Let's not go that far

We all remember anytime Westhoff had a high pressure shot

If Westhoff could kick under pressure we'd be undefeated all time against the SUNS.

Absolutely sick of this dude killing momentum by being completely unable to execute one of the fundamental skills of the game and missing basic set shots from 30 out. Just retire you fraud

Just drop him it's not that hard.

I’m with you. Most overrated PAFC career I can recall. Ryder was close IMO, but this guy takes the cake. Doesn’t hold a candle to Jay Schulz, and not in the same stratosphere as Tredrea, Hodges or even D. Smith.

BIG CHUCKWAGON CHARLIE LOVES HIS V8S AND HANGING SHIT ON HIS OWN SUPPORTERS VROOM VROOM

 

[Harlott]

I’ve really liked his starts in games this year. Looks like he’s going to tear games apart. Then something happens and he becomes ineffectual. Not to mention the ability to nail a crucial set shot. I really do think it’s mental for him and a lot of our players.
As an aside, I got to the game at 5pm as my daughter wanted to attempt get some autographs and pics. Some players came out for the earliest warmup where they take set shots etc. All very casual. Some trickle out by themselves, others in pairs. Charlie comes out with Chad.
Are these guys inseparable?

With due respect he's not got what it takes for that from what I've seen so far. Without his footballing platform he'd be unremarkable. I watch some car youtubes and yeah, he's not high on the list.

But... Could be worse. The face he pulled when he seen a Holden with a Chev badge on it, there's hope for him yet.

Westhoff could take mark of the year in the goal square and then kick it out on the full or into the man on the mark.

The yank youtubers that get 1930's cars they find in a field somewhere turning over is where it's at man.

I like the ones with the black fellas in the NT where they find an old Hyundai excel in the bush with no doors or exhaust or tyres and they get it going and drive it back

 

[PowerLil]

Why does he start his run up like he's on starting blocks when having a set shot?

It's a crap routine and he ends up leaning back on kicks a lot.. once again something decent skills coaches would've sorted in 5 minutes.

Will never forget a post-game interview about 4 years ago when Ginever pointed out directly to him that he leans back when kicking for goal which doesn’t help his accuracy. Dixon almost bit his head off with some disrespectful comment about armchair experts etc. If only he or someone else at the club had listened.

Two players were more responsible than any others for the 2020 prelim loss to Richmond: Lycett for getting his pants pulled down in the last quarter by Nankervis. And Charlie for failing to give a yelp except for one late goal. If he marks 2-3 of those long bombs we kept kicking his way, we probably win. Assuming, he could actually seal the deal with his goal kicking.

Reacting like that to Ginever tells you all you need to know about Charlie & the whole joint, it's on par with Hinkley telling club greats they don't understand modern footy.

I'll tell you what they did understand you fukcing bellends! SKILLS

The worst part of this is that Hinkley himself doesn't understand modern footy.

 

[edgie]

The worst part is Tim still continues to simp for the club for a bit after that.

He is a tough, frustrating player and even though he is still a great contested mark that we would be better off without him in the team.

He is just not reliable in front of goals when it matters. It kills the team.

I am on the Dixon watch to see if his play spirals downward this year because of injury and old age, etc.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Most unclutch player in the history of team sports

That's harsh on Eric Hipwood.

Was Ryder's career at Port really overrated?

I always thought that he was a bloke that had insane potential, got screwed over by the doping case, and never fully realised that dream at Port. No question his ceiling was one of the highest we've ever seen.

Someone should tell Charlie the drop punt is overrated. Here's Twiggy Dunn kicking a torp from 10m out to draw the 1977 grand final.

 

[backtozero]

He's not a great contested mark. His average per game is fine but doesn't take into account how often the ball comes his way.

Haha that wasn't a torp that was a flat punt. Flat punts don't spin as much as torps.

That's what we should teach our players to kick when its raining or the ground has been hit with a large downpour.

The ball carries further and if our players were smart enough they would get an advantage in a pack marking situation because the ball carries further to the back of the contest, players tend to misjudge how far it will travel, and our smaller players can put themselves at the back of the pack.

Blight's players followed his instructions to the letter, and gave a master class in the 1998 SF at the SCG using the flat punt. There was a massive downpour 40 minutes before the game, one of those Sydney 60mm in 20 minutes type downpours, I got caught up in it and was soaked like never before, and there was regular rain during the match, but not all match.

From a 2016 article about the 3 drawn GFs.

The grand final idea whose time has come

It's about time. And time is what it's about. Two grand finals in any one year are too many. The second always is an anti-climax. The premiership is no less real, the triumph and tragedy as keenly felt, but the day has the mood of an after-thought.

www.theage.com.au

About all three grand finals, there was an indelible quirk. In 1948, it was Essendon's abysmal kicking, 7.27. In 1977, it was Twiggy Dunne's pack mark, flat punt and goal to level the scores for Collingwood. In 2010, it was the random bounce that eluded Stephen Milne and what would have been St Kilda's winning goal.

He leans back and his leg swings across him. It's a terrible technique and is why he misses so many shots.
