Player Watch #40: Eddie Ford - re-signed until end of 2025

[koshari]

His technique for the snap was so wrong.

He was rushed, off balance and didn't give himself enough room to snap it through.

Needs to improve on this.

i actually reckon he coulda squared up and just kicked it straight.

 

[koshari]

I am not as much of a wrap on him as others. I would prefer to see Duursma back in the team now we are performing a lot better. Was really starved earlier in the year.

I also think Duursma would be a better mark and better field kick, maybe just not the tank to get up and down the field.

Maybe Ford can have a spell and try to find some goal kicking form in the VFL?

duursma has the smarts and poinse, just needs a tank and some conditioning, eddie seems to have some tank and conditioning but his poise isnt great at times, some of those attributes can be learned, others are gifted.

I think we're a much better side with Ford playing, don't think they're necessarily competing for the same spot

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

C grade currently with a B grade ceiling due to his contested overhead marking being decent quality.

Anyone know what Eddies problem was, does the injury report video come out today or tomorrow ?

Wasn’t that a similar injury he sustained in our final training session before Christmas last year? Ankles are a bugger of a thing.

[Hearts to hearts]

Fantastic goal.

 

[koshari]

plays better when he doesnt have to think, when he has time to think he cooks it.

 

[King Corey]

Love Eddie but net negative game today.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Ordinary footballer, this team should move past him

 

[Nylex]

Didn’t do enough today. Teased by almost kicking us the match winner, but 1 goal and 1 tackle is not the standard

 

[RossHenshaw]

Love Eddie but net negative game today.

Think he’s another Curtis Taylor type . Reached his ceiling already… that’s all we are going to get

It’s Possible... A Stephenson, Curtis Taylor type. Show plenty early, but never reach a new level.
That’s where Clarko and Barlow need to work some $m magic and turn him into a 2 goal 6 tackle a game forward.

 

[shinboner magic]

I mind the gap between his best and worst - needs to be minimised

 

[My Left Foote]

Not his best day at the office despite a very good goal, only played 39 games so still has time and room for improvement. Hopefully he has an uninterrupted preseason.

 

[Topparoo]

I like Eddie but I think he enjoys dancing in front of the mirror a little too much.

 

[Shack18]

Disappointed in Ford, thinks he is good but is another plodder. Like all of them needs a huge preseason

 

[Chewy Chewman]

I actually think given his marking power could be better utilised in defence.

atm. Moves in the exact same way, with limbs and head flying everywhere, and has the same hard=easy and easy=hard thing going on. If he ever locked in fully he'd be a weapon

Such a perfect description.

That is such a great call.
