Past #35: Aaron Black - 50 NM games - 64 goals - traded to Geelong for pick 92 in '16 trade period

[the big lebowski]

Still awaiting an genuine review of Woods game, unfortunately I had to miss it, would be appreciated.

He kicked 3, but his man, Mcdonald kicked 2. That sort of sums up his game IMO.

He looked great offensively but either couldn't, or didn't know how to stop his man (that i don't think has kicked many goals before) from almost undoing all his good work.

Black is a much better bet on Saturday night. But is Wood a better bet than Adams, Jacobs, Mullett etc.

That is another question.

Ok. Whose main was McDonald?

I've seen some claim Black, some claim Wood. Anyone watch the matchup closely?

 

[Istanbul Roo]

Wood did not do enough - suffering from the stupid decision not to play him in the Seniors earlier

What 'stupid decision'? I'm sure you'd know the full reasons for why the selectioin committee didn't select him - perhaps you could enlighten me

Definitely Wood's man as far as i could see (though i only saw it via the replay drunk and stoned out of my mind at 3.30am)

He had done enough in the magoos about four times to justify selection in the senior team IMHO

Black will play.

Wood will not.

I liked his debut. I thought he did some good things and his hands overhead looked clean. BUT, like others have already stated, there were times out there where he looked completely lost as to were to run and what he needed to be doing. Several times i saw other players pointing and yelling at him as to were to run. Should he have been in the team earlier to learn the running patterns and defensive structures? Maybe! Maybe not! Perhaps the match committee just know more about his game than we do

Have no doubt he will be a decent player for us starting next year though. And if we win on Saturday but cop an injury then at least he has had a little taste of it.

 

[Devil Fish]

I'm not sure, very tight call ... Discuss

I'm the same mate. Black shows glimpses but gee, if it hasn't clicked for him by now, will it?
But there's no doubt BS will stick with Black.
If he drops Turner and keeps Adams in however, that could be it for me.

 

[Elite Master]

If Wood debuted earlier in the season and was allowed to have a run at it I have no doubt he would be joining Turner and Brown in the seniors for the finals, but because we left it so late I don't think we will be pulling the trigger.

 

[Event Horizon]

By the way we can forget about the theory that Black has been severely hampered by some mysterious shoulder injury. If he was, you'd think he wouldn't have played against Melbourne.

Good point. But another avenue to goal at the G can't hurt, can it? I reckon we could fit both in.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Both, their athleticism makes them both very dangerous to match up on and provides enough run that a smaller player could produce

Hey if it were up to me I'd bite the bullet and play him, but I just don't see that happening.

Wood was maning someone else on the 1st goal and Black was late to get to McDonald.

Wood may have been covering someone else man and no one covered his.

The second he was goal side and the ball went over him from the opposite pocket.

 

[the smith show]

Wood should of been playing all year. He did enough against Geelong to be playing round 1.

As impressive as he was on the weekend he won't play this week.

One of his goals was from a down field free from a Dawes meltdown. He had to kick the goal but it was a freebie.

Both will play together next year.

No way man...

Showed a bit in a nothing game where others were going at half cat power.

it is pretty hard to tell to be really honest.

Suprised his hasn't been mentioned earlier. Black know clearly had McDonald on the first match up as the opponents switched. Having said that, risky putting him in but think he could do a good job if he does.

 

[Whereitallbegan]

don't see as much live as most of you, but given the injury to grima, could black play as a tall defender, has he got that in him? particularly the way his kicking has been of late, alah john longmire

 

[naturally north]

There is room for both.

Will Wood be exposed going the other way?

More exposed than the Brownlow medallist we were warned about at school as kids.

They didn't mention brownlow medallist for those wondering

 

[archereleven]

Has to be Black now, as Wood debuted 8 rounds to late.

 

[llama2]

Very hard to get a goal when up the ground so often, ever thought it is part of team strategy that we don't know about, his score assist this season has been impressive.

Yes, tied for 19th in the AFL for goal assists. Behind only LT and Boomer from North.
I don't think we can have both in the team, and Black is far more settled.

 

[LT Smash]

Doesn't have the fitness? Wood laps Black and the other forwards in the time trials.....

We'll be stuffed when they decide elimination finals over 2km runs then won't we?
