not long in from the game. wont be many comments on anyone but i have to say i thought our talls in general had poor nights. what was bitterly disappointing was the overall skill level. and that applies equally to both sides.
was behind the goals at the city end with the cheer squad and made a good night of it.
on vickery just quickly and i watched him fairly closely for a bit i still think he plays without intensity and aggresion. even his first contested mark and goal lacked aggression if that is possible to understand. he had an opportunity to really hit the pack hard but in the end reached up and plucked the ball out of others hands'
he kicked 3 took some decent marks so i suppose he did his job. still i have to say i really dont see the love for this bloke.
LMAO what a toss, what would you give him out of 10 for last night, a 2?
who you calling a toss poo for brains. see it really is easy to bad mouth people .
what i dont understand is how you get away with it constantly.from now on i think i might start every post with what a fool or what a toss bet it doesnt take long to get pulled up.
now what have i said above? basically he had an okay game he kicked 3 goals and took a few 2 good marks. he also had a go most of the time. did a lot right but still did plenty wrong.
i also said despite him doing the job expected of him i dont see the love for him or dont rate him, god forbid lets not rate one of the favorites eh.
for what its worth id give him about 6.5 - 7 for his game.
Claw, what were the plenty of things he did wrong? Obvious blunder of a kick and his rucking was sub par at first but IMO he picked it up later on. Apart from that what else did he do wrong in your opinion? No offence but please try and keep it simple at to the point, try using dot points instead of paragraphs for each one
his ruck work in general is sub par.
what remains a constant is the lack of aggresion at the ball. the lack of work ethic and gut running fair dinkum hes lazy. and simply put for a player who is released into the midfield usually against a young player he just doesnt get enough ball and failing that impact enough contests. how many blocks shepherds or just running to create an option do you see from him. how many second efforts or even third efforts do you see. very few is the answer.
his game was passable but take two sliding door moments out of his game, that is the two contested marks and goals that came from them, what is left? in his defense he took those marks and a couple of others. he kicked 3 goals and his effort was significantly better than it has been he did have a dip.
i dunno a lot of posters keep on coming back and having a go at me over him. maybe i am too harsh.
have to say like all of you i see the potential in him but for me the performances dont back up that potential.
the one thing i will say in fairness to all the forwards the way we bought the ball in made hard for all of them. but the flip side to that is the lack of forward movement gave the mids few options.
the mark he took in the last q and goaled the bloke next to me turned around and said why doesnt he attack the ball like that all the time. im asking the same sort of things.
most are talking up his game but fair dinkum that is the bare minimum id expect from him or any other kpp we play.
