Past Zach Tuohy

[HARKER]

I was going to remark as to how unlucky Twomey was for not being promoted, but someone hasn't fired up their Buddy thread for him.

Seriously though, have we ever had this much quality from our rookies?

Curnow promoted and won't be going back.
Casboult on his way, but injury has intervened.
Tuohy in now and given half a chance has every chance to show something special.
Twomey the senior citizen also has plenty of smarts to suggest there may be good things coming from him.

Cachia, O'Keefe and Dare are hardly wasting space either and their careers could easily head north for the better.

I can't find a dud amongst this lot.

 

[HARKER]

Tuohy is now regularly in the best for the Ants.
Unfortunately though it will take a little bad luck to someone else in order for Tuohy's good luck to occur.

Whichever way, this Irishman will not let us down.

If Laidler isn't fit, I fully expect to see him come into the side this week, tough gig against the Cats though

Yeah very challenging game for a first timer, I would think the MC would blood him on some of the easier opposition we have coming up after Geelong.

CARLTON'S strong season continued in the VFL with a handful of emerging stars piling the selection pressure on Brett Ratten's side two days after it consolidated a top-four position.

Leading the charge is rookie Zach Tuohy, who will feature prominently in Liston Trophy voting given his blistering form this season.

He gathered 27 possessions from half-back and was instrumental in eroding Box Hill's five-goal buffer as the Northern Bullants seized a 13.12 (90) to 12.13 (85) win at Visy Park yesterday.

"Tuohy's in outstanding form. He wins his one-on-ones and had another blinder," Carlton development coach Darren Harris said.

The Irishman could fill injured defender Jeremy Laidler's position for Sunday's duel with Port Adelaide.

The young Irishman is gathering steam and is now not far away from a Senior inclusion.
Barring serious injury Zach will be on our senior list next year and we won't be the poorer for it.

 

[Sin City]

Terrific progress in the short time he's been at Carlton, I think he'll make it. Only query is who comes out of the back line for him.

 

[HARKER]

All the talk is of Tuohy making his debut this coming Sunday.

If Zach does play he will surprise the opposition if they don't know enough about him.
Zach is much quicker than his frame will lead you to believe and any tackle other than a full body grab will not hold Zach.
Extremely strong through the hips and he will run through players if need be.

Zach though is not a great overhead mark nor is he very good around his feet just yet.
All considered, he has adapted to this game very well to date and at this rate should iron out the above downfalls soon enough

 

[Salaryman]

He can roost the sherrin too.....can't believe his foot skills for a convert

Those thighs could launch a space shuttle.

There may just be another good story behind this Irishman.
Having said that, the Brisbane lad is currently doing OK also.

[Blue Dawn]

Very excited about Zac's debut. Really think this guy could be a keeper.

Strong with an elite kick i can't wit to see how his decision-making stacks up in the heat of battle.

Carn de Irish!

 

[Silvagnis]

Can't kick.

 

[zeeCFC]

Bloody brilliant!

Very nice kick on him and he seemed quite confident and was shepherding and doing the defensive things well.

 

[thylacine60]

Loved his first touch, a BOING over his shoulder. Thought he settled pretty well. Really hope he stays in for the Lions game. Well done, young man.

 

[Sin City]

Really hope they keep him in for a while, shown already his kicking could be a real weapon for us. Will only get better with more opportunity.

1000 bounces over the weekend and Tuohy hits a divot with his first touch.
Great to see his team-mates come to his aid.

The coaches would have been happy with what they saw from Zach for the short time he had.
Good spoiling and nice kicking.

Good for you Zach.

Love Robbo's reaction to his fumble.

Great to see Zac take on the man on the mark and get around him like someone who grew up playing AFL.

 

[HARKER]

Zach was just so embarrassed after that bounce that I felt sorry for him.
I'm sure a still will front up somewhere just to extend the poor guys embarrassment further.

The move was a good one though and with his power kick, who knows?
Could have just been a goal with his first, but instead...............

hahahah wtf are you talking about! the best wet tshirt contest here is a no tshirt contest.

this will suffice for now.
nomnomnom

 

[Blueboys7]

Only a few touches but hard to come into a game like that especially in your debut. TBH I hate the idea of debuting players as a sub, it's just not the best idea IMO.

They need to work into the game from the start, not be chucked into an intense game and have to pick up the speed from the get go. It just builds up any tension 10 fold for the player.

Loved his 50m kick out of the defensive 50 that hit it's target.
