I have an inherent distrust of people with a christian name that could double as a surname, likewise in reverse. Jackson Nelson is in the unfortunate position of being a double double.

However, since he's now a member of my beloved fitba club, I'm willing to concede that, in this instance, two wrongs make a right.

Welcome to the club 'Son Son' (the new, improved version).

He does 2 kicks off his right in that entire 3.30 video. One of them is a 15m chip pass.

They were bloody impressive kicks for a natural left footer, especially the 40m goal on a 45 degree angle. A left footer choosing to use his right is a rare sight. FWIW Twomey was another who raved about how dual-sided Duggan was months ago.

Wow, well that three and a half minute footage which would equate to 0.00000000001% of his football career to date proves your point then.

We should disregard all other footage and the opinions of his coaches and others who have been watching him play for years as irrelevant and jump on board Dark Sharks negative appraisal of Duggan because we didn't pick the player DS preferred.

Go read the article on Cackatoo on the AFL site, he thought he was coming to the Eagles at pick 11. That should make your day.

Compared to the totally clued in people on this board saying things like "he has a beautiful right foot kick.." "elite disposal off both feet" etc etc?

I don't think anybody is in a position to be saying those things when like i've said.... there is 2 right footed kicks to base this on. I'm not saying he doesn't have good footskills or is bad off his right, i'm saying that i don't think anybody knows and are just stating random shit.

Meh, couldn't care less about Cockatoo himself. But i've made my disappointment clear we didn't draft a speedy midfielder (Laverde, Weller, ****) with our first pick. That's about it.

Haha mate it is pretty bloody arrogant to suggest Twomey knows less or as little as you do about Duggan. There is plenty of footage about Duggan not just in that video aswell.

I never mentioned Twomey.... i'm talking about people on here.

"In terms of his strengths, his intensity and repeat efforts are a stand out. His work rate is massive, and he is vocal and leads by example out on the field. nelson isn’t afraid to put his body on the line, and his tackling pressure is trait that really sounds out his defensive capabilities, averaging a whopping 6.2 tackles per game at TAC Cup level this year."

Bit old if you ask me.

also quite mature for a 44 yr. old

 

[SpaceClef]

A genuine dual sided footballer if you watch this

http://www.afl.com.au/video?guid=706691

To be honest I almost think I like Nelson's highlights package the most out of all of our draftees.

Just seems to do everything well. One moment in that package where he rips the contested ball away from an opponent and shoots out a 30m handball to advantage - it looked damn impressive.

Marks and tackles well, dual footed, has a quick couple of steps and seems to relish the tough stuff.

Looks solid as hell

 

[SpaceClef]

You can see why keyboard warriors get confuse.

Paige says Weaknesses: Speed
Falcs Manager says: Seriously quick

What the...

I reckon he probably lacks the high top speed that is in vogue for attacking half backs, but has decent acceleration away from stoppages. Perfect future inside mid

Looks solid as hell

I don't believe in hell, and if I did I'm not sure it would be solid. Can you come up with a more appropriate simile, please?

Looks solid as...

Fellow midfielder Jackson Nelson was in awe of his new teammate Priddis.

"The other day at training when he's running past you it's like ‘wow, you are at the top level now,’" Nelson said.

OH no. They're all going to emulate his terrible kicking and turnovers. Arghhh

 

[Prem87]

Love that he sees himself as a midfielder and played it most of this season. Exciting prospect with great footskills.

Peter Jackson

 

[Bestbird]

Like the look of him. Hard at the ball and takes the game on, should start in defence with a chance to transition into the midfield

 

[Prem87]

Has taken over Peter Matera's old number - 30.

We must rate him highly!

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

So Nelson is a big bodied inside mid with exceptional kicking skills on both sides , great over head mark and a tackling machine .
So why did he slide to 51 ?
