Player Watch #12 Angus Sheldrick

[caesar88]

After today, “it’s now or never”

I think he'd be ideal for the role he'd very likely end up in if he were to be in the seniors - sort of rotating in between forward and midfield.

I don't love his work in the contest. I think it's very messy and his clearances and hard ball wins are mostly ineffective for an inside mid.

In general play I like him. I think he moves well and sets up plays nicely.

If he were to play in the senior side and we can avoid him being in too many contested scenarios, then I think he'd be a net positive on a few of the guys we've tried in that role this year.

 

[The King!]

Yeah Ladhams plays well at the VFL.

Cool your jets

Good he played well for sure, but Cleary has shown form,

How can you be in the senior side and avoid being in too many contested scenarios? and then be a net positive?
Inside is contested.
Unsure of the role you have him specified for as an inside mid.

I guess my point is I'm not convinced that I'd want him on the inside. He looks better on the outside to me.

Must be watching this crap as he languishes in the VFL wondering where he’s going to live in Perth.

 

[Dubai Quacker]

I’m going to go all bedford here & bring it back on topic

36 disposals & played very, very well in the VFL today.

Gus is back.

 

[Dk007]

It's time horse.

 

[MF]

It's time horse.

I don't blame the coaches for not rushing a kid who's had an injury hampered season back into the side but I think you're right. Surely at least gets a run as sub to see what he offers

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

Is it really happening ? If not this week then for sure against the Crows ?

 

[Wazowski]

Nah can't pick Sheldrick at this stage. What if he plays well and then when Juzzy & Paps are back horse would have to drop one of his faves.

Won't happen.

Gus isn't in the Horse favourites list at present.

Looking like trade bate ATM.

[Wazowski]

Any chance of a game this week?

 

[tombomb]

Thursday team selection.

 

[Callipygian]

I'm hoping they rest a few and he comes in. Really deserves it.

Can't see him holding his spot come finals though barring more injuries. (Washing my mouth out as I type.)

I can't see Gus playing ruck for Pies.

 

[Kbroome]

Just so annoying to not watch him out there at all this year considering most thought he would start at some point but continually spent 5 strong weeks in the twos before proceeding to get injured

 

[JackHiscoxWasFast]

It’s now or never

Could be the answer to first quarters - as he gets his hands on the ball a lot. What’s the harm in giving him a go ?

Blue vest says no.

 

[monopoly19]

Does the blue vest ever lie?

Fox and Corey also in blue, but Caiden in red.

Id reckon it has at least a 90% hit rate so not a straight yes or no but highly unlikely he plays

With all due respect Elvis, how is it now or never?

We'll have all of our midfield stocks available (presumably Chad Warner is right to play?) so anyone coming in will need to be able to play forward as well - as Cleary did last week, as Campbell did last week, as Adams and Parker have shown they can.

I like Sheldrick but I don't think Horse is as sold on him in that forward/midfield role as he is on others.

Agree with this because a simple change could happen if they want Chad Warner to have more uncontested possessions next season and move him up forward and that would imo open up a pure midfield role and reckon Gus could replace say Adams. I think it definitely not over for Gus just disappointing to see him miss out

How about the role where a player wins the ball in the middle of the ground in the first quarter.

The role where we have been getting absolutely slaughtered nearly all year.

First quarters have been a team-wide issue all year. One player in one role isn't going to make a difference.

And if it does then everyone else should be delisted.
