get a kick ffs!

 

[Sector 7G]

A lot of hype around this kids kicking and his speed, why has he never really been on a clubs radar until now, then? An elite kick with speed is every clubs wet dream

TAC cup can be very political. Coaches form opinions on players that they often don't want to change, playing players they thing might make it in the AFL. Plenty of kids slip through the cracks.

Also only takes an injury at the wrong time if you are down it the pecking order.

 

[Just Kreuzing]

And about to go back to being a small forward?

Surely not, hopefully he continues to develop in the role SPS hasn’t taken which allows Stocker midfield opportunities down the track.

100%, there is common misconception that recruiters and coaches by and large know what they are doing, and make sound calls.

Welcome Jordan!

Welcome Jordan!

If Weiters wasn't a lock for the next 10 years, I'd give Jordan #23

Like the sound calls that the club thought Shane Rogers and Wayne Hughes were making for all those years, and dare I say more recently “Bambi”.

Not sure what our dreams have entailed previously but they certainly haven’t had an eye on the premium disposal type.

Pretty fair wrap from his coach at Spotswood

Re Boyd....I noticed in the short highlights on our team website his long kicking to a teammate was precise (Centermetre perfect). And yes, I agree, Harry would love him sticking the ball on his chest on his every lead. Hope Boyd is capable of getting a lot of disposals, as he'll be an asset to our side with his kicking skills seeming to be outstanding.

Jordan, wing half back, raking kick, Carlton and Footscray list...hopefully the fans take to him better than they did Jordan Russell.

Good Jordy was good. Bad Jordy was um.........

We've got him earmarked as a high half-forward who can make precision delivery inside forward 50. Which TBH is something that we desperately need.

Better get our forwards to lead then, not many do.

For the young people out there, Spotswood was an early 1990s Australian film starring Anthony Hopkins.

And a fine film it was too. Alwyn Kurts was brilliant.

 

[mediumsizered]

Either a defender we're going to play forward, or a forward we'll use in defence.
Only certainty is he'll be played out of position.

Fortunately he has done both at Footscray, so he won't miss a beat.

That was uncalled for. Russell is s**t.

Thing is he doesn’t need whole lot of disposals to really influence a game if his disposals are as peachy as his highlights.
Kicking is the most important asset a player can have ide rather 15/18 great disposals compared to 36 with ten shockers

 

[branedotorg]

That and not being on an AFL list

It's the only thing stopping me too

You know he reads BF?

 

[goreds]

Well, that's different then. If he's transitioning into a genuine small defender with pace, I'm all for it. When was the last time we had someone who could play on the quick small forwards in a close checking capacity? Won't have to play Plowman on them.

Is that edit ok????

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Each to their own. I think Plowman is a decent footballer who has trouble finding a good match up for him. I'd like to see him try other positions, even if just in the VFL.

If our midfield improves in the mean time, he will look a million dollars down back.

 

[BlueGum]

Welcome Jordan. Look forward to finding out where we play you. Run hard. Kick well.

Totally agree...

For the record, what he got rubbed out for could well be the catalyst for him to build on. It made me take notice and changed my opinion of him. Thats what he needs to bring every week...

 

[Mr_Plow]

Plowman brings intensity every week, it's just that his teammates are often ******* deplorable.
