2017 Round 6: Pre game premonitions: Carlton vs Sydney

He drops so many marks he almost grabs. And thats in the 2's. Yes that will come with experience but leave him in the 2's for now imo

Wasn't dropping many last week. He took 10.

McKay had 10km up by 3/4 time last week. Tank is no issue. Like to run and get up the ground.

It takes an hour or so to jog 10kms. Constant running to present as a target on multiple leads requires a big tank. This kid can be our version of Joe Daniher but he will need to be able to run to our defensive end to present an outlet target and then work forward to present as a attacking target. This will come with time. Stick him in now and all we have is a lightweight marking target up forward.

I hope he ends up a lot better than that other bloke.

The other bloke played OK today, but it's hard to take him seriously with that moustache and horrible jumper.

[Amers]

I'm tipping Collingwood will be our next win, the game after this one.

Keep playing the kids, but give any sore or injured players a rest, the kids will get a real taste of what it is to play tough AFL footy against the Swannies.

Smashing kids and wearing out senior players is a recipie for disaster.

Watching the game it was clear he was up against a bunch of skinny defenders, his work rate was great but he must have dropped two for every mark he took. The NB Mids smashed Willi, he won't get that many opportunities at AFL level, and the hard running won't get him the space he needs for easier marks.

The bloke probably weighs in at near on 100kg.

Light weight?

I can't see any valid reason why he's not cherry ripe for senior selection.

Swans struggle for height down back too....

Not to mention kids learn nothing from senior games where they don't get their hands on the footy.

So why is it that many players dominate in the VFL and then fail, or leave alot to be desired, at AFL level?
