A bit chippy mate?
Passive aggressive?
Absolutely spot on his disposal especially first half was atrocious what the hell do we see in him so outside and all that that implies.
On another site people almost to a man were scathing of him. Some even suggested we only keep him so we can f/s his brother which is nonsense of course.
Still cannot understand why RCD is not getting games either. while he did have a few quite patches i though he was very good.To my thinking he is at a stage where he needs to develop in the one's.
People also need to remember Parker has been playing WAFL so its not as if he has had a prolonged break. How much more did he offer than Rioli and how much better than Castagna as well.
Would not hesitate to play Parker and Stack in place of those two.
Agree Naish disposal was poor. His main issue to me, is that he tries all the bloody time to kick the spectacular pass and it more often then not shits the bed. It's a huge concern as he cant seem to get it through his head, that the safe reliable option is the better option at his level. If the did that he would be playing more seniors because his positives of the game was his defensive positioning, he got 10 marks in the back 50 and his link up run was fantastic. He has potential but I fear he does not have the footy brain to realise he is not playing juniors and fancy sh*t at his level wont cut it.
The funny thing was that the free kick count was 17-16 at a stage. Suddenly it goes to 31-22.Just the 31 free kicks to Williamstown.
I honestly don't see how anyone can write this - he had over 20 kicks & i really didn't notice any of them outside of the I50 in the 2nd (from memory) being a howler. What other kicks were terrible?
Yeah and no suspension lol Tobby also punches in the guts off the ball with no problems. Hate to see our players doing those things. Selwood punched Bont in the head whilst on the ground with no problems. Overall I'm convinced Geelong are the new Collingwood Flavours of the AFL.Would be cool to bring in Matty, or Garth, to the senior side to take out Selwood one day.
"I'd like to see that."
What a filthy grub of a player.
Two eye gouging incidents and stomping a player on the ground.
What a dog.
Yeah me neither was MOM for me. People raving about RCD efforts which were ok this kid done three times as much.I honestly don't see how anyone can write this - he had over 20 kicks & i really didn't notice any of them outside of the I50 in the 2nd (from memory) being a howler. What other kicks were terrible?
he was trying his butt off
Played half back all game and was pretty good. Like Vlas as you mention, he is not one of your rebounding defenders but was strong over the ball, composed and used it well. Along with Mansell, Stack and Naish we were pretty good across the half back line. We were pretty undersized and Willy are a very physically strong unit.Missed the game, where did jack ross play? (Saw he was named HB, thinking oerhaps with his lack of pace it might be HB or bust for him. Maybe a Vlas style mid sized HB).
Aldo, how did Stack go? Has had enough time to get match fit now, so hoping he played well and can push for a senior spot.
Yeah trueWe are a weird mob.
According to this thread Naish should be dropped from the VFL side but also picked in the AFL side!!!
Dimma will love this guy, 110% attack on the ball/contest.he was trying his butt off
he'd need to calm a tad to show his best, but 1st game in a new side , mid season
to my eye , that was a good performance , looks above VFL
the willingness to tackle is a great sign

Thought Naishy was terrible first halfTiger supporters always eat up our players, just look at our game day threads, if we start poorly, its dud, slow, hack, etc etc, then when we win its like they never posted those things, would not surprised me other sites do the same thing lol.

Miller had a defenders game today, was solid and reliable
Pickett wanted to play with his mate and it was good to see him get a run
The potential in Ryan is something to be excited about. He has a natural agility and the ability even as his size to get the ground ball. He has the natural aggression that all good players need that you cant train into a player, he just has it. He needs to build into his frame and work out how to use it. His tank needs a lot of work too but he rucked all day so it shows he can work through a game under duress. Really positive signs.
Considering Parker has only had 2 training sessions so our game plan and ball movement is completely foreign to him, I was impressed. His first option was to move the ball forward, even if into space. He showed me that instinctively he should slot into our game plan pretty easily with a little more training. He is a very decent size, good mark and has a bit of toe about him. I liked what I saw and he gives us some mature depth.
Stacks is just working into his fitness. Did some nice things, some shockers and his kicking is like a shot gun, spray and pray BUT he is working his ass off. Credit to the kid
That is how naish playsWe are a weird mob.

Yep.Sampson had a few chances in the last to clunk a mark.(Strong part of his game).Should have won that...
Has that Pickett 19 feel about it.Parker 20 touches…10 tackles great first up game
Mansell was great in the 2nd half.Thought Stack and Mansell were both really good down back, particularly in the second half.
I think we should settle Stack down back from now on. He provides great drive and shuts his man down.
His tap work was brilliant.Serious??? Must have been watching a different game.
Yep gave away a few frees but his ruckwork was very good imo. If he had the tank to play there all day, we would have won comfortably.
Needs to just hold his marks too, but that’ll come when his strength builds.
I was impressed with him myself
