Can't claim that gem.

Given the time, that can hardly be a surprise.

It annoys me that i've been agreeing with you alot recently. [emoji41]

You were bound to start being right eventually.

Seems to have the focus and desire to go with the talent. That's the combination that makes players elite. Could easily be the best player from 2016 draft. Convinced we are looking at someone very special

All are special but some are more special than others.

Quigley's SPS Assessment.

As already mentioned SPS is explosive over the first couple of steps and generally his straight line speed is good. Not elite, but he is not getting run down by a lot of people. In tight I think he is very deceptive. He does not appear terribly elusive but he is very difficult to tackle. He has a nice little body swerve that not many opponents can read and a go-to spin move which gets him in and out of trouble nicely. He is a well-balanced player and has the ability to go left or right at any time and does not seem to telegraph where he is going to go.

Quigley expressed this better than I did.
Saw SPS seemingly stroll out of tight situations on Wednesday and that also shows up on his highlight reels.
Some players get nervous when an opponent is within a couple of metres of them, yet SPS can function needing only centimetres.
You think he's going to get caught but a little swivel here, a side-step there and he's out.

Here's JGM's smother #3
Doesn't look like much here but it was as much a highlight as any mark...to me.

Love it!!!

Did you see that play in training where the ball was handballed about a metre behind him in congestion but he stuck a mit out and took in one grab and got just far out enough of trouble with speed before giving it off with precision? That one handed grab then burst was Yarran like and the turn and give was something you see Sam Mitchell do.

Players were giving him specifically a lot of instruction so even though they rate him highly we still have to be somewhat patient as he's learning what could be a complicated game style. Noticed LeBois played on in one drill when three other senior players yelled "HOLD IT UP, HOLD IT"...but just quietly, I preferred the play on.

Just had a look at players' profiles.
We now have:


Charlie Curnow......was 191 now 194...........Charlie is not 194. 192/3......not 194
Sam Docherty.......was 184 now 187............Sam has not grown 3 cm.
Lach Plowman.......still at 191.....................Plowman is 193/4................not 191
Levi Casboult........was 199 now 201...........Really? Grown 2 cm at 26?
Andrew Phillips......was 201 now 203...........Really?
Glass- MacCasker..was 198 now 195...........Jesse has shrunk? Is that even possible?

 

[thylacine60]

things aren't looking as bright for Zac

Do we have the "resources" to coach some height?

 

[thylacine60]

Pay that.

Please refer this matter to the appropriate authority ... TheSheik , for his perusal .

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

I don't know if Charlie is being trained through the middle, but somehow it doesn't feel that way to me.

I can see Charlie as a KPF and not a Gunston-type or third tall. We already have Silvgani there, for that.


EDIT: What TW said a moment before me. Charlie plays taller than his ~193 and will run most back-men into the ground.

Roo is only 193cm. Seems a natural comparison given Charlie's tank.

 

[zeeCFC]

He's a good enough contested mark to be a KPP but I thought he had the most success last year when he was higher up the ground.

With his athleticism and size I'd show him tape after tape of J Roughead.

 

[Soapy V]

So far Charlie is a cross between Roughead Kouta N.Reiwoldt & Fyfe. Should be a very handy player.

 

[thylacine60]

bloody hell - quit writing that shit - I'm stuck in a cafe and the dunny is engaged........

 

[Lace_Out]

No need to shit yourself, he's on our side.

Any word on C.Sheehan? Injury free?

Flying

Flying

Deadset? Injury Free and looking good?!

Just what I want to hear, have been waiting for this guy to come on for a while. This year will be his last crack I'd imagine, Byrne is going to be a great player so Sheehan really needs to show something if he wants the next 5 years off HBF.

 

[zeeCFC]

Not flying in that he stands out but he's been fit for a while now and there's a spot wide open for him.

Still looks as polished as ever but can't wait to see him in a game again.

Nope. He's flying. Saw a photo. Absolutely flying and favourite for the B&F. So much so he collided with the drone. Read it in the Herald Sun so it must be true.



PS In reality traing well and injury free. Just another positive for us.

 

[FRROST]

Get Innnn!

 

[thylacine60]

Another cool note, club filmed the session from a drone flying above the ground for an hour and a half.

How much clearance did the drone keep when flying above A. Walker?
