Round 5 V Williamstown

[BillyJean17]

Just on RCD, once again his handball to kick ratio was 2 to 1, (6 kicks 12 handballs), it replicated his stats from last week. Will be a much more damaging player if he can even up those numbers somewhat, 6 kicks a game is just too low.

thats generally a bit of a belief factor , baker handballed last last year , now he uses his wheels on gets it on the boot . Cripps handballs a lot fwiw

Patty Cripps and Nat Fyfe probably had similar ratios early on too... Once he builds the strength to burst away from contested situations is when we’ll see that ratio balance out.

CRips this year
Avg 11k 18hb
Tom Mitchell usually similar , personally I prefer kickers as they’ll generally hurt the oppo more , it’s my slight knock on Cripps

What does Naishy have to do in order to get a game? End the farce

I don’t care if he handballs it, kicks it or headbutts it... if he can win a clearance - get him in!!

On Fly's post game interview at about 50 seconds some one took a hanger, was that Miller?

Good to see Egg and Turner get good numbers again.

No that was Paty Naish

 

[Tigers of Old]

I know there's a big push on for Naish but from what I have seen Egg seems to have more game. I'd like to see him at AFL level.

 

[Tiger Pops]

have not see much VFL this year Egg must have come on leaps and bounds, he was very ordinary in the 2018 finals....did not look VFL standard 8-9 months back.

I like the look of ES, a calm smooth player with a lovely left foot. Hope he makes it.

1 egg doth not an ommlette make.

Great news on Naishy.

Sounds like the forward line may be temporarily renamed

From The Lynch Mob,

To The Institute of Performing Aarts?

Im yet to see Naishy play, but have Lachy Whitfield as my goal. Fair?

Thanks caesar, i see on the same clip he took another strong mark on the back flank. Overhead marking is a good string to have to his bow, he must be close to debuting.

Yes it's his calmness that I really noticed.

Apologies tigerman, i didn't realize there were 2 good marks featured in the package. The first one wasn't Naish the 2nd was.

Unclear who took the first one, looks a bit like Towner and I do remember him taking a good mark not sure if that was it?

Tiger-Pops, were you aware that Derek virtually missed the entire season in 2018 due to Shin-Splints and could not do any training loads. In fact he played the last 2 games only leading into the finals, (that is only 4 games total). Deserves not to be judged at all on what he did last year.

 

[Giardiasis]

Surely they could have found better footage of the Egg's his highlights on the Fly interview vid!

 

[taztiger4]

I went along yesterday with Caesar 7 neither of us were confident but what a great day we had

As an aside, The umpiring is consistent as we were royally screwed as is generally the case @ AFL level

# 27 especially was either grossly incompetent or ................

First one looked like CJ to me. If not him, Miller, but history says far more likely to have been CJ.

I think it's one of CCJ and Miller, initially i thought it was Miller, but that's probably me hoping it was him. It was good to read Fly's report on Miller, “Played his best game for the season. His eight contested possessions was a feature, and his aerial work really stood-out."

Miller's aerial work was the most pleasing aspect as that is where i have/had my biggest doubts and were starting to believe he was average in this area rather than just lacking confidence. Jury still out but promising signs.
