Opinion Jake Averillo

[CrittaMagic69]

He looks dead average because he is in this team. Just like Toomaga looked absolute dogs hit today. Guess what? If we signed AFB to a big contract hed look shit playing behind Tolman, off JMK and all the rest of the crew that get the ball, too.

There's a reason why your favorite coach said what he said about him, because he's good.

AFB wouldn't look shit, he might not be as effective but defenitely not shit.

 

[Qdog]

He is far too dynamic and has too much spark in attack.

Lewis can tackle so he is better, our win record with Lewis is better as well.

What win record ?

 

[2144superman]

I hope we are able to offload 90% of this team, no one playing out there today deserved to wear that jersey

 

[CaptainJackson]

yeah but can't tackle for shit shirt grabbing like rest of the useless pricks fuckin embarrassing !!!!!!!!!

Are you guys kidding?

The KID is 19 years old. JT and barba also were short grabbers until they had enough experience and training in 1st grade

 

[Haddaway]

A player on that money isn't allowed to look average... the only way we get out of this mess is to buy players that're going to revitalise the team...

My original point is he is not allowed to in this system.

Did you watch Toomaga today? Did you see what happened to him? He got ZERO good ball. He ran decoys all day for plod central. That is whats happening to Thompson.

THAT has nothing to do with money. That is all the coach, the system and the holy trinity of ball hogs Jackson, JMK and the Tolman.

The Plodmuda triangle:

JMK
Jackson
Tolman

Our attack disappears once it enters the Plodmuda triangle.

Averillo will develop into a good running 6.
He's come from Jersey Flegg, a few games of reserve grade into 1st grade being played out of position in a wooden spoon team as a 19 / 20 year old kid.
Give him some time to develop under some decent coaching and he'll be a club favourite.

The kids has got potential in attack but needs more ball and players that can actually play RL ... however the kid needs to learn how to defend big time, but I'm confident he'll get better with more game time HOPEFULLY ... go the DOGGIESSSS!!!

 

[finchie]

How many tackles Chris smith miss or “not lay a finger on”
Get the Fcuk off the kids back
Go give it to the nupties like Jackson smith tolman Reimis smith Meaney etc whom are definitely leading by eg arent they

Meaney missed hoppa jnr 4times alone in the second half cold

HE has got some skillz and speed but is lost when it comes to defending

 

[SLushY]

Really it’s hard to find consistency in both attack and defence when you’re being shifted all over the park and every second you’re defending in a different position with different reads coming at you constantly, is he a poor defender yes but it’s hard to be good when you’re told a different thing every week

I agree bro. JMK has no vision, game awareness and consistently takes poor options. This becomes worse when we are in the attacking zone.

 

[GDR]

People need to get the fuck over halves needing to be good defenders.. Maloney was one of the worse the defenders in the comp, regularly topping the missed tackles count every year. But he was also one of the best halves in the comp for over a decade and the success of his teams proves it..

 

[shannon2009]

His defence was no worse than Chris smiths efforts or Lachlan Lewis over chasing Harper and Evans all night leaving gaping holes back on the inside

 

[GDR]

Everyone wants to talk about missed tackles, how about his other stats for his FIRST GRADE DEBUT in the halves.....

2 try assists
2 tackle breaks
1 line break assist
75 running metres
30 post contact...

Telling only half a story helps people's narratives..

As far as I'm concerned, that's impressive stats for a half on debut in the spoon side...

 

[Chris Harding]

Just a kid Barrett will put polish on him

A good coach would have addressed his issues, and put him into first grade when he was ready, - with players prepared to help him. We just throw kids to the wolves.

 

[Haddaway]

I like him. He looked to be gettinf the Toomaga treatment there for a bit. No one would pass him the ball .

Jmk to busy trying to set up Tols and Jacko for one out barge over trys. Then master class Lewis has a show and not go haha.

 

[B-Train]

I don't know why so many fans are death riding the only genuine top line talent at the club. We've had nothing to get excited about for three seasons.

We finally have a player who shows flashes of brilliance and all people want to do is question his defence, which isn't as bad as people suggest especially for a kid defending in the halves for the first time.

 

[Natboy]

Twist what - facts?
You’re the SuperCoach with all the answers, you should know that the coach heads the footy department under the Head of Football (ie: reports to Price). The board do not get involved in week to week selections, but they do get involved when a player such as Harper requests a release and has to be replaced. Blame Price, blame Pay, blame SG, blame Antonelli - but it’s not on the board.

Don’t waste your time on her mate.
She knows everything and if you repeatedly prove her wrong she’ll just swear at you or block you

When Lockyer went into 5/8, his tackling wasn’t great and he was targeted. So Skeletor simply made Toni Carroll his hitman...anyone that tried to run at Lockie got smashed by Carroll.
