Thoughts on Levi Greenwood's game Robbo?

Robbo:
fantastic. was concerned about him, wondering where his football was going... not concerned any more. In NM's best 22
I'm a Scotty fan, but he has stuffed up by not playing Greenwood. There are hard inside mids and there are very hard inside mids.....and then there is Ziebell and Greenhead.
Ditto Lindsay's radio interview the other day ; discussing when he had the yips in 2011, he said he needed a spell in the VFL, and in hindsight the coach should have done it sooner.He is yet another example that a spell in the VFL, even a lengthy one, isn't the bolt to the head of your career. It is why I think out of form or inconsistent players should get the tap on the shoulder and guys who are playing well consistently in the VFL be given a go.
Certainly delivered a big **** you to Brad Scott today.
The best part about this is that he only just turned 24!! So he's still quite young in the grand scheme of things. A more then perfect age for a 'mature' midfielder.Dare I say he might just be one of the couple of mature midfielder’s that Snake_Baker was demanding we recruit. It will certainly help if we find one of them internally.
I don't want to bash LA too much, but the guy not only couldn't tackle but he could accumulate a ton of the ball without being damaging and he wasn't even quick for an outside receiver.LA could not tackle a 5 year old kid.
If we go back to around Scotts arrival, there were many posts about his man love for Levi. Then why the hell hasnt Levi been dropped threads. Perhaps Scott had to show him tough love to get the most out of him. I was calling for Greenwood in when JZ was suspended so i do believe it a little late, but hey - he dropped an out of form Levi and brought back in a hungry one.
Absolutely correct.
Gee I wonder which 90's center player for North Levi plays like = Steveo
It was a disgrace that Scott had this tough nut in the magoos when soft spanners like LA and Sirra was getting a game. He is genuinely tough, and with Jackie Z, makes opposition players look over their shoulders constantly.
He forces oppostion errors and tackles to hurt. LA could not tackle a 5 year old kid.
You should all look at the bump/tackle the meat grinder put on the so called tough Luke Hodge in Launceston 2 years ago. It was bloody superb. Levi does that every week. Hodge didn't know what to do.
It's amazing what happens when you reward someone who has been in very good form at VFL level.
It was long overdue and he has taken his opportunity with both hands and driven it into the ground.
*cough* Ayden Kennedy *cough*
why would NMFC play Kennedy? He averages about 12 disposals in the VFL. Let him play brilliantly there (after his knee reco) before throwing him to the wolves at AFL level.He's clearly not ready yet
You do realise Aaron black was averaging similar numbers and not much for goals in the VFL... Stats aren't everythingwhy would NMFC play Kennedy? He averages about 12 disposals in the VFL.

Lovable bloke on field.
Don’t think he’s a pure shutdown player and playing him as a “tagger” each week won’t work. He is a genuine inside mid that hurts players physically and can play smart football. Some of his handball’s in traffic were great - one to setup Ziebell(?) in particular, however there were a few - and the whole balance inside looks better with him in there. Dare I say he might just be one of the couple of mature midfielder’s that Snake_Baker was demanding we recruit. It will certainly help if we find one of them internally.

stats aren't everything but they tell us something. They tell us that Kennedy isn't ready. If we played him now we'd do him an injustice. What's wrong with making him wait until he's really playing well in VFL regularly? We want him to have a long career not a short one because he's been marked as insufficient on the basis of a few bad games in AFL.
Second to get him in, we'd have to take someone out, probably Spud. Spud is better than Kennedy at the moment.
Point was he wasn't dominating or busting the door down, in the bests every now and then, and he adapted to the big stage, just as I feel Ayden willAaron Black was averaging 18.3 touches, 8.6 marks and 2 goals
not similar numbers, and I wouldn't call 2 goals a game "not much"
