Jayden Post [merged]

[torch]

at Coburg for six weeks and playing at CENTRE HALF FORWARD!

no where else and only one position!

 

[torch]

Struts around like he is a "'movie star"' outside football,
Got way to ahead of himself,.
A month down in the two,s at Coburg will do the trick !

Jayden "Pauly Shore" Post should be his nickname untill he actually gets better!

 

[TigerLand]

He's played 10 games.

That obviously enough to predict he wont make it. Delist him.

exactly poor bastard needs to be able to get a fair run of consecutive games in one position imo...it has been like a carousel for a few blokes and they get judged harshly on it.  This kid has some talent, he just needs to get a fair go.

Second half today for Coburg was better from Postie. At least involving himself in the play albeit going by the tv vision more as a tall mid/wingman than as a strict KPP. Still needs to show more intensity and purpose.

[bojangles17]

tbh I thought he was a better mark than what he has demonstrated...didnt he take like most marks in TAC, sheesh could have fooled me ...I rarely see him clunk a mark when anyone is within spitting distance...Must do a lot more..needs a spell at VFL to really go up a notch before returning to afl level

[crannyvegas]

did a couple of good things today...

Can't wait till he uses his body as the weapon it should be, busting packs and what not.

Post looks good in defence and lost up forward. Should have left him in the team. If he's left in defence he'll quickly learn he has to be urgent becuase he'll get goals kicked on him 

[Ramps]

if he becomes a CHB then that would be a bonus, right now, Im not confident that he'll be a senior player. Has the size and ability- but theres not alot of aggression or passion or anything that gives you confidence that he likes the contest.

[tigerlily]

Post isn't going 100% at the ball everytime or at very least is too reactive. In the couple of games he's played so far this season he's too often looked hesistant expecting someone else to get their first. Hardwick's rule wasn't it that when it's your time to go you go.

I don't blame Postie 100% btw. Club tried to manufacture and pigeon hole him over summer into a KP backman rather than developing his whole game both forward, back and say on a wing. When he finally gets called up a couple of weeks back he's picked as a forward despite spending the previous 4 months solely with the backline group learning their new structures. His confidence looks knocked around. Needs a spell at Coburg to get his hands on the footy.

Forward, back, wing, just like Dean Putt, that worked well, fact is we CAN'T develop talls, Petterson Putt, Hughes, now Rance and Post, you wonder why more mature players like Taylor, Silvagni, Barlow and others have an instant impact, they've been playing 1 position at VFL AND WAFL for 3 or 4 years they actually know what they are doing, we send our young KPPs up and down the ground then have unreal expectations of their capabilities, Post is far to slow to be a key forward,(started the year training with the forwards) needs to be left a CHB at VFL or AFL level and learn that position.
Also 2 years in the gym lifting weights can effect the flexability of talls much more so then mids, Post has a great future if well managed, something we have'nt been good at lately
Our Rucks are also a huge concern in the past 3 years
Putt.......very good 1st year at VFL level, described by Francis Jackson at the end of 2008 as a rd 4 draft gem, delisted in 2009
Vickery...good first year at VFL and ok at AFL level has really struggled to have any impact this year
Browne...good 1st year at VFL level has gone backwards this year, must have given away a dozen kicks in the ruck really stuggling
Graham...good 2008 at VFL level good 2009 at AFL level gone dramaticlaly backwards this year took 1 mark at the 25 min mark of the
             last qtr against Frankston
Looks like a very bad pattern developing

Taylor, Silvagni & Barlow were all mature age recruits, Taylor more than any I think he was 22-23 when he was selected. I was disappointed in Putt's development, however he had no hunger for the contest, was far too timid.
Vickery is developing fine, he's only a 2nd year ruck and is well ahead of schedule, judge him when he's 23 not 19-20
Browne is from the rookie list and also only in his 2nd year, look at how long Sandilands was in the game before he came good, it doesn't happen overnight. He played well on the weekend for Coburg and was named in the bests, so he may not be too far away from replacing Simmonds.
Post played as a forward all last year at AFL level, then trained in defence all preseason, then was selected and played forward. Is now playing down back again for Coburg. He's getting used to a new game plan and is only in his 2nd year. Stop expecting our kpps to be superstars in their 2nd year. Riewoldt was up and down in his first two years and is starting to come good now, even he's still got a couple more years of development left.
Graham may be a lost cause, shame as he played some half decent games last year. Will be lucky to be on the list if he doesn't pull his finger out.

Jack Riewoldt - Best of the piuck of KP's from 2006.  Ahead of Gumbleton, Reid, Brown etc.  All players selected before him.

McGuane - Pick 36.  Will Thursfield - Rookie, Kel Moore - Rookie

Actually we develop talls as well as anybody.  Just got to get enough through the system.

AND BE PATIENT WHILE THEIR BODIES DEVELOP!!!

I don't know how often some people need to be reminded of this

[bojangles17]

post really needs to spend 4-8 weeks at VFL focus on a few areas of his game like contesting, and backing himself to take a grab..before I wanna see him in seniors...

[Mr Magic]

Lack of pace a worry.
