Player Watch Pick #16 (2016) - Todd Marshall

[VineValerian]

Hot toddy looks like he believes in his ability now and it shows.

Our forward line looks better with MG, Todd and Finlayson than it has for years with Charlie..

Hesplayed 50 odd games now.
Starting to believe he belongs at the level now.

 

[dirty2]

Did well in a game which was one big cluster ****.

 

[Handyandy]

I've been a big critic, because he's been like a witches hat for so long. But that was a great game from Todd. I hope he's turned the corner and can maintain this form.

maintain his form? he is our best forward by a country mile.
no one is close to him.
dixon isnt fit to hold his handbag

I think Charlie served a purpose with drawing 2 or 3 every time. I know Todd prefers to play with Dixon. I always said I thought Todd would be our next Westhoff, I now think he’s going to be even better. He’s a smart player, cool head and a great shot at goal.

Thought he was our best tonight

Him and clurey

 

[Handyandy]

It's losers like you that have us being an 'almost team'. Smug pricks who are always right with the benefit of hindsight. We lost alot of close finals with young players that shouldn't have played. We lost a lot of important games with young players who were given too many chances. The fact that Marshall has strung a few games together in a row doesn't erase the fact that you had no idea which Todd Marshall would turn up 2017 - r3 2022. Hopefully that continues but to pretend the criticism was unwarranted is rubbish. Feel free to go back to posting 50 times a year you dickhead.

we lost alot of games because we had too much faith in washed up losers and not enough in our talented juniors.
i think this is what you meant to say. because of course, marshall is our best forward by a country mile dickhead

 

[Handyandy]

There in lies the rub. Have seen alot of shit calls on here re: SPP, Wines, Boak, etc and overtime people are just dishonest about making them. I'll be happy to say that pretty much everyone I have bagged this year is now in career best form, but all these smug duckers will puff there chests out when one of their pet projects does well and pretend like they're smarter than everyone else. Meanwhile if they were running the club Wingard and Polec would still be here, and Boak and Wines wouldn't be.

So in the spirit of giving the kiss of life into a player's career, Motlop is shit, he's always been shit, everyone with the surname Motlop is shit, Stephen Motlop I hate you.

one thing we can agree on is that motlop is shite

 

[Handyandy]

Enjoyed his game but dropping a chest mark and missing the unmissable still seems to be in his bag of tricks.

no that is more a boak/ dixon trick. of course only in the rare case they get into the correct position to miff it up.

 

[Handyandy]

its good to see the dickheads bagging marshall eat a bag of dicks.
go on.
eat dicks marshall baggers.
eat it up. love it. own it.

Todd has more potential as a permanent forward than Westhoff ever showed, after 2007.

todd is a proper chf.
he would have kicked 2-3 more if he wasnt trying to build dixon's confidence.

I was hoping I was going to spur him into action . Not even my powers are good enough to turn around that trainwreck.

lol nice work bumping a post from a month ago. My post is on the money. Good on him, he's finally looking the goods.

Is this you, Todd? lol 6 posts on this page alone.

Todd can do more than a permanent forward, that’s what’s makes him different to most.

 

[Powerage]

I've figured it out. You're an Australian diplomat who lives in China right?

I sure hope you are not an English teacher...

 

[Adz2332]

People really forgot how young he is / was. break out year and still only 23.

was our only forward again last night. brilliant marking to

 

[JimmyBC]

Could've kicked a few more last night, missed a soda (though he was probably due for one) & dropped two marks he'd swallow most of the time.

It's about the only enjoyment this year watching him grow in confidence & bloom.

 

[Wargreymon90]

I had no issue with Marshall’s criticism over the last few years as they were warranted.

But I don’t understand the discounting of good performances when he’s shown clear signs of improvement. Like do you want him to bad?

is the one truly positive thing to come out of 2022 thus far. 2022 is all about Toddy.

Are you okay bro? I'm sure we can find the number of someone to help.

With a little bit of SPP on the side

Persisting with Marshall despite the slow build up, with up and down games, that all young KPF's have (outside generational freaks like Buddy and N. Reiwoldt) is one of the few selection decisions gotten right the last few years.

For all those who've bagged Marshall's selections in previous years, THIS is why you keep playing young KPF's at the top level, even as they contribute little. Marshall is the only young KPF across over a decade the coaches have given a run of games to, whether contributing 'enough' or not. With it unsurprisingly that Marshall is our only young KPF across over a decade that now contributes at a consistent level (we still love you Butch!).

Marshall's step up this year makes dropping MG for a small all the more an obvious glaring mistake. Even if he was missing his set shots, our forward line looked best this year with Marshall, MG and Finlayson, after the first few weeks, for them to gel (and Finlayson to obviously get past the shit news around his wife).

 

[Dutchy5150]

Like it or not, Hinkley has to be credited for sticking with him when most wouldn't of. He obviously saw his potential early.. You could see always see it. Just took a little while to surface.

Imagine if the club listened to the Genius' here. Marshall would be playing in Vic right now...

 

[jonasshirtfront]

At the start of the year I got Todd in the buddy draft and was happy to hand him off because I didn't have any faith in him, but I was wrong. He's a huge chance to kick it anywhere in the forward 50 from a set shot, he's got a great set of hands and that marking craft to read where the ball is dropping, make contact with his man and then move to the ball and take it. He just looks like he's walking taller and much more sure that he belongs. He's pretty much the lone highlight from this season so far.
