Was solid yesterday, and saved the game a couple of weeks back. Spoilt everything yesterday. Don’t get some people’s fascination with stats. Serong had a a lot of kick’s yesterday,but half nearly come from taking kick ins. He runs from the 50 meter line to take it.
I'd like to remind you that he is a Hawthorn listed player and is busting his gut trying to get better. Shit comment.If he ain't a gorilla, he ain't a full back, he's done for.
Waste of time, effort and a wasted top 10 pick thus far.
Tick flipping tock, Denver
I was replying to a comment that he might make ot as a full back. He won't. He hasn't made ot this far and time is running out, lucky to get a gig next year. But you keep being a simp for him if it helps you copeI'd like to remind you that he is a Hawthorn listed player and is busting his gut trying to get better. Shit comment.
He's 22 ffs. Still plenty of time lolI was replying to a comment that he might make ot as a full back. He won't. He hasn't made ot this far and time is running out, lucky to get a gig next year. But you keep being a simp for him if it helps you cope
Meanwhile.....Calsh is 18He's 22 ffs. Still plenty of time lol
Or maybe he is concentrating on that part of his game under the direction of his coaches. He is a great kick, so that is not the issue. Fitness might be an issue as you suggest. Definitely something he has to work on.The stats back up what can be clearly seen, Denver is very rarely part of any chain of play, he is either unable or unwilling to get into any sort of position to do anything other than spoil or mark. He could possibly make it as a full back if he were absolutely elite at spoiling and marking, but if you play anywhere else you need to be part of the chain moving the ball towards our goals.
Not taking a crap on anyone. Just stating that stats are very overrated. Anyone can take the kick outs and chip it around the back half and all of a sudden have 15 touches.Not sure why you're taking a crap on one of our other players to prop up Denver.
Makes you wonder why they dint let Denver take kick outs?Not taking a crap on anyone. Just stating that stats are very overrated. Anyone can take the kick outs and chip it around the back half and all of a sudden have 15 touches.
He's being told by the coaching unit to not do those things. It's been in the post game write ups frequently, he's being asked to stay on task and be accountable first.The stats back up what can be clearly seen, Denver is very rarely part of any chain of play, he is either unable or unwilling to get into any sort of position to do anything other than spoil or mark.

Itt will be interesting to see whether ZL is any happier with DGB's game when he next has something to say.He's being told by the coaching unit to not do those things. It's been in the post game write ups frequently, he's being asked to stay on task and be accountable first.

Sure, and when a fourth year player is still at this stage of development, it is obvious that coaches don’t think that he is able to do anything other than mark and spoil.He's being told by the coaching unit to not do those things.

Not at all. It's that they want him to find consistency doing the marking and spoiling before he tries to play off his man and do too much, which has been a problem so far.Sure, and when a fourth year player is still at this stage of development, it is obvious that coaches don’t think that he is able to do anything other than mark and spoil.
Each to their own, but you will find that lots of players get cheap kicks in the back half. It is not a skill with everyone.Well, can't agree.
When Amon gets a 'cheap' stat kickout it's worth absolute gold.
When Sicily gets a 'cheap' stat kickout it's worth absolute gold.
If Serong is running 50m to get back to take a kickout, it's because the coaches reckon he is super important to the side for his kicking skills.
And they're right, because he's got very nice kicking skills.
Also indicates he's got the tank to get back and still be available as a backman after the kick.
Also indicates he's a team player instead of looking for a cheap release kick from the fullback and willing to take the pressure that comes from taking the kickout.
You've absolutely butchered that call.
Anyone CAN'T take kickouts and chip it around the back half, it's a freakin skill mate.

very silly to raise Calsher. Calsher is definitely the exception rather than the rule re the development of tall players. You can’t be that thick surelyMeanwhile.....Calsh is 18
Ffs!!
