Welcome Tyler Sonsie

[grumpytiger]

Good to see some rational comments offsetting the weekly post-game pile on.

 

[The Mole]

Tyler has played just 17 games. He has been put in starvation corner as a small forward when he is clearly a midfielder. As for his kicking, he is a beautiful kick both feet and rarely wastes it. I encourage you to watch him closely live. I just hope he gets his chance as a midfielder.

Needs to be able to win his own ball if he wants midfield minutes.

It's a problem we have -- the guys who can win their own ball can't kick it, and the guys who can kick it can't win their own ball.

He might have good skills but doesnt look like he has the strength to play in the middle at the moment. Needs to hit the gym.
Mcauliffe has already gone past him.

 

[The Mole]

Just a comparison - Josh Daicos and Sonsie at the same age.

 

[Sintiger]

I encourage you to watch him closely live. I just hope he gets his chance as a midfielder.

This is the thing mole, when you see these guys live (especially when you are close to them) you get a different perspective. I have watched him closely this year in 4-5 live games and he is actually a very good distributor and every now and again you see this little bit of extra time good players seem to have.
I also would like to see him play more time as a mid.

Was played as a midfielder against the Dogs and had 9 contested possessions out of 17. Didn't use it well that night but this belief that he can't win his own ball is a myth.

 

[tigertime2]

He is very weak in his core strength, unlike Daicos who has exceptional core strength.

Only young so can build core strength over a 3 to 4 year period.

 

[Redford]

Sonz’s kicking efficiency is 55% this year.

 

[Merveille]

Sonz’s kicking efficiency is 55% this year.

Judging by his shot at goal confidence has fallen away with his kicking

 

[bigwow]

He has found some footy tonight, and a bit stiff to hit the post twice.
Set shot miss a shocker though.

 

[Coburgtiger]

Sonsie just needs confidence. When he feels like he has a spot at the level, he will be very useful.

 

[MalenyTiger]

He's getting to the right spots and created a few opportunities for others. If he'd kicked straight he'd have 3 goals and we'd be singing his praises.

 

[ToraToraTora]

I still think we have a player here. This is the next project after Dow.

 

[craig]

Still needs to do and show more.

 

[craig]

The comedy capers are starting to kill us now.

 

[Tigers2011]

For a player with supposed foot skills, makes too many errors. Plus not hard enough at the ball for me.

If we're not getting to him till after Dow we might be waiting a while!

Sad to say, but what a nothing footballer… his draft drop was clearly warranted
