Can we stop comparing Shaun Atley to Judd.

[Bourky23]

don't think Judd will be the only champion he'll end up being compared to.

Hird didn't slide, he was a brilliant pick up

Swan didn't slide he wasn't a highly touted junior, but he has also turned into an excellent pick up by the Pies... simple

Andrew Swallow?
Sam Mitchell?

etc.

 

[AndSmithMustScore]

He's going to be better than Judd. Bookmark it.

Stuff bookmarks.

Bet me $1000 on it.

 

[DarwinRoo]

i think the comparisons stem from the fact that atley can play an inside and outside game like judd which not many mids in this draft do. Also the other similarity is the speed especially away from clearences, the major difference is the kicking, Judd has an elite kick whereas atley is an average kick.

There is another Judd other than Chris out there?

Rebecca?

Rebecca?

Oscar. Everyone knows babies are elite at kicking their feet in the air.

 

[ManOfClay]

Judd in the West Coast days had an elite kick.

Atley runs and carries but kicks like a donkey. He needs to work on this a lot.

 

[MaddAdam]

Has worked on his kicking and Scott is talking him up massively. Expect a big year from him this year.

 

[DapperDon]

Coach talking up young talent.

Get on him for the Brownlow people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So did he do anything last season? I honestly dont know and am interested.

Played 14 games, showed excellent signs. Very good result from a draftee.

 

[Slattery_20]

He was pretty good, not a massive impact, but had a few good touches most games he played.

Well below what the Swallow/Gaff/Smiths of the world were producing.

 

[MaddAdam]

Watched him closely at the intra club yesterday. Wass playing HBF. Will play more games this year but IMO is still a year off really producing but jeez his first few steps are ultra impressive.

 

[GreatBradScott]

Thread deserves a bump.

 

[Squida25]

No it really didn't.

 

[Flawed Genius]

No, he has Judd's ability to break tackles and a similarly smooth running style, but he's nowhere near as quick as Judd was in his prime at the Eagles.

You sure about that?

 

[SirJimi05]

Thread deserves a bump.

Why?

 

[dlanod]

Thread deserves a bump.

Did Atley win a Brownlow, dislocate someone's shoulder or become a lot more interested in cardboard boxes while I wasn't watching? If not, no, it really didn't require a bump.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Has improved his kicking out of sight this year....

Exactly. Thats why he shouldn't be compared to Judd. .
