Player Watch Josh Rachele - Sent To The Gulag!

[MrBarry]

The Rachele hate is so irrational. There wouldn't be a club in the AFL that wouldn't take him. He can be better and he will be. Play a shit position, with the biggest clown development panel in the AFL, regularly thrown to the media and is rarely, if ever, publically backed by coaches or senior team members.

Agreed, it's absolutely bizzare - classic hive mind idiotic thinking.

He's far too soft to dominate.

Exactly the criticism on BF on the Port and Crows boards regarding Rozee up until a couple of years ago. Too soft won’t make it to a top liner. It’s complete and utter rubbish

Only gets caught once a game are you blind! Take you rose colored glasses off and don’t be so scared to call it out!

He is only a 3rd year player. I suspect we will see a decent step up again next year and then the year after he will explode.

Your view is similarly blinkered to the people out there who haven’t recognised JHF is not far off being a top 20 player in the league. The attributes are there - needs to grow up and perform consistently and get a few poor habits out of his system

Let’s see..

I will never understand the complaints about him getting caught holding the ball.

I sit up in the riverbank stand so have a pretty good view of what’s ahead of the ball. When there is a decent opportunity ahead he pulls the trigger. The times he’s gotten done are more often than not because there is no good option and he’s tried to make something happen.

I know throwing it on the boot and making it someone else’s problem is popular amongst some of our 200+ gamers, but it’s actually not what you want from a creative half forward.

I'm not judging him until this clown coach is gone. A new coach changes everything.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Keep the faith. This kid is alright.

 

[Owen_AFC97]

Imagine how good he’d be if Nicks wasn’t his coach.

For all you idiots that have been picking all your dopey new word salad reasons every week, front up, come in here, apologise, and never post in this thread again.

Good game by Rash today... 3 goals and plenty of good efforts

 

[Crowbling]

Best performance for a long time. Would like to see how he goes with a real coach.

You need to go to Specsavers.

Rachele haters where you at?

Great game by Josh today. Note that he no longer had the heavy strapping on the knee. Appeared to be moving with more explosiveness.

No one hates him. No one does. The criticism of his hardness (lack of it) was warranted. But tonight he was superb. That’s the Rachele we need. This is hopefully the making of him.

Good to hear

Pity they didn’t have the same words to say about our shape shifter, Murphy.

You can just tell this guy would be a star in a finals bound team playing attacking football

Or in a team coached by someone with any plan B or C to get their most talented players more involved.

You mean those who we’re suggesting he’s a bust or should be traded (check this thread), were proven wrong.

And that he’s clearly a confidence player who needs a coach who backs him in and gives him opportunities?

You seem upset?

Rash was a different player tonight, and it was nothing to do with possessions or goals kicked.

He played with an intensity that he hasn't shown for ages - that's what most people commenting on him have been calling for (and by the reaction of some of his team mates, so have they).

Not sure if it's improved fitness, head space or something else, but more please.

 

[glengowan]

He played very well. Since he shaved his head and they gave him the role of just playing forward, he’s been really solid. Built his game up from doing the little things. If he attacks pre-season as he has the last 6 weeks or so he should come along very nicely for 2025.
