Preview Trial game - Crows V Port - 5pm Friday 23 Feb at Alberton Oval

[MrBarry]

Nah, they weren't being kicked over his head - he was running under them. Anticipating contact with Alir. I wont labour the point, and I hope he does toughen up a bit, but right now, he's just a little contact averse in aerial contests.

I don't necessarily need or want RT clattering into packs likely injuring himself in the process.

He is a smarter player than that, can contest without being reckless.

Then we should take him out of ruck

He looked very comfortable in this match.

Saw Thilly on Rundle st on the weekend. Seriously still looks like a kid despite putting on a few KGs, so much room to grow wouldnt expect him to hit his peak for 3 years. Also they might not be Naughton style pack crashers but all our key forwards have sublime skills gonna be a treat watching this year.

Have had similar said about myself

He took 4 contested marks ( 3 on Alir/ Esava)

For context Curnow lead league last year with 2.6 per game

He was the best tall forward on the ground and was in our top 3 players on the ground

Not bad for a 21 yo tall …. Also it’s a month of big performances in training / match sim and now trial against oppo

Definitely some progression

I also liked Mark Keane’s quote about him , who’s seen him up and close

It would be more accurate of his ( or anyone’s) skill to see what the percentage is rather than raw contested marks.
I like TT he has enormous talent for a big guy below the knees and he always looks to play on quickly. He did drop a few easy marks though, hopefully that will be rectified

I reckon there’s a few people underrating his contested marking ability

Consistency and confidence can elevate it much further

 

[Crow till I die]

What a lovely guy..glad he reached out after he sniped Keane

 

[Coopers]

Rather than do just contested marks, I've put together a short video of all his "involvements". Sorry about the quality, I had to zoom in so you could see him. Also I did it all in slo-mo.

Seemed much better with his tapwork on the boundary line throwins, than other ones.

Still nice to see him clunking those marks. Those ones he dropped... a few pretty dubious arm chops really. He got the hands right there.

I see he is following the Maynard playbook of what to do after you concuss an opposition player.

Maynard reaches out to Brayshaw following sickening incident

The Collingwood defender's act is understood to have been received well.

He must have hit him really hard. SPP said he rang but couldn't understand a word he said

lol at those saying they are getting JJ vibes from TT.

TT will be our best player within 3 years - and that’s saying something when you have the likes of Rankine and Dawson in their prime then.

Don't misquote me, my comment was in relation to his contested marking. He clearly has plenty of skills and will be an asset, I just don't think it will be as a contested marking forward.

 

[jenny61_99]

And if we were dominating it’d be a sure sign of superiority. We’ve got people complaining about umpiring errors, it’s remarkable.

We complain about player errors, why can’t we complain about umpire errors?

 

[cleanhands]

We complain about player errors, why can’t we complain about umpire errors?

We complain about everything

 

[ABAB]

We complain about everything

When you got bias Port Power commentators questioning the free for Port Power then you know how awful the umpiring was.......

 

[Coopers]

We complain about everything

We even complain about the complaining

 

[cleanhands]

We even complain about the complaining

So stop complaining

Took you long enough Mary

Edit : notice you didn’t post where I gave him credit, but you tend to read what you want

So stop complaining

Then this place would just be...

He’s hardly a troll

It’s not really saying anything until it’s actually happened.

He already averages significantly more contested marks per game than Jenkins did over his career, and he's nowhere near his prime. Not sure this one checks out.

JJ vibes is a proper LOL

Have ‘bookmarked’ that one and certainly won’t let him forget

Just doesn’t really play anything like him

Completely contrasting styles

It was a weird comment by the poster
