Opinion Matt Priddis discussion.

[kranky al]

Was fully back to 2014 form today - hp to feet, turnovers galore - killed our momentum every time he got the ball.

Commentators still frothing over him "experts"

Looks injured, shouldnt be out there


Played a terrible game of quiddich

 

[ziad]

Injured - so rest. He may be our only on field leader so mmm

 

[ChampRevesby]

He just needs a rest. Either he is being selfish or the club is being ******ed.

 

[MWPP]

It's Voldemort.

 

[WCErevival]

It would be good if he was back to 2014 form. I'm thinking its more 2013 form

 

[Swarhily]

Who?

 

[Forward Press]

Was fully back to 2014 form today

You mean Brownlow medal winning form?

 

[MWPP]

Who?

He Who Must Not Be Named

Spoiler

Priddis . Always the unfair scapegoat

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

disgraceful disposal today. But hey whats new. Is an aboslute witches hat defensively. Sandilands could side-step him

Priddis . Always the unfair scapegoat

While there has been unfair criticism in the past he has been poor this year.

He is hardly the only one though.

28 quality touches today at 57%
no surprise really, against the other contenders
Sydney 28 @ 46%
Hawks 19 @ 57%

but wowee boyoboyo can he ski well against the also not good enoughs
Fremantle 31 @ 70%
Brisbane 43 @ 76%

but lets deflect to everyone else, not the guy who gets first hands on the ball and more than half of the time gives it to the opposition when its hot

 

[kranky al]

You mean Brownlow medal winning form?

Yeah dont really rate that brownlow - made a video where he played much like today and got votes

Funny now he had a brilliant 2015 when he goes back to his old ways people are quick to spot it now - the blinkers are off

He hasn't been poor for most of the year (unlike LeCras, who had one good game last week)
However, he hasn't maintained his 2014-5 form.
Maybe it will be a blessing in disguise. We can't keep relying on him (at 31, he's the oldest player on our list...)

He was an instrumental part of our purple patch in the third quarter
And he wasn't even one of our worst in the Hawks game

Theres a few sacred cows out there who should be given orders for the wafl front this week.

Jetta, plodder would sure send a message - its st kilda at home

Priddis doesn't deserve to be dropped. Jetta on the other hand- first on the chopping block.
LeCras deserved to be dropped too. But his performance last week will keep him in. He's the truly sacred cow.
Along with Masten.

Orly?


Instrumental in handing geelong a gimmee and kiling our momentum.

Oh you mean in the third quarter when we were streaming forward and he plod handballed it and geelong kicked a direct goal? One of two clear 12 point plays against us today from the holy one.

Are you serious? His missed handball in the 3rd quarter when we had all the momentum was classic Priddis. Had just marked teh ball and had to execute a simple handpass to give us a chance to score. Instead he handpassed behind teammate and turned the ball over.

His disposal is ****ing pathetic. Needs to be dropped. If you just look at the stats sheet and nothing else then you dont have a clue about football.

Must've been watching a different game (or rather, blinded by your own bias)

 

[SpaceClef]

We have shot ourselves in the foot by drafting minimal inside mids

By the time we start drafting them again our age profile will be out of whack.

 

[Moose1414]

Clearly not fit, needs a rest. [So does Gaff] Simpson is so allergic to dropping blokes he'd let them play with a broken leg if they said they were right, needs to make a call on Pridda and freshen him up for down the track.

Its just occurred to me today from a point raised in another thread about Pyke moving to Adelaide hurting us tactically, reckon there could be something in the argument that Priddis was a different player under him. For me, 2014/2015 he was elite, different player those 2 years compared to all years before, seems to be back down to liability status now. Whats the missing link?

 

[kranky al]

Was there 4 or 5 prid turnovers that led to gimmees - I lost count

We were incredibly lucky geelong fluffed two of them

Yeah I'm serious. I'm wondering if you are. If he hadn't played a part in building that momentum in the leadup, you'd have more of a point.
But either way, it's just one moment .
He has been up/down this year, like most of our team
And unlike LeCras (who has been poor all year), and even Masten/Mackenzie (giving these two the benefit of the doubt as they're both returning from injuries...but I'm losing patience with Masten especially).

 

[SpaceClef]

Nah, some of those very basic disposals for a senior player and Brownlow medallist were absolute trash.

Not to defend our other players' performances today, but Priddis had a ****ing shocker
