Title: Players best and worst traits
Post by: Stripes on December 14, 2013, 11:15:30 AM
I thought with nothing much going on in the off-season we could have a chat about players strengths and weaknesses. I thought we could start with these guys -

Cotchin
Biggest Strength - Contested ball
Biggest Weakness - Kicking disposal

Riewoldt
Biggest Strength - Creativity
Biggest Weakness - Body Language

Martin
Biggest Strength - Switching play
Biggest Weakness - Endurance

Deledio
Biggest Strength - Run & Carry
Biggest Weakness - Inability to shake a tag

Rance
Biggest Strength - One on one defensive speed
Biggest Weakness - Brain fades

So either add additional players or disagree with my judgements and do your own.   :thumbsup

Honestly what do you think his faults would be??? Had to come up with many imo
do i go here . would it  be worth the hassles. all i will say hes had a very good yr for a first yr player and his strengths out weigh the few weaknesses he does have.
as a footballer he doesnt really have a weakness as an athlete theres a couple.

 weaknesses.
pace real low top end speed imo  and tank are the only real concerns i have. hes not an athletic player.  as a junior i thought he bombed it a bit as well so there was an issue with the way he used it rather than his kicking itself.

strengths
strengths well there are a lot. goes hard, has presence anywhere he plays on the ground, finds plenty of ball hes good in traffic, judges the ball really well in the air hes a leader has a decent kick not elite but its good enough. is one touch on the ground and hes a great size.  great consistency week in week out.
these were a few abbreviated notes   on him in 2012.
i thought him a worthy  pick 12.

Good write up claw.  :cheers

I don't think he bombs the ball any longer. I think he has been coached with the team ethos of looking for a unmanned target. His 30m passes are beautiful. I heard the slight on him pre-draft was his pace but I haven't seen evidence of this either. Perhaps this is because of the role he is playing I don't know. With his strengths I hope that his size continues to remain an asset and he doesn't get too big too early. I think his biggest strength is his attitude.
