Heater's never been fast and he's never looked like an athlete. Yet he's always looked like a gun footballer. DeGoey is in the same class with more speed and a superior running style. Not sure what you're worried about.watt price tully wrote:I've always said there are two opinions in this world: my ones & wrong ones.stui magpie wrote:Interesting.

Last night would have been a great experience for him. I'm still yet to be convinced that he is a no. 5 pick but I'm hoping he will prove me wrong.

TBH I'm surprised to read that as the times I've seen JDG pace has not been one of his attributes.
Seedsman is fast & can be fast.
JDG is a footballer rather than an athlete in that type of dichotomy despite his relatively late entry to AFL footy as a kid. He's a natural footy player in many respects, knows where the ball is. I don't think of him as a speedster though.

In the 3rd Qtr he sped away from a pursuing tackler and screwed teh ball across to Blair who took a mark and goaled. JdG's ability to do that was pure pace. So his foot speed is more than fine. He has looked slow to react to teh pressure at AFL Level, occasionally, but most new arrivals do that til they get used to it.Member 7167 wrote:I think his natural talent and hardness will limit any adverse effects of his speed issue.watt price tully wrote:Does some nice things, did some nice things but he's a bit slow from what I've seen & doesn't get too many touches.

I think that he will be a genuine A greader when he comes of age.
Two more flags before I die!

Has all the tools and a sensational attitude towards his team mates and in particular the coach.
Starting to get the feel of the AFL game now and is starting to relax enough to do some truly NICE things, like contesting a mark then hitting the ground and twisting away to kick a running goal. Last night was another glimpse with a growing vision and decision making bank - he absolutely nailed that screw accross the body to give Blair his chance.

That screw kick he did to Blair was harder than it looked, at full pace under pressure with a slippery ball, was very impressive, and damn, I'm not even sure what foot he kicks with naturally, if he did that on his opposite then WOW!!

Showed great vision too.Deja Vu wrote:When he kicked it to Blair he actually goose stepped. It wasn't pace that got him past the defender it was guile.
Can't teach that. He's not a speedster but he's not slow either.
Going to be really good. In the Selwood mould IMO
Dear Scum, we'll see your Cribbs and raise you a Degoey!!!

He's natural right foot and that kick was with his left iirc.Defender wrote:That screw kick he did to Blair was harder than it looked, at full pace under pressure with a slippery ball, was very impressive, and damn, I'm not even sure what foot he kicks with naturally, if he did that on his opposite then WOW!!
I was completely sold on him and saw a future A grader or better after watching him in the vfl in Bendigo against Geelong.
He hasn't played vfl since.
He does have Fyfe elements to his game.

Was barely sighted in the first half but had an improved second half.
We all know he has genuine talent and is hard at it but naturally for a first year player is a fair way off the player he'll eventually become.
Competition for spots is only going to get hotter from here so he'll do well to remain in the side over the next month.
