Player Watch Josh Eyre

[rand corp]

serious question?

It was always just that is was easier and more predictable to read the play and anticipate it, as it unfolded in front of you. Rather than having to turn before heading towards your own goal. The other aspect was that your man would often lead you to the ball/play as well.

What I noticed today is that he has a habit of pulling down marks with one hand. You've got two hands kid, use them lol

Yeah that doesn’t tend to work when you have to overcome any sort of physical contact!

 

[TradeDraft]

He’s definitely playing forward as per todays session

Yeh I couldn't believe it was a question. Half back is the easiest spot on the ground.

Just in a drill. He used both hands in match sim.

I'd be playing him back so he can get into things. Is not going to play unless super desperate for a few weeks anyway and then once he settles give him time up forward.

Agree. Eyre also played forward a fair bit in his final with the bombers where he didn’t do much.

Well thats not very promising.

Wait until you hear that they delisted him!

Needs to put some muscle on though.

Looks coordinated and a smooth mover. Although also looks like a stiff breeze could knock him over.

Had the marking yips apparently. Seemed to have overcome those in the VFL last year.

I assume it was just heavily managed minutes on return today?

Yup. They put him on very restricted minutes which was always the plan for his first game. Didnt even play the last Q.
But competed strongly in the air early. He should be better for the run and his confidence in getting through some game time.

Today at Casey, you can see he has some overhead skills. And has good athleticism. He was up against a good defender in Tomlinson today. But with more experience up forward, I think we could have found one.

Also the Ball just about never went to him

Eyre probably take a Few Games to get back to speed of the Game

You must be looking at the wrong bloke! He isn't the hulk but he's got a bit of muscle on his 200cm frame and I sadly have to guess his weight in an elite professional sporting competition because.....? I'd say around 95 kg. I wouldn't want to run into him.

Who thinks that josh Eyre is likely to become our Full Back? And if so, how long will it take him to overtake Frampton and Chaz?

That depends who Chaz is.

 

[live fast pieyoung]

Charlie Dean. I understand he isn't our Key back, and more of a third ma up, but our tall backs aren't settled ATM so I think they are currently both in the conversation

I think Dean will come in for Noble.

JUST PLAY HIM

 

[Jelly Bean]

Probably comes in this week to play against Geelong, to free up Frampton or Moore to play ruck, and give us some coverage to be able to go forward if needed given Miho has gone down.
