Oppo Camp Other Clubs News/General Discussion

Port fans think he is quite stiff, given talls take time and playing in a poor team.

Adelaide footy media is nuts. Because there's only two teams, those teams get a heap of focus and their draftees get a heap of exposure. Lots of puff pieces on Tom last year. So supporters think they've drafted a ripper and him not touching it at SANFL gets ignored. I think it would have been a pretty easy decision for Port to delist him.

Not sure if this has been discussed before but Eddie's son Joe is doing well over in the US as a college punter. It's funny to hear how much he sounds like his dad!

But is there another Collingwood connection? He features in this video with Nick McLarty. Anyone know if he's related to Sam? It's a fairly uncommon surname. He's also a massive unit, especially for a punter... 204cm, 115kg!

Check it out:

Back around maybe 89 or 90, Eddie played a few games for the Crocs(the social team) at Old Xavs. Fat and slow, but he was a booming kick.

Punting for Ohio State is a pretty big deal. They’re the no. 2 ranked college in the country for NCAAF right now and a championship contender. They also have probably the best wide receiver in college football playing for them.

Has anyone ever played Punter / Tight End before?

Tight end sounds painful, I'm going to say no

Tay Tay's boyfriend Travis Kelce is a tight end, and a bloody good one.

Think it would be like asking a 100m runner whether he felt like trying out pole vault. Once you found out you are a decent TE, you ain't lowering yourself to punt. But who knows, it surely has happened at a high school or two?

TEs are generally expected to be able to block; the “tight” in the name indicates they line up close to the end of the offensive line, so they have to be able to protect the QB against 280lb, incredibly fast/athletic pass rushers. That’s not something aussie rules players are native to.

Of course, the exceptional pass catchers like Travis Kelce are rarely asked to block because they are more valuable running routes downfield, but there aren’t too many of those. The very best TEs do everything, like Rob Gronkowski of the Brady-era Pats or George Kittle of the 49ers.

Gronk was the man

Some rugby players have converted to NFL, but it's nearly impossible for former hookers to become tight ends.

Other faves, in no particular order: Gonzalez, Gates, Christensen, Winslow, Witten, Casper.

Gates and Gonzalez were wonderful. Of the more pure pass-catchers I liked Shannon Sharpe and Jimmy Graham a whole lot too.

Could also describe Stewie Dew!!

 

[gouki88]

He's a solid 30-40 goal/year forward. I like watching him play

If you feel that strongly about it, Scully has been delisted by Port Adelaide.

And gave boak another year @ 36 years old coming off 3 direct goal turnovers in a prelim..
