Was doing well until they moved balta into the ruck then started to get blocked in the contest .

Welcome Tylar Young
- Thread starter Berwick boy
- Start date
He is still learning the game but his progress has been very good.
Alot of people are saying he is doing well.
Is he really or are we being nice.
I saw him today he was as bad a Miller

He was poor today. Shouldn’t have been on King but even so was sub-standard. Kick across goal was woeful but he had no defensive tricks to stop King.
Good temperament under pressure. That's the long-term takeaway from today.
At just 30 total games in the sport, he'll improve rapidly while also making mistakes in unfamiliar situations
It'll be a different story if he's making the same mistakes every week, but so far he's not.

King got his goals mainly from our mistakes (mis kicks or free kicks!) Tylar was alright, gave away a few silly free kicks and that terrible turnover in the back half but hey, our other defenders cough up goals like that every week! He had 8 intercepts so is improving in that aspect of his game, as well as offensively. Can only help continuing to get games into him
So was most of the other defenders with only Short and Rioli showing up to play
Don’t think it would do him any harm to have a month back in the magoos to re set
Last two weeks have been poor. A swap with Biggy or Bauer looms.
Not sure what the excitement was about, I am just seeing a taller but less mobile version of Ryan Garthwaite....too dour, too defensive, too robotic, too slow up top.
I am rapt with Tyler Young's progression this year, including yesterday.
Came from nowhere pre-season and is now a lock for a key backman role - remarkable.
Yes he made a glaring error yesterday but not many of his team mates covered themselves in glory, bar a few notable exceptions.
That clanger in no way diminishes his enormous output so far this year imho.
Needs to iron out a few wrinkles (hand on opponents shoulder) but has been a shining light of our up and comers.
Is the future and must be played every week from now on.

Can't agree.
Miller cannot seem to get forward traction on his career, somewhat hindered by Match Committee's incessant chopping and changing of his roles.
Having said that, his lack of physical presence and contest awareness is RCD-like.
Allowed Witts to stroll away from a centre contest yesterday, and let him slip a pathetic tackle in another instance, both of which were poor.
He has the tools but a lack of belief and confidence.
Needs 20 Red Bulls before he runs out, or a pre-game slap around like Samson asks for.
Tyler is going well given his lack of footy experience.
Seems likely to be able to take up the Dave Astbury role.
Miller needs to grasp his opportunity asap or the club will give the other rookie talls a crack.
Had a quick look at some stats.. his contested defensive loss % for a first year player (albeit a mature one) is just incredible. Has had 24 one on one contests and only lost 3, and is in some high quality company with that percentage. Also, to go along with 54 spoils (9 per game). Yes he has made some errors at times with disposal and free kicks against but he’s certainly not alone with that! If he can keep up this really good defensive work and add some more intercepting to his game he will be an absolute star. Hope he’s back this week
