Howe, Grundy?

Don't correct me while I'm mid melt thanks

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Now if you could only fix our kicking......

The only way I could do that is by getting myself drafted. Not likely at my age.

I'm a terrible kick. Maybe I should chuck on the old north coburg jumper and colour my hair to get Derek's attention.

3 shocking turnovers but i like him

WHE should be our Goal Kicking Coach for the rest of the year.

This guy is a star, he showed when he played for GWS. All he need is getting on the park.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

He'll be a really good player for us this kid, it's a shame what he's surrounded by.

 

[Ketchup]

Absolutely killed us at a crucial time when we looked like taking control. Lucky he got on the end of a few nice things to bring his game back to ok.

What mistakes did he make? I must have missed it.

Kicked laterally from the wing to Schade in the centre in the 2nd quarter, ****ed up the kick, turnover, Tigers goal.

 

[ottoman]

Jeez I never realized just how quick he was. On a few occasions I saw him chasing a player who had a good 10-20 meter start on him and you could just see him eating up the gap between them with every stride.

 

[barrackers]

Good to see we've drafted a player with serious pace

Trade Actually. Pick 4 in the 2011 Draft.

Also lovely user of the Ball and Great Set Shot

I'm not sure you actually understand what really happened in that passage of play TRS. Being a mind reader let me explain it to you.
The problem was not actually a skill error per se. Just as WHE was about to kick it he realized who he was kicking it to and thought "schitt I better not kick it to him, he will simply spud it up" end result was a half kick as he wasn't able to pull back in time.

Good pick up for the club. Now if we can get Aish and Crisp out of their lions skirt and wack on a set of balls..

Cheers, drafted/recruited they're often used incorrectly as interchangeable terms. Normally I don't make such a technical language error, but I'm only working off 4 hours sleep today.

THANK GOD WE GOT THIS TRADE DEAL DONE SO OUR OFFSEASON WASN'T A COMPLETE DISASTER

We got rid of choke, whats your problem?

Yep. I did see that. He looked shocked when the ball left his boot as it was obvious that he shanked it and I get the feeling that doesn't happen to him too often!

The most amazing thing about that play was that after stuffing up that kick 60m out from Collinwood's goal and having Richmond intercept and rush it forward, Hoskin-Elliott was the one that nearly got a hand on Cotchin's kick as the ball as it sailed through for a goal!

Not only does he have serious toe, he seems to have great endurance too. A beautiful player to watch, just so balanced and a fantastic mark and reader of the football. Great instinct around goal too, and wonderfully skilled.

 

[rand corp]

Very good acquisition to the list and brings much needed pace and skill. Looking like a far better proposition than Aish or Broomhead already.

He was in the top 2 on the AFL Draft Combine in Speed and Endurance. Only Behind Brad Hil

 

[Premier Pies]

Liked his game very much.

Adds a touch of class to the team, not to mention some great pace! Excellent kick most of the time and a very good overhead mark.

There's not much to not like about the kid. Hopefully a future 150+ gamer for the Pies.

 

[TradeDraft]

Interesteling how he goes when coaches put more time to stopping him

 

[liquidbilliam]

Barring that turnover that really hurt, he was one of the silverlinings tonight. I hope he can continue to improve now that he has his chance to play consistent footy. He could end up turning into quite a steal.

Lightning quick has great hands to, could easily play out of FF.
