Player Watch Josh Carmichael (Retired 2024)

[FromTheBoundaryLine]

Great story. May there be many winning chapters ahead for JC.

I just don’t want the kid getting torched after one game. He’s replacing Degoey so there’s going to be unfair expectations.

Some always go negative very early… sometimes I’m one of them eg Madgen

But I reckon this kid is a 50 gamer at least.

Will be better than Sier… and remember how over hyped he was on this board

Definitely better than Sier, because he has something he didn't. The drive to succeed. The work ethic as well. Josh has done some hard yards, given where he was 2 years ago.

Good luck Joshua!

Collingwood JC's:

Carmody, John 16 games 6 goals
Carmody, Jack 94 games 12 goals
Carroll, Jack 2 games 0 goals
Clement, James 146 games 13 goals
Clifton, Jeff 102 games 0 goals
Cloke, Jason 76 games 10 goals
Coucher, Jim 6 games 0 goals
Crisp, Jack* 190 games 58 goals
Crow, Justin 1 games 0 goals

Hopefully Josh ends up one of the best JC's.

Whilst not as dynamic as De Goey at his best… I’m confident after 3 games his key stats will compare well to De Goeys

Some on here have embellished De Goeys ability and consistency to the point where they believe without him we can’t be successful going forward

It’s not embellishment but rather delusion that would have someone thinking a mid-season draftee is going to “compare well” to the bloke with the second most coaches’ votes at the club this season.

......and not nailed to the cross by the supporters on here!

I'm bullish on him. Good size, good tank, penetrating kick, hunger to succeed, knows how to find the pill.
To me, he is a much more likely prospect than the either of the Brown Brothers or probably Poulter.

Josh's journey so far

Relive some of the moments that brought Josh Carmichael to his debut for the Pies.

Wish the young man well, big jump to AFL but a good game to debut in.

 

[peter9789]

Wish the young man every success. Fills a need with DeGoey out, has some nice size to him so hopefully he can take the step up to AFL. Glad he has been given the opportunity.

And beyond drive and work ethic…

from what I’ve seen Carmichael moves much better and does more work around the ground.

I mean when did Sier ever take 8-10 marks in a VFL game?

Sier was just a stoppage player… had no other strings to his bow. Can’t get the years back that they invested in him

Carmichael will be a far better player

I knew I had you on ignore for a reason.

If De Goey is out for 3 weeks and Carmichael gets significant midfield time…

I’ll tag you in a stats comparison

You might need to work on your ignore technique.

Fair enough if you want to get rid of De Goey but expecting an MSD debutant to perform at his level is placing unreasonable expectations on him.

Fantastic to see Josh get his debut and probably the right game to do it in you’d think

All I personally wanna see from him is some indication that he’s a genuine clearance player because it’s something we ever so desperately need more than anything else right now

Not expecting some sort of dominant game from him on debut. But if I see him get his body in the clinches and get some real, genuine bone fide clearances I’ll be rapt.

You and me, both!!

Doing everyone at Merbein proud, i was lucky enough to be in the area atm so i bought tickets to the game. Kill it Carmy

Are you from Merbein? I grew up there.

I too wish the young guy all the best in his debut on Saturday against North. Hopefully he performs well enough to keep his place in the side, if not even better. "Floreat Pica", J C.

So happy for this bloke! I posted these b4...

I suppose we'll get to see which one he is tomorrow.

What about simply "CARBO"? Why? I had an English Expression & English Literature teacher in Year 12 whose surname was Carmichael. And guess what his nickname was? "CARBO"! By the way, he was a good bloke too. Goodnight & goodluck.

 

[Gratees]

Are you from Merbein? I grew up there.

I'm more out Koorlong way but i do play for the club. Carmy was midfield coach for under 18s in 2020, and i did do the seniors pre season that year with him

 

[The jouneyman]

His first kick will be a goal.

 

[JuniorB]

Given where he has come from in a couple of years, there wouldn't be much doubt about his work ethic.
He's a good size and a booming kick, and seems like a really good young fella.
I hope he enjoys his day & plays well.
Good luck kid!

 

[Tarkyn_24]

Nice of Carmichael to present Lockyer his guernsey for the weekend, but surely they could’ve stolen Caleb’s unused 24 instead?

 

[Good Horse]

I'm mildly excited
