Guest Gotzy15 Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 For me there are 3 blokes I desperately want playing in the latter part of the year. The first one is Strauss. I have really high hopes for this kid. Loved the role he played down back last year prior to his injury. Is combative, reads the play well and his kicking is certainly in the elite category. If we can get the ball in his hands we will be able to utilise the switch more effectively and improve on our continuing problem with kick outs and kicking through or over good forward presses (eg pies,wce) Second is Gysberts. I think this one will be a star. Have always been a big wrap for his work in close and if he can put on some weight I think he could become one of the best clearance players in the comp! Has an incredible ability to extract the ball at stoppages,knows how to find plenty of the footy and can get a bit of the pill on the outside as well which could be valuable for us. The final one is cook. I'm not sure if he will make it as an afl player but surely a no 12 draft pick has some ability! Would be good to see him get some game time and some confidence at afl level. Thoughts????
Ricky P 757 Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 GYSBERTS!!!! This kid is a gun. Was it 26 touches in his first game at Kardinia Park!
Moonshadow 17,678 Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I know Magner is mature aged and a hard body, but I think he may need another rest in a month or so. Its a long season for a first yearer I wonder if any other players will get a further rest at some point, eg T McDonald.
daisycutter 30,027 Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Gysberts and Strauss would hardly be "blooding" which is, I thought, what this thread was about Would like to see what Cook, Couch and Davis could do at senior level sometime this year

DeeZee 7,496 Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Gysberts is a star in the making, has the best hands in the club. Obvious replacement for a struggling moloney. And I'd rather see petterd in the forward line than Magner
mauriesy 7,445 Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I know Magner is mature aged and a hard body, but I think he may need another rest in a month or so. Its a long season for a first yearer Another rest? He hasn't had one yet ... played all 12 games. He's a fit, hard body. I don't think he's in the same category as a normal first-year player. Some of this 'rest' stuff is piffle. You might need a 'rest' if your body is getting sore, or knocked up and bruised. But you don't necessarily need a rest just from the physical workload ... the effects of training and play are cumulative and you just keep getting fitter and better. A 'rest' can be negative.
Maldonboy38 6,447 Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Gysberts and Strauss to get 5 - 8 games each. Lucas Cook if Jurrah can't get fit Troy Davis has already earned a callup and I can't understand why he hasn't got a run yet.

I think he meant rest as in "had the week off with the bye".
BAMF 4,488 Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I will be happy if Strauss gets through the rest of the year at Casey injury free. His 2013 preseason starts now. Bail is a concern. did anyone read the match review in the age? He has been unable to pass concussion tests since the blues game! Scary stuff. Would love to see Cook get one or two games at the end of the ebd of the season
