Player Watch Josh Carmichael (Retired 2024)

[Sobreye]

Yeah, stuff the national draft - let's introduce a mid, mid season draft and a post mid season draft.

Had quite a few rookies in the last flag, this might be our new alternative source

Collingwood dynasty incoming!

 

[frizzle]

This kid can play. Looking forward to what he brings with a bit more experience & fitness.

 

[PieBeast]

We've got a good 'un here.

The mid-season steal who swapped bat for ball, and hasn't looked back

Collingwood snapped up Josh Carmichael in the mid-season draft and he's already proving he has what it takes, calmly slotting two majors in a game-changing final-quarter performance against Essendon

I just love him, that's it

 

[Chrispiesssss]

My boy!!!

Interestingly, our 5 choices were:

The Magpies had only five names on their draft board. Four were gone by the time they were on the clock. Jai Culley went to West Coast. Essendon took Massimo D’Ambrosio. Hawthorn and Port Adelaide added ruckmen in Max Ramsden and Brynn Teakle respectively. It meant Carmichael was on his way to the AIA Centre.

Does he remind anybody of Denis Banks?

 

[domus]

I

Disagree. I don't have his stats handy but to the eye he butchers his field kicking more than he should.

I agree. Far too many floaters and tumblers mixed in with the ones that he hits sweetly. He tends to rush rather than slow down in his last few steps before delivery.

 

[Pistol Night]

My word we've nailed the mid season draft the past few years. Noble, Johnson and now Carmichael. Credit where its due to the recruiting team.

No

He's basically a good kick, as his goals showed.
With more coaching and experience he'll get better.
He's only had 3 games at AFL level, so he's shown more than anyone could reasonably have expected.

I was referring to Degoey's kicking. JC was being compared to Jordie.
Carmichael already looks a better set shot than Jordie

The way he moves, he reminds me of McGuanne. Looks a bit scruffy, but with good skills.

Ahh, OK. It's probably too late to fix the Goo's kicking.

Funny what good coaching and development can do to players

Assuming you mean their previous coaches? I’m not sure we can claim the development of Carmichael just yet.

 

[Abdul_The_Bull]

No

Agreed. Too big and not enough 'lunatic' in him!

We'll reassess if he steals a bus...

Or gives somebody an uppercut.

 

[Horaceg]

Has he done a Rhys Jones on anyone yet?

 

[MyManLynch]

Does he have any experience driving buses?

 

[Chrispiesssss]

12 disposals and a goal in 40% TOG.

He can play.

 

[Mongo Ming]

Is it too late to turn this Player Watch thread into a Toast thread?

Kid is legit.

What a ****ing gun, love this kid.

 

[jonbe54]

Kid has some serious talent and poise for a hickster.

Imagine him with a full AFL pre-season behind him . . .
