Kicks goals too.
I assumed he can't find the ball because I agree that combination of traits is usually much more highly rated.

He’s listed at 182cm and he seems at least that tall to me, maybe he’s grown. Not really any issues with 180+ mids I don’t think as you said about McKercher. I’m probably getting ahead of myself on him and I think I don’t rate production as high as I should
Ahahaha heh heh....Me “patiently” waiting for The Vid God to upload the video
Still uploading lol. My internet sucks comparatively.
I think while that's still happening I might try and set up a livestream to it to sate that desire
Cooking some hot dogs right now but I'll post a link somewhere between 7:30 and 8

Pretty much a six footer and too small for the midfield. Things have changed.

If that first bit of footage of Fyfe in the highlights vid isn't enough to make you feel a bit funny then something is wrong with you. That was some peak Fyfe.

He leads up to the kicker well and when he kicks for goal he kicks through the ball strongly and accurately. He is a solid unit too.
I didn’t see him tackle today , that’s not to say he didn’t, just that it was often very hard to make out different players. He is definitely tall enough for the third tall role .
What his pace and agility I honestly can’t tell based on today.
I agree when he is playing his best, Brayshaw is our best mid in terms of bursting forward out of a stoppage, he would be wasted on a wing

I reckon the re-emergence of Brodie and injury to Chapman is more likely to see Young back to the backline

Thanks for response. Ive only seen him train once where he impressed me with his mobility.
Literally 0% chance.
You don't spend 98% of pre season training Young as a midfielder, just to send him back at the very first hurdle. That's the definition of weak coaching, it would be unbelievably stupid.
Youngs days as a defender should be over now
Thank you to everyone who's posting videos, comments, and pics.
I've realized my excitement for Dogga is off the charts. As I was watching the highlights, every time he touched the ball, I got freaking excited. I think he's going to be the difference maker this year (assuming Darcy stays healthy) as our forward/ruck. He'll have to draw the #1 tall, which means Amiss and JT get the sloppy seconds and thirds. Amiss to kick 50+ goals this year, with Jackson north of 40. I also think he'll be key up the ground in our transition from defense.
How the f*** will teams defend this? Maybe the defenders could stand on each other's shoulders...
Seriously, if this doesn't get you up and about, you need to check your pulse! My man crush is full on for this guy.

If he can grow a few cms/have a late growth spurt it may one of our second round picks in years.
We can tell from your profile pic!!Thank you to everyone who's posting videos, comments, and pics.

Purple Jesus
not jess
He wasn’t playing as the extractor, Will Brodie was. What a silly comment.
Andy was playing inside mid, which was your initial comment
He attended 76% of CBA's in that season (our highest)
Purple Jesus
not jess
We got absolutely belted every time AB was the main guy at CBA. As demonstrated again at today’s match sim.
I was thinking this, a little Oscar Allen style late growth on him would be glorious.
Would be the steal of the century

I’m my mind there are 3 distinct roles when playing “inside mid”
1. Extractor - see ball get ball, draw a crowd and dish to a teammate.
2. First receiver - blocks to create space for extractor, receives dish from extractor, drives out of the stoppage, if cannot get clear dishes to teammate.
3. Defensive/second receiver - stopping the opposition’s most dangerous mid (not always their extractor) then spreading hard once we’ve got the ball to get on the outside.
Our 3 best extractor’s are Fyfe, Brodie and Serong, Serong in my mind is also our best 1st receiver, so having all 3 in the same team (white) was very unfair on Purple.
IMO Andy is very good at the 1st receiver and defensive roles, but without a decent extractor supplying the ball will struggle. It doesn’t mean he’s a bad inside mid, he’s just not the best at any of the 3 roles.

Yep.
Dude was either injured, or returning from injury all last year. Never really got going. Yet still could turn games.
Going to be a breakout this year.
