Training Nakia Cockatoo

[Gee Class Loco]

Nakia has show absolutely nothing and it would be complete stupidity to bring him in for the finals.

He looks like he hasn’t got a clue what’s happening when he does play which is rare in itself.
So over hyped.

PMSL. We fishing or just stirring the pot??
It's like me stating that... Some people must just go to the footy only to catch up with friends for a chat.
CRAZY hey?? lol

 

[you pick one]

Cocky might be alright if we could simply screw a governor to his arse and stop him redlining early in his comeback.He needs to understand his body, I hope that has been incorporated in the rehab.

Any interstate trucky could just pull it out, adjust it and put it back in though.

My body usually flips my brain the bird when receiving any instructions

Haha yeah. I see B doubles limited to 100 hammer pass me when I'm doing 110.

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Wow. Interesting take.
When not injured* he has shown plenty.

*rare, I know

I wouldn’t say plenty. He may be a good player in a few years but people suggesting he should come in for the finals is ridiculous.

I just think he’s way over hyped

Your opinion mate. I respect that. If we all had the same opinions the world would be very boring.

Agree with you 100% on opinions... But Boy O Boy your player/talent evaluation... Geezuz...
Cheers!

As much as i love Cocky unless he plays 5 full(not managed) VFL games don't bring him near the AFL side this year

Last thing we need is him breaking down halfway through quarter 1 or 2 in a final

 

[Willo_]

My tip still is 3 games in the 2s... In V Carlton last round

So half a vfl, half a vfl, maybe a full vfl then afl???? if so no thanks

 

[Two Planks]

Agreed.

He would have to be an upgrade on Atkins and Parsons.

Half VFL, 70% VFL, full VFL game and he'll get a crack... Unless he can't get near it..
For all we know they've had him wound up and ready for a while, they will test the waters I reckon, Scott often says nothing and speaks in riddles but he also can give away plenty in the riddles when he wants... The constant Cocky references in his weekly presser aren't a coincidence

Is that the Ottens season plan ..

Oh, I don't think he will play seniors in 2019.
But he has not shown "absolutely nothing".

 

[foxdog50]

Atkins 1st year his been good, Before the bye was really good for us. I do admit since the bye he has been below par, may get dropped but has been not that bad.

 

[Seeds]

Even the journalists can't stop themselves for falling for this rubbish.

For the record, James Parsons actually produces as much (or better) than Cockatoo does. Yes really.

Nope wrong. This is quite possibly your worst call in 10 years.

Before the bye he was really poor except for one solid game against essendon. He has played as a forward all year and kicked 3 goals. He is also a poor tackler. Ive never seen a worse season from a player who hasnt been dropped.

This is straight form the Nathan Buckley Geelong 18 home games handbook. Surely.

 

[Cattery]

Nope wrong. This is quite possibly your worst call in 10 years.

Look at their records and they're remarkably similar, Cockatoo may have shown a bit more brilliance occasionally (very occasionally) but there's not much between them.

 

[bulletproof]

Atkins is awful and will surely go, but I think with Parfitt and Menegola to come back, I don't Cockatoo will play seniors this year.

He would be an option in an emergency (if say Rohan got injured) and he has played 4-5 VFL games.

Hopefully... But i don't have the faith in Cocky to perform that i had in the pill

Its been a while but I dont think performing has been his problem..its lasting .
