Groupie_ heavy weekend on the piss?

 

[Stylo]

He's improved just about every season in his career. He'll be Shaun Burgoyne MKII by the time he's 29

Groupie_ heavy weekend on the piss?

nah the exact opposite actually

 

[rideclutch]

He's putting it all together now, talent was never in question.

Would need him to hold a similar level all season if we're gonna be any sort of finals threat this year.

Remember when Santa wanted titch delisted every second post was how shit he
was lmao

I came into this thread to post the same thing. "The only club where shit players like, Shane Edwards, Matt White and Daniel Jackson would get a game is Richmond, where we love mediocrity" <insert 3 pages of pretentious dribble, repeating the same belabored point>.

did blokes on here used to rate him as a spud or something? I dont know as i wasnt here then.

Not so much a spud, but he was uber inconsistent, did some shocking turnovers and went missing for significant portions of the game.
Eg watch the last minute of the Bulldogs game last year. We were up, had the ball on our f50 and Titch did exactly the same as in that clip above. Except on that occasion handballed it straight to the Dogs who ran it down the ground to Gia, goal, game over.

But the back end of last year really grew in confidence and the rest is history. Great work from the development coaches, and senior coach to facilitate Titch's improvement. He is crucial to us now and creates goals out of nothing. eg KMacs first goal last night was direct result of Titch's brilliance. Does it regularly now.

He is one of the craftiest and creative players in the game. He sees plays/potential plays unfold before most players.

His indigenous genes allow him greater peripheral vision. Makes you wonder why we can't get another indigenous small forward to complement him and the team.

Ahhhh Relton what might have been....

Haha that reminds me, I was laughing at Nick Kommer a few years back and telling my Essendon supporting mate that he's the worst player in the league. His comeback was that Jackson is miles worse. DJ then went on to win our b&f that year when we finished 5th. I enjoyed telling him that. He not so much.

That's a great comparison. Only 6 months older then Cyril, doesn't have Rioli's pace or tackling ability but better then Rioli in a lot of other areas.

He actually pretty fast but doesn't use it often enough.

 

[Johny boy 13]

I'll dip my hat to shane Edwards is coming of age...important player and borderline if not elite...Somthing in the water down at punt road seeing genuine guns coming out of the wood works...it's really good like really good...

 

[no orange peeler]

Funny 12 -18 months ago there were plenty here that had him on the #duddelist list. Always has had elite hands...always rated him

Needs more spelling mistakes

 

[sante]

Consistency was the thing a lot of people brought up that he needed to improve but he's definitely become a consistent performer now and one we need to be involved in as often as possible to play well

 

[TJTIGER]

Best hands and evasiveness in the side by far.

Yep dat side step as he dances around oppositions.....

 

[TJTIGER]

He is one of the craftiest and creative players in the game. He sees plays/potential plays unfold before most players.

Between him & Jack in the crafty/creative stakes, love em both....

What we need is others too follow suit.

Ahhhh Relton what might have been....

Or Troy if you just settled for a Townhouse and not a 2 storey mansion.

 

[Gentlemen]

Still can't stand when he's kicking (unless it's at goal) but always had a soft spot for sheds. Amazing with his hands and overhead marking.
