is a flat track bully, can’t do this against a top 4 team. Only doing this against a depleted dogs outfit, wouldn’t get a kick if Bont was playing!

Definitely Todd's break out game. Hopefully he can tear the Roos apart next week.

 

[Handyandy]

Flat track bullying is a good call for tonight. And it's great to see him out there doing that.

And he's being competitive against tougher opposition too.

yeah, its a great sign when someone can put a slightly below average opponent to the sword.
good on finlayson. i have given him some time and its paid off.

 

[Chrizzt]

Beat up on a crap defence just as he should. Some good signs for his competitiveness the last few weeks

 

[Us against the rest]

A good game by Todd, probably the best I have seen him play, well done.
Imagine how good he could be with a real coach.

 

[Handyandy]

where are the turds calling for marshall to never play an afl game again?
strangely absent

 

[Duckimus Prime]

yeah i am super happy we have a kpf who can smash a slightly below average defender.
that is the sign of an up and coming afl champ

Think about having one that can't.

 

[Harlott]

The only thing wrong with MG's game currently is his goal kicking.

Totally this but something about bad kicking = bad football.

hot toddie has already had 4-5 breakout games. this is an affirmation game for him.
affirmation he is a classy afl kpf.
affirmation that those who headhunted him are idiots.
affirmation that those who had belief in him were indeed right

kicking can be corrected
being a loser cant be

 

[Incarnate]

Marking his territory

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Took command of the forward line today.

 

[Handyandy]

As much as the people on here hate it, SPP and Boak up forward adds heaps to the forward defensive pressure. Cycling through Butters, Wines, SPP, Motlop, and Boak as the 2 small forwards still provides plenty of pressure when Georgiades gets around the ground like a small. The way georgiades is playing atm, I wouldn't even call him a KPF. He's playing as a mid sized forward and with improvement he could be more valuable in a Pavlich type role. 3+3 is a normal forward set up especially with, as you say, Marshall and Dixon as very mobile talls.

he is playing like fritsch but not finishing his work

Flat Track Bully!! - that makes him a Perfect Port Player - seriously, he's coming of age. Go Toddy.

 

[PepeSilvia]

Hot Toddy

 

[Handyandy]

Have been super critical of Marshall's lack of aggression & intent at the ball but his last 3 weeks have been really good. Best game I've seen him play. What flicked the switch?

confidence, self belief

 

[backtozero]

He's not the first forward to get the yips and won't be the last. Its fixable.

 

[VineValerian]

His confidence has really lifted these past few games.
Getting closer to 50 games experience and starting to feel like he belongs at the level now.

I was a fan after seeing him star in a couple of SANFL games early on. Then the double tragedy with his parents could have broken him completely.

His form, confidence and appetite seemed to disintegrate and I believed that he was practically out the door this season.

Credit to him, he's made me eat my words recently. So pleased for him and what he had to go through.

Keep it going Todd

 

[Macca19]

The way he almost single handedly took control of that third quarter and put us in control was Tredrea like. He's had some good games in his career, but we haven't yet seen him do that and really wrestle a game into our grasp, until now. Great to see.

 

[robbo1981]

Rapt for this lad keep it going young man

 

[1954]

Good to see the lad delivering on his early promise, its taken a while but let's not forget he lost both parents while still a teenager, and both went within only a few months of each other.

 

[rogerjames]

was a great kick. i now have zero confidence when mitchy g is having a shot and high confidence when it's hot toddy. what a turnaround.

Georgie has the yips unfortunately

 

[longdonkey]

Seriously anybody who has hate for Todd at the moment is just full of spite and can't accept that they are wrong.

He’s getting further away from 50 games every week.

Georgiadis, case in point.
