Player Watch Jake Soligo - Showdown Medalist!

[Dirty Bird]

How does first offence etc work.

Is it just this season?

Does it have to be that specific charge?

Cause with Lycett's history that does seem quite lenient. One of the dirtiest players around.

 

[Cleric]

In all honesty boys, we should think ourselves lucky we didn't lose some draft picks.

 

[Alwaysacrow]

Sensible result from the MRP. Pay the fine and move on. He'll learn from that. It was a silly thing to do after all.

 

[kirky]

What I don't understand is why you are even here bleating away.

Why? He/she is a Port supporter and they won so they randomly come over here like stray dogs looking for a home.

 

[morris086]

Reading the rules I was pretty sure it'd just be a fine but you never know with the AFL.

 

[ams4crows]

He was excellent again on the weekend. Goal kicking mids are hard to find

 

[Peter Doherty]

I know the 2021 draft was not long ago, which means naturally players are going to have less convictions than other drafts.

You just look back at the draft order and it looks a pretty strong draft.

Lucky the AFL rejected the trade on the night.

Look at the picks in the 30’s: Paul Curtis, Mitchito Owens, Jake Soligo

you can build a team around talent like that

From memory Melbourne were going to give us pick 43 to move a few picks closer. I wonder if Soligo would have gone between then? Scary to think about!

Meanwhile the board favourite for this selection, Arlo Draper, still hasn't been able to get on the park after multiple injuries.

Mitch Owens rising star nom. Soligo should get one soon.

Jake isn't eligible.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Jake isn't eligible.

Why is that. Played too many games last year?

 

[jackster83]

Why is that. Played too many games last year?

Yep. Played 16 games last year.

Draper OOC this year?

 

[jackster83]

Draper OOC this year?

Has a long term concussion injury atm.

I read a few posts about Soligo's game being not as good as stats suggested, maybe 1st half especially. Thought I'd take a look.



And here's my scoring system I just made up because why not. I lost "5" somewhere.

1	-	Not a perfect handpass, but fine
2	-	Useful link
3	Good	Inside to outside
4	Bad	Clearish, should have done better
6	Good	Clean and aggressive
7	-	Good mark, fine disposal, maybe a little too safe
8	Good	Opened up the angles for us
9	-	Fine, a little untidy
10	Terrible	Should always kick those
11	Terrible	Awful decision, bad execution
12	Good	Let the player run on to it at full speed
13	-	A little stiff to get called for that. Got sold into it a bit by Laird.
14	Bad	Too cute. At least made up for it with the tackle
15	Good	Well done
16	-	Not ideal to handpass to stationary big man, but he was clear
17	Good	Strong in traffic, right idea. Execution a little off or would have been great.
18	Good	Strong again. Reasonable decision & execution.
19	Terrible	facepalm
20	-	Fine
21	Great	Nice clearance
22	Bad	Should have kicked it sooner and would have been really good
23	-	Fine
24	Good	Good commitment, affected the contest with guts
25	Good	Good defensive effort
26	Good	Quick hands

1 * Great = 3pts
10 * Good = 10pts
8 * Fine = 0pts
3 * Bad = -3pts
3 * Terrible = -9pts

Total: 1 point.

My verdict: The posters were right, game wasn't as good as numbers tell.

But am still optimistic. He can have good to great impact with his involvements. If he's able to tidy up while keeping these possession numbers, he would be a really good player.

Do the same with Laird's game. Surprised if it would be much different

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Soligo led our team with 7 score involvements (tied with Pedlar) despite a few untidy disposals and missing the whole last quarter

Absolutely criminal that he was taken off

Clearly planned given his time on ground. Can you plan the player you’ll take off as sub and give no consideration to the team needs and performance at the time is staggering.

I’d like one journo to point this out and make a coach answer for it.

Good analysis, but on the other hand if you said that 19 out of 25 involvements were acceptable or better, that's a pretty good result. Not everything can be great.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

The other element is that Soligo is so clean at taking possession, a lot of what gets a good rating is actually very good.

Which makes it even more baffling why he was subbed out - one of our few skilled players under pressure.

 

[FR0GGY]

This is what I expect from the clam for keays, way too harsh, I started redoing it then I realized the numbers weren’t matching up with the plays. Got to about 16

1	good	Not a perfect handpass, but fine
2	good	Useful link
3	Good	Inside to outside
4	Bad*	Clearish, should have done better
6	Good	Clean and aggressive
7	great	Good mark, fine disposal, maybe a little too safe
8	Good	Opened up the angles for us
9	-	Fine, a little untidy
10	Terrible	Should always kick those
11	-	kicked it to keays who was pointing and running
12	Great	Let the player run on to it at full speed
13	-	A little stiff to get called for that. Got sold into it a bit by Laird.
14	-	Too cute. At least made up for it with the tackle
15	Great	What more could he do
16	good	Not ideal to handpass to stationary big man, but he was clear
17	Good	Strong in traffic, right idea. Execution a little off or would have been great.
18	Good	Strong again. Reasonable decision & execution.
19	Terrible	facepalm
20	-	Fine
21	Great	Nice clearance
22	Bad	Should have kicked it sooner and would have been really good
23	-	Fine
24	Good	Good commitment, affected the contest with guts
25	Good	Good defensive effort
26	Good	Quick hands

1 * Great = 3pts
10 * Good = 10pts
8 * Fine = 0pts
3 * Bad = -3pts
3 * Terrible = -9pts

Total: 1 point.

 

[glengowan]

I thought Soligo was one of the best. Mostly in tight. He gets subbed out at 3/4 time and we get thumped in the last quarter in tight. Especially by Adams, who otherwise was fairly quiet.

 

[NSolis]

Ultimately I think that's a good game from Soligo. I think it's easy to overrate elite ball use because it looks amazing, but to underrate just getting the ball. He's getting a lot of it, doing some very good things, some poor things, for a sub-30 game player I think that's fine and he's on the right track. Compares well with, say, Rory Sloane
