Toast Tom Sheridan

[Moist Biscuit]

Thought Sherro was awesome today, definitely hope we hold onto him at the end of the year, looks like he will be a good player in the future.

Agree. Great game. Has really good closing speed as well.

 

[Nickos66]

I keep mistaking him for Hill & vice versa, seeing side profiles of him bursting clear with the ball is playing tricks with my head! Trade him damnit!

 

[holy diver]

Good game. Certainly has potential.

Isn't it nice for a change that the Fremantle football factory seems to be turning out quality young players.

 

[Kepfan]

Sherro looking great at the moment got a lot of Hill in his kicking style Imo.

 

[E Shed]

Starting to look like he belongs. Very clean and classy.

 

[mike91]

Best game for the club. Need him & Michie to re-sign.

Sherro looking great at the moment got a lot of Hill in his kicking style Imo.

And running style. Is way ahead of Hill at a similar stage in his career in terms of confidence to attack the ball from what I've seen. I can see why RTB has confidence in him.

Big call.

 

[FyfesBoot]

Big call.

Big... that's the way I roll.

I really should cut down on trips to the bakery.

 

[Moist Biscuit]

If we can get Forster up and going, I would say that the 2011 national draft will end up being one of our best ever.

 

[mike91]

Can see Sheridan being best 22 next year.

Well gee, maybe because Sheridan has been developed the way a young player should, playing at a lower level for a year and a half, learning the game style, coming on as a sub, not being tagged.
As opposed to thrown in the deep end from game one as a skinny 18 year old and being monstered by the best stopper the oppo has from about game 10.

Agree, will probably never be as good as Hill but he glides across the field in the same fashion, has nice skills and good footy smarts. The question is now that we've given him quite a few consecutive games and he's starting to impact for longer do we stick with him for finals or will he have to make way for Ibbo/Clancee/Sutcliffe?

Yep, our player development has certainly come a long way in a short period of time. Shows the difference being a in strong side makes though.

 

[dexter_]

He actually reminds me a little of Nigel Lappin in the way he moves. Would be pleased if he got anywhere near that level

 

[Fred Ziffel]

It's a real shame Ross Lyon doesn't develop young players.

 

[StingBitten]

Been very critical of Sheridan but really liked him today; can understand the role he is meant to play now a bit better.

Settle E, I wasn't attacking Hilly. I simply see Sheridan more confident in his approach to the game at a similar stage to Hill. I understand Hill has always been put under pressure by the opposition and has also had injury issues. I don't see Sheridan as ever getting as good as Hilly, but it's going to be fantastic having two players of a similar style.

No worries. I'm a bit over-protective of Hill. He's my favourite player from the moment he was drafted and I get really steamed when people don't acknowledge the baptism of fire he went through during a tough time (easily the hardest initiation to AFL of anyone from his daft class).
Hill started with a fair bit of confidence pulling off dashing runs and long range goals but went back into his shell when he started getting bashed up every week.
Its so wonderful to see him getting his mojo back, kicking goals and side-stepping other players with ease.
And Sheridan looks all class at this stage.

 

[caterina]

Rising star nomination this round for sure for Tom

Absolutely. He's been particularly impressive from his 100th on.

Wait til we get Josh Simpson out there too.
It's a traffic jam of exciting talent.

I reckon Viney or Grundy will get it, but Sherro should be rewarded for consistency.
