Tutt's greatest flaw is his effort and fitness, if he didn't make it to so many contests he wouldn't have so many chances to panic with the ball

Mezz, were there any stats with respect to the percentage of Tutt's handballs/kicks that ended up with a teammate? His disposal is SHITE.

I think he's saying that Tutt's strength is also his weakness...

I can't be arsed going through the whole team's numbers but his disposal efficiency was on par with Cripps and Boekhorst and slightly higher than Murphy's. I get that people remember his howlers - and he had a few - but he also did some good work. His numbers really improved across the board after establishing himself in the side at the midpoint of the season.
This year being in possession of the ball was often a poisoned chalice for Carlton players, particularly if you took possession somewhere around the wing & looked inside F50 only to see a couple of opponents & no Navy Blue jumpers within cooee. It makes you wonder if our players were scared of being off-side.
You people should stop beating yourself up over those players you don't rate.

As opposed to arguing over cartoons that were old when colour TVs were first sold?
I see. I think.

Actually don't mind Tutt. Cost nothing and at worst is depth. He doesn't end up being 1 less player on the field as he gets to a lot of contests. Unlike Jones.
The problem I do have with him is the MC giving games to him instead of a Holman or other younger players that are just as good already and will probably be better with more experience.

53 percent of the 76 percent of people that think 80 percent of stats are only 11 percent accurate are right only 43 percent of the time .... stats don't always tell the whole story. In my view, he's a good tryer, he has a crack, but unfortunately he doesn't quite seem up to the level.
Fair enough. There'd be a qualitative distinction in the case of Murph and Crippa though - a lot of their disposals are under intense pressure when they've just won a contested ball. Tutt, over and over, burnt the ball when he was free and clear and kicking under no pressure. I'll concede he did improve somewhat as the season progressed. Missed some sitter goals too.

He was hardly Robinson Crusoe there, sadly. I'm going to hold off judging him for another 12 months - another preseason and an extra 12 months getting to know his team mates quirks may see some solid improvements from him.

You take that back.As opposed to arguing over cartoons that were old when colour TVs were first sold?
You're more generous than me. Fingers crossed his confidence grows and his disposal improves. I fear Mick's desperation to recruit more run has seen us lumped with Jordan Russell 2.0.

Oh. I actually liked Jordan Russell.....
Me too.
I laughed when the pies took him off our hands (for a pick in the 900s that we didn't use). What was it - about 5 games in black and white before they realised that his panicking under pressure wasn't gonna change and they never picked him again.

A foot fracture in round nine and a broken toe on return didn't help his cause.

I actually like Kerridge, if guys like Wright and MacKay didn't have something over the selection committee, he'd be playing every week. Play him half forward. Will easily be in our best 22 which is just sad. We'll come good. #faithinSOS well........until Thursday at least.
And the rest of his entire career? (bar perhaps 3 games against Port).
Anyhoo, i hope to god that SOS prioritises footskills higher than Wayne Hughes amd Shane Rogers did.

Tutt could be much more useful in forward fifty I reckon....has the leg speed to defend and could be taught three things to do wit ball - depending on where he is in fifty - not a bad running kick for goal - but yeah bit of wide eyed rabbit in spotlights way too often..doesn't have any hurt in his kicking from an attacking perspective- he is defensive.
It's not that I don't rate him, it's just that he doesn't offer us anything we don't already have in Defence (though he may be better than Jaksh, Everitt).
At 192cm, I don't think he could hold down CHB FB these days. We need someone 196+ in this era.
Would like to see us Pickup a recognised KPF as well.
