He still managed to win 9 Contested possessions, the same as J Steven, so I don't think I can write him off just like that

Caleb Daniel can jump too. I couldn't believe my eyes when he spoiled a mark against 2m Jake Carlisle from behind!Joffa Burns wrote:Lonnie is worth retaining to see how he goes once his body is fully developed.
He is hard at it but lacks a bit of composure.
He is not in Daniel's class, the only comparison is height.
Daniel is very good with lateral movement, composed in congestion and hits targets between 20-40 meters.
Also reads the ball brilliantly at stoppages.
Minch & Wright are not AFL footballers IMO.
Sincs has surprised me, he is a classy finisher and playing reasonable football.

That was cost us 8 goals that we should of as a team kicked. So you add the goals onto our score and not deduct from Norths.
Now if I has said that they gave North 8 goals.....
PS: all three has disposal efficincies of just over 50% which is dismal for small forwards.

Re: Just as I predicted
It wasn't a set shot Lonie missed, it was a set shot an Auskick kid would have got, gee imagine the uproar on here if that was Paddy!!!!! Double Standards Posting!!!!!
Not UN-common by some here though, Lonie also got many of his touches when the game was cooked and the pace went out of it!!!!!
But each to their own!!!!!

He played for that free like Joel Duckwood.

Re: Just as I predicted
I reckon keep Lonie for now.
He's clearly not ready for senior football and might not be this season but at the same time is nearly a cut above Sandy.
Let him develop for another year and occasional put a foot in the water

Lonie is worth persevering with.
He shows glimpses and definitely has something to offer.

Thought Lonie did ok - just choked in front of goal again. He needs to get a lot stronger and work on his speed, but has a future IMO.

Re: Just as I predicted
If I'm a paddy whacker, aren't you a lonie whacker? Perhaps you are not a true loyal sainted if you dare criticise a young player?!
Paddy missed what, 3 last week and kicked 0 as the main key forward?
Paddy is a 194cm 95kg number 1 draft pick
Lonie a 174cm 72kg number 41 draft pick
I reckon the expectations are slightly different, don't you??
Lonie may have missed a simple set shot... everyone has... perhaps to see if he is a poor kick in general terms
Look at his goal kicking in the VFL at a windy TBBO
He has kicked plenty of goals, to go with his dominance in the midfield
Pressure of the big stage gets to him at the moment because he doesn't feel at home at the level yet. He has all the tools, but not yet the confidence.

The set shot was quite close in, should never miss those.

Re: Just as I predicted
What can be said is that over years all of Lonie, Minchington and Wright have had plenty of chances to consolidate
I do not accept the excuse that they are disadvantaged by being played "out of position"
They are being advantaged by receiving the opportunities they have received
And on the cusp we have Freeman plus 2 First Round Draft picks - and that improves our List
Ditto with Longer
The fact that players are being given repeat opportunities highlights the weakness in our List - acknowledging that injuries can give opportunity
In terms of Dunstan I have never viewed him as "slow", although his inside grunt work means he is a feeder not the fed so he sets up the player heading off with the ball
And for all the criticism on here he has taken on a significant responsibility in the very early stages of his career
We only had he and Armitage as inside mids doing the grunt work to release or force another ball up - hence Steele and Stevens and now the emergence of Ross
Now we need that support for Number 3 - so bring on Freeman as the remainder of this season evolves
And Sinclair, who has also had multiple opportunities, is showing what Lonie, Minchington and Wright have to deliver to consolidate

Re: Just as I predicted
Gee BM has an issue with Paddy
But supports Longer!!!
McCartin will become central to the success of our Club once he gets on the park consistently
He will only improve - and rapidly
Needs a 22 game AFL season
And then watch him go to one of the most potent power forwards in the competition
And then there is Bruce!!!
