Paddy Naish - where is he at?

[Harry]

Used to love watching chris naish swooping on a loose ball and slotting it through. Remember the 95 final against essendon when he snapped to put us in front and the commentators call - "they're in front robbo they're in front". Don't think we've had a more clinical small forward since.

Looking forward to pat making his debut. We can do with a long accurate kick on a wing.

I think it was Bwuce making the call. Wasn't Naishy's goal a snap? (could be wrong)

Chris Naish was an excellent kick for goal, especially on the run or snapping. I was at Kardinia Park the day in 96 when he hit the post (?) on the siren, a goal would have won it for us and broken that hoodoo a decade early.

Mark Merenda really announced himself that day, from memory.

I was there at Kardinia Park that day from Tassie, couldn't believe how much our own heckled Richo that day, it was ordinary !! Then left extremely disappointed when Naish shot missed.

I was there too ;(

Still not in the side another 20 plus game and he must come in.

 

[Tigermad2005]

What more can the kid do?
I love the fact that we have kids getting 20 plus in the two.
Never happened with for a number of years with our drafting.

Ellis and KMac playing well on both wings is keeping him out. Wing is Naish best position.

 

[TigerFlag2017]

No rush on naish i reckon. He is devloping beautifully. Let him bulk up more. 2020 he will burst onto the scene.

 

[Harry]

Has bulked up nicely and is a good size now. Kicking skills are elite. Personally would play him ahead of ellis as he has much more upside but will trust the club with his development

I can't see Bellis sticking around next year. Will probably go to Norf who will pay him $700K for 5 years.

Naish will find a spot easier to come by then.

 

[Harry]

31 possessions in the vfl and in the best few on the day, again.

Lynch can't wait for naishy to deliver some footy to him in the firsts.

 

[craig]

After the crap theyve been dishing up to Tommy gthis season i bet he cant wait.

Can Naishy play ruck if he can hes in ........... ;D

Yeah I was there that day. I think that could have been the last time i went to gardenia park.

 

[Tigermad2005]

Well to the big time son.
Has to get a game this week on back of another 20 plus 3 goal game.

 

[Tigers of Old]

It's time to give this kid a game.
Menadue is yet to establish himself after 38 games over 5 years but some are calling for him to get yet another opportunity.
Surely Patrick deserves one after excellent form this season in the VFL.

Yeah its time.

Give him a wing for 70% of the night and hopefully he finds himself on a Guthrie

Clip of his work here. Reckon Lynch would appreciate that silky slipper.

First goal is exactly what I'm talking about. Waiting out the fat side, 10 metres wider than anyone else. You really think he's going to get that largesse at AFL level? (By the way, he only got that opportunity because Menadue outmarked a ruckman, ran around him, had two bounces while dodging three more bad guys, and found Turner for the cross.)

Second highlight: marks a poor Norf kick, lovely goal.

3: widest man again, receives a handball, has two bounces, handballs even wider to Rioli, follows up, wins a loose ball and hits a lovely centering kick to Silvestro.

4: They didn't show the tackle that won him the free - the bloke fell over and Naish was one of two who didn't have to do much more than hold him. Good kick.

5: Wide again, receives handball, cuts back in incisively, burns the jets and a beautiful kick inside 50. His best play of the day.

6: Wide again, receives handball in D50, hits Graham in 50 metres of space with a 40m kick. Garthwaite can do that.

7: Gets a block from CJ and takes an uncontested mark.

8: Receives handball in space at half-back, lovely weighted 45m kick for Ballard to run onto at CHF.

9: Norf defender shanks a kick straight to him, he slightly over hits the kick to Miller but it's a walk-in goal.

Some nice moments showcasing his class, but nothing compared to what Menadue did against Freo. Nothing contested. Nothing defensive. They didn't show him kick into the man on the mark in D50, stroll after the loose ball, get pushed over like he was a child, and watch Garner kick the goal. They didn't show his half-hearted chases (remember Menadue chasing that Freo bloke for 40 metres and nailing him to seal the game? I don't think Naish has ever done anything like that.)

I'm not bagging him. I'm just presenting evidence as to why he's not ready. If we want to drop an extra bloke I'll be as keen as anyone to see how he goes, but no way does he play in front of Menadue. He's behind him.
