are?

Fivey, you might want to PM the ignorant twat for his own protection

That gif says it all for me, people bag Priddis but Gaff gets away with being soft when the slightest amount of body pressure is on him? hmm.

I agree... making condescending comments regarding my intelligence wasn't warranted.

Clearly he's a noob

Is there a point to this post IN A PRIDDIS thread?

I do, which is why i find it astonishing that a bloke of your linguistic versatility and presumed intelligence calls a pass to a forward's tit "semi useful". Or a handball that leads to an easy running goal. Or a kick under pressure in the forward line that sets up a team-mate for a goal.

Another diversion...

Let's say they are all awesome, inspiring, game turning moments... which they aren't...

What's your point?

Need some Shupe hitting packs pls.

 

[Obeanie1]

I laughed just as hard... specialist half-forward lol.

Anyway, things won't be so simple. Playing him at HF still creates a load that others have to carry. If the other mids start breaking down in time (and they will), then things will end up back where they started.

Who said specialist half forward?

A high half forward is a mid playing half forward who follows the ball.

A specialist half forward is Le cras, someone who can play up the ground a bit but is predominately a forward who can kick bags.

All players have their limitations, I know which ones I'd prefer in a player.
At any given contest, Priddis is more likely to stop the opposition from winning a clean possession than pretty much any player in the league. Clean possessions from a stoppage are the easiest way to score, but they are extremely rare in the modern game, because every team has big bodied mids who deny that from the opposition, and Priddis is pretty much number one in that role.

That's a view, there's no doubt about that ....

You're exquisitely named by the way

The point is that for a quality mid and one that has won a brownlow we shouldn't have to be highlighting gifs about a 30 meter pass to a leading forward.
You won't find it on any other board about any other leading midfielder. We didn't have to do it for Judd or cousins or matera. It was without question something that was done as if waking up in the morning.
But for Matt it is done as if we are supposed to yell out "WE WERE WRONG" and make some special homage to it.

These sorts of delivery from priddis is not only rare by foot but also done mostly against weaker opposition who don't apply pressure to the ball carrier.

I wonder if Matt will do that against port on Sunday so easily with Kane kornes sitting on him now that he is a "specialist" high half forward flanker.

If I were you I wouldn't bother arguing with someone who calls passes that set up goals "semi-useful".

 

[Eastern Rangers]

Priddis is also top 10 in the league for goal assists, and top 20 in the league for effective disposals.
His strong tackling at contests is still a huge asset however. There's a reason that many of the best coaches consider effective tackles to be the most important stat in the game.

Nothing you've written addresses my addenda.

Oh dear, the less intelligent but undeniably devoted sycophant has arrived. Time for me to depart, this discussion about score assists being "semi useful" has lowered the collective IQ of the whole board.

The troll account has logged off when called to account. How amusing

(Member since 3 hours again. Lol)

Yes, obviously turnovers are more effective when the opposition is front running compared to when they are waiting for the ball to be cleared from a contest, but that doesn't stop the fact that the only reason there is a contest at all is because your big bodied players are crashing into the oppositions'. Other wise it's just the opposition winning the ball and kicking goals.

Ah well ok then, I'll indulge you. You wanted to know my point? My point was, if you call a pass to a forward that sets up a goal "semi useful" that tells me all I need to know about your football knowledge and perhaps, to an extent, your intelligence. Hence the lack of reply. Now if you will excuse me I have better things to do than to try and explain to you and your less articulate sycophant why setting up goals is more than "semi useful".

The question is reasonably self explanatory...
