Josh Saunders

[S.A Saint]

Rated this kid when we drafted him due to his speed and run.. Obv his disposal isnt the greatest but i think he just needs to slow down and compose himself instead of trying to kick the leather off the ball.. We are crying out for his type in midfield and im really interested to see how he goes today.

[WinnersOnly]

Agreed like Minchington he has most of the tools to make it and definitely worthy of further development...

[maverick]

Disappointing he is the sub, would like to see him get a full game.

[S.A Saint]

Shame that he starting as a sub. Hopefully gets a chance over the few weeks gets a couple of full game to get a bit of confidence going into the pre seaon.

[gringo]

I like Josh I hope he has a blinder when he comes on He has some talent.

[Long Term Injury]

LIke to see him get a whole game, but i havent been blown away with the second half (though not only him)

[Kick-it-lace-out]

Absolute spud. What's worse, they completely disrespected Robert Harvey by giving him #35

A bit harsh.

Clearly not up to Afl standard but I'm sure Harvey would have no problem with Saunders wearing his old number.

[skeptic]

I think that's a bit silly.

A quarter n a bit doth not a player make... And a lot on the youngins are simply not suited to the sub role. Coming on as impact players is more appropriate for guys like Ray, Schneider, even Savage etc that have the weapons and r ready to go.

Not for guys like Saunders, Wright, Acres who are still working their way into the team

plus one

[S.A Saint]

Cant judge him on a quarter and a bit esp when we were getting killed in the centre. Needs to play out the rest of the season

Don't think he will get the chance.

[saint6709]

I don't know how many guys of his size a team can play - I think he is behind Weller, Sinclair , Lonie, and probably Curren

[Junction Oval]

Not much to him from my perspective. He doesn't look like he has enough natural talent to me, but it is still early days I suppose. A few more games will tell a lot more.

Think Sinclair may have a rest this week, has been bruised and baater the last month or so. Lonie is still out for a week or two.

Need to get games into him and see how he and a few others go becuase i can see a fair few players being on the chopping bloke next season if they cant string 15 or so next season.

[Old Mate]

Pretty much your standard amateur level footy player

[perfectionist]

Alas, he's not even good enough to be a dud.

[Teflon]

Pretty much your standard amateur level footy player

yup

[Bernard Shakey]

Really surprised he was given a game, hasn't been setting the world on fire at Sandy.
Having said that, we need to play the kids to see what they can do. We can't keep them all.

[Goose is king]

His first quarter of AFL for the year and people right him off.
He just needs to get the speed of the game and composure.
I know he is not elite by foot but his pace may be a handy offensive and defensive asset in the future.
20 years old give him some more time.

[borderbarry]

He has got speed, so I dont understand how he gets caught with the ball so often.

Right. Give him a couple more and then we'll be comfortable letting him go. Same probably applies to Minch though he's more handy for mine.

[plugger66]

Thread started well and then went downhill. Might not be good enough but whats the point of knocking the guy. Knock the selectors or the recruiters. Anyway people want the young kids to get a chance and he did.

[matrix]

yeah
a lot of threads start well then go down hill....for some reason


plenty of pace, ticker and determination, dont rate the kicking myself
will be lucky to make the cut

[skeptic]

Less than half a game is a chance then?
