Player Watch Tew Jiath

[JuniorB]

Congrats to Jiath for getting 3 coaches votes from one of the coaches last weekend in the VFL. I'm very excited to see how he develops throughout this year.

He's still raw, but I think he will be a jet.

This is very good for TJ. I love players that leave no stone unturned when it comes to improving themselves.

It's hard not to get excited about how good he can become.

Would definitely like to see him kicking for distance because on that footage he has an abnormally short follow-through. Granted, it’s an improvement on what it was.

I’ve been following enhanced footy for a little while and some of the analysis is fantastic. I have to admit when I was gliding through there was no way I would have picked that as the action of a pro. I suspect like you that a larger follow through might improve things at greater distance (he did some analysis on Houston recently which was a thing of beauty), but the overstepping on kicks like that might then rear its head. Two things struck me.

1. The balance arm is a lot less pronounced than you normally see of someone at this level.
2. The average punter really needs to forget skill level in underage footy.

If they’re matching it physically against guys with top end talent and able to make good decisions this stuff can be fixed.

When I saw the clip I thought of you straight away. Line analysis

Watched it a few times. Looks like his weight has moved forward. Not leaning back.
It’s an improvement but not ground breaking

TJ needs to add more Penetration on his Medium to Long Kicks are mostly Up and Unders

TJ had some really special moments today. Definitely showed potential for defensive spoils and speed that were a cut above the other players out there.

I thought his kicking was pretty good. In the last quarter the ball was definitely hanging to the grandstand end, where I was sitting in the forward pocket

The kid isn't setting the world on fire right now but still showing plenty of signs he might turn out being a gem in couple of years.

 

[rand corp]

Plenty to like with this kid

 

[Cyclops]

Be great if Jiath had his first game this weekend (not wishing injury on any of the boys of course).

Congratulations TJ

Great reward for an excellent start to TJ's VFL career. A very well deserved debut.

Go Tew!
I really like this kid - he's still raw but he's got the tools to be a star.
He'll probably be sub.

No doubt he's totally consumed by a different debutant this week..

looking forward to watching this young fella.

 

[pablo disco bar]

They are just playing him

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Tew is now, and I predict he will wow.

 

[Horaceg]

I don’t think Tew will feature much if at all, definitely won’t dominate….




………the whipping boy thread

 

[manicpie]

Amazing effort Tew, I always thought he looked too good for VFL.

 

[jimmy35]

Exciting news for TJ, looking forward to seeing him play.

 

[whiskeytown]

Good leap with good timing, slick movement when in possession

… long kicking a bit helicopter at times as others have pointed out

But short to mid kicking sound from what I’ve seen… and hopefully he already knows what kick to go for - and when

Good week to debut him as north have Larkey and a resting ruckman in Teakle… then no other real big body targets that would easily out body a lean TJ

Good luck to the kid

Where the debut vid!
