2nds Northern Blues 2016

I'll be the judge of your opinion.

 

[Show_Me_The_Money]

But not up to what? I agree Tutt isn't the player to take us forward as we make the big strides towards the end of the 66 games, but until then, we have to field a team and he tries his guts out. You won't see him bludging like Everitt.

Not up to AFL standard. Even your average disposers like an Armfield can hit targets when under no pressure. Tutt can't. He is basically devoid of any skill.

Combine Tutt's endeavor with Everitt's talent and you would have yourself a very good player.

It is a matter of degrees, of finding and developing the talent to squeeze the Tutts and Armfields out over time

My adolescent daughter used to stand in front of the mirror squeezing Tutts and trimming Armfields

 

[thylacine60]

Whitehead has to come into this somewhere.

 

[Brutalitops]

I still remember Armfield lightning through traffic in the dying seconds and lasering a pass to a bloke who hit the ****ing post from the goal square.

Goddammit Fev, you were on 99 goals ffs.

Moral of the story? Theres no moral, this is real life. But you do not get to compare Armfield with something that needs to be trimmed. He's still got that match winner, heart on the ****ing sleeve feel about him.

Love the campaigner. You can go take a long walk off a short pier therubbernub

Sheehan will be starting 22 this year- or injured again - bloke has massive ability.

 

[DangerousD]

Reckon Clem, DVR, Gowers, Whiley and Foster are among those almost certainly gone at the end of the year if they don't start showing more at VFL level

I hope Clem and DVR get another year, both are very young and can still build a career, a few guys who are worse than them to go first.

SOS too good for VFL

VFL not good enough for SOS.

 

[Robbo's my hero]

Well done Northern Blues. I take it Coburg aren't very good. 2 wins at this stage is an improvement. It must have been a great day for footy with that refreshing breeze hurtling through. Jaksch 4, Silvagni 3 will have them pushing for promotion. Graham and Tutt had a day out. 16 goals was a super effort as well.

I couldn't make the game today. I saw a garden themed attraction today 'The Little Shop of Horrors'.

 

[BALKAN]

How'd Korcheck go?

 

[Blue and Silver]

Out walker lamb in graham tutt

Why Lamb?

He was good last week, down this week but he has some runs on the board

 

[The Flying Doormat]

i chatted to Matt Dicks mum & dad too.

Biggus and Incontinentia?

 

[Iamcarlton]

Please god no more Tutt. Just a waste of a game we could be giving someone else. The guy gives his all no doubt but just not good enough.

Got to reward consistent good play he's been in the best most weeks I believe ? He's still young with pace to burn if only he could clean up the skill errors and indecision . Still worth a go for the rest of this year if doesn't work out then that's it . After all this is a development year yes ? Not many knocking the senior selection door down he's one of them that is .

 

[HBF]

Some good signs from players that needed to show something yesterday. Really hoping KJ gets a run this week.

 

[ctacp]

VFL not good enough for SOS.

Jo's too good for VFL crowds thats for sure.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

Thy chats with KJ's mum. Price of admission right there....

have you learnt her name yet?

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

KJ surely put enough good games together to be given a chance in the 1s.

 

[thylacine60]

have you learnt her name yet?

Only a Billion years ago...........

Jo's too good for VFL crowds thats for sure.

Burgundy puffy jackets are still puffy jackets...........

Jaksch had quite a few shots on goal in those highlights. Graham hit some centimetre perfect passes. SOS! Holy hell that was a long goal.

Thanks for posting that, very impressive.. Nicky G looks a standout from that and SOS just looks like an AFL player, i dont want to rush him in but he just looks ready.

 

[thylacine60]

Think his dad came into the team in 85? Anyone know how old he was and how many reserves games he played? Yeah I know, pointless comparison but I just want someone to answer the ****ing question!!!

All i can find out is he debuted round 7 1985, so probably didn't play all that many rerves games in total. He was just shy of 18 when he played first senior game.

Cheers, P_C. The similarities are there!!
