Player Watch #50 Campbell Gray

[Frustrated Tiger]

Same reason why MRj adds 10kgs every off season

That's the turtle last. Dean Rioli had the same problem.

 

[tiger_tough]

Throw him in the deep end this week I say.

 

[Grockadoc]

Throw him in the deep end this week I say.

Agree. I'd rather Gray in and Balta stay down back than Blight in and Balta shifts forward.

 

[richoatthedisco]

We are in no position to rest our captain and no 1 ruck.

Sure we are: 17th position. Pole position for Finn O'Sullivan.

 

[Morro]

Sure we are: 17th position. Pole position for Finn O'Sullivan.

At this rate, we rest Dusty and Nank and ask the Crows if we can play without wings to make it fair as we don't have the numbers.

Jagga Smith please.

We can rest Dusty, Nank, Vlas and Shai and still have the numbers. That's what we should do.

 

[richoatthedisco]

Jagga Smith please.

No.

Finn.

 

[tugga]

No.

Finn.

Is he as good as Kieran Harper?

 

[RobsJourney]

No.

Finn.

This one is tough... We really need a prolific, speedy, skilful mid like Jagga, and I can see why people would be unsure on Finn, he looks a touch slow and at times clumsy. But I'm sure those things are why Cripps slid even past our Lennon pick, and don't most teams regret that one...

Put Finn in an AFL system and he'll probably turn into a monster like Cripps.

All that said I'll be happy with either, but I'd lean toward the pace of Jagga. Given we already have a slower Taranto who will be around for the long haul, we can prob afford to get the smaller speedier player for the rebuild.

 

[DickieKnee]

Always find it quite sad some people feel the need to sprout how successful they are in the real world to complete strangers.

Yeah in my experience successful people tend to keep it quiet.

Finn is faster than Jagga. It's only tough if you're a stats slave.

Edit: I think you're thinking of Smillie. I have Jagga ahead of him, and Finn O'Sullivan ahead of both.

 

[richoatthedisco]

Is he as good as Kieran Harper?

Haha.

Much better.

 

[Bojangles17]

Does he have speed ?

Like Balta or Jack

Jack didn’t have speed he had a leap and was as cunning as a fox

 

[Bojangles17]

unless we're set on keeping kosi as a backman, i think gray has to come in this week

i'm bauers #1 fan but bauer is not a 1st tall, and barely a 2nd, he's the perfect 3rd tall

so if it's between bauer & gray i'd be choosing gray, but i personally want both to play so there's times when ryan is resting fwd that bauer will be the 3rd tall

Gray isn’t first tall either same size . Bauer should come in leave gray to develop get some confidence in his teammates, a few weeks the picture will be clearer
I’d def play mal tho , straight in

too bad he is only 182cm tall if he was 5-6cm taller he would be just about guaranteed #1 pick this year

Second cousin.

You are obsessed with heights.

Sam Walsh was 182cm when drafted, now listed as 184. You of all people should be saying Finn still has scope to grow. Not that it matters if he doesn't. He has a great leap, long arms and is fantastic overhead.

We don't want him to go number 1, we want him to go to Richmond.

You know who else is 182cm (or less)?
Joel Selwood
Gary Ablett Jr (180)
Zach Merrett (179)
Zac Butters 181
Dion Prestia 175
Liam Baker 173
Lachie Neale 178
Rachele 179
Rankine 181
Shai Bolton 178
Soligo 180

and so many more.

Where have you been? Need a multi quote ASAP

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Looks the same height as Blight. Skinny bugger though.

Too much emphasis on height. Some blokes have a long head. We’re not playing soccer.

More relevant is reach and jumping ability and they look like long arms to me.

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Yeah but look at those black polished boots...ready to go first day at school!

Do you think there’s a compass in the heel?

 

[Maurice Mitchell]

Yea him , Marshall , jones that tall very mobile type , just get more games under the belt , don’t rush him, Bauer deserves a shot asap

Just look at how much Treacy’s improved since I was spruiking him at Peel a couple of years ago.

I’m no talent scout but sometimes you can see it.

Wow. No one replaced the dog’s head with Meehan’s.

Is this the Richmond board?
