2019 Training Reports

[M_rash]

C'mon enough of this hypothetical BS... back to Scrabble puns.

Sandi has RBLTOUE on his rack, could spell trouble

Too many vows!!!

 

[Spirit Level]

If he was fit and ready to go, and we'd just won a prelim (just)... would you play him?


He's still a beast. I would. Sorry Darcy.

No way, in that scenario Darcy/Lobb got us to that prelim.

Not messing with that

 

[Spirit Level]

Really hoping Gyro or Crowden comes in for Tabs. That forward line is too tall

Probably a call to be made based on the weather. GC have named a fairly tall and inexperienced backline (Collins, Hombsch, Ballard), so it’s probably not as big an issue. They arent renowned for their run off half back - Hanley looks a shadow of his former self, Bowes is a smooth mover but not overly fast, so it’s really Harbrow that provides the run.

Not much rain today and forecast is for sun tomorrow. Perfect game to trial all four together, with options to mix it up if required. Hogan rotate mid, Lobb thru the ruck, Schultz off the bench.

Brayshaw 51% - 49% Blakely
Sandi 100%
Cox 55% - 45% Tabs

Sandi gets first hands just about every time so would help win the centre clearances. Cox has the versatility that if Hamling or Pearce were to go down, he could slot down back. Brayshaw and Blakely both beasts; I’ve given the edge to AB because I think he’s a bit of a smarter footballer.

brayshaw 51% - 49% Blakley
Sandi 55% - 45% Darcy
Cox 99% - 1% Tabs

Lol at Brayshaw > Blakely. It's not even close yet.

People have short memories.......long term Brayshaw will likely be better but if both were fully fit tomorrow and you could only choose 1, it's Blakely quite comfortably - is tougher, wins more ball and can play both mid and in the back line.

I love Andy as much as anyone but agree with this.

Blakely >> Andy

as it stands.

One of the best contested marks in the game and people here still think he's no good. People have extremely short memories if they think Brayshaw is currently better than Blakely

Not under-rating him. The question was regarding Cox or Tabs. No one in their right mind would prefer Tabs. He plays less games, kicks less goals, averages less possessions, less marks inside 50, worse disposal DE%, isn't as mobile, can't play back and is 5 years older than Cox.

It would be like picking Gumbleton over a Pav. Decent back-up, but not in the same league.

Brennan Cox ranked 22 for Contested Marks in 2018 - Matthew Taberner 53rd

Can't compare a year were Tabs was out for most of it.

What is the stat per game?

Edit
Cox 27 CM is 16 games. 1.68 pergame
Tabs 20 CM in 9 games 2.22 per game
Tabs ahead.

Cox: 27 contested marks from 16 games 0.59 per game
Taberner: 20 contested marks from 9 games 2.22 per game

Taberner ranked at #7 last season for contested marks per game, that's with him breaking his foot in the first quarter of the Bulldogs game last year.

 

[Scham]

5 years of experience and preparation difference. What were Tabs stats like at 20?

in his 7 games of 2018 he averaged more than Matthew Pavlich in 2018...whats your point caller?

 

[Freeeoo]

Geez there's some pointless (and dumb) to-ing and fro-ing on what is supposed to be the Training Thread.

 

[WilloTree]

Cox: 27 contested marks from 16 games 0.59 per game
Taberner: 20 contested marks from 9 games 2.22 per game

Taberner ranked at #7 last season for contested marks per game, that's with him breaking his foot in the first quarter of the Bulldogs game last year.

In the last 3 years Freo have brought in to the club Cox, Dixon, Strnadica, McCarthy, Kersten, Hogan and Lobb. All marking forwards.

Why?

Because Taberner's best season is 18 goals.
Brennan Cox kicked that last year as a 19 year old.

Anyway, I think this has gone far enough. Agree to disagree and back to the training reports.

Pav had better commentary stats though. Averaged 1.6 Cometti-isms per game.

 

[jedi mind tricks]

Is this training reports or player analysis?

Go do a thread on it

 

[go_the_dockers]

Any one who watches training, any update on Stephen Hill and Bennell?
Thanks

 

[Superkoops]

TBA

Bennell you never know how far away he is. Hill all summer has looked a million miles away IMO and I honestly do not know when we will see him again.

 

[serial_thrilla]

You can probably strike a line through Sandilands, Hill and Kersten until after the bye. Bennell a perennial mystery.

Ultimately the ins we should be focusing on are Blakely and Cox.
