Player Watch #43: Derek Eggmolesse-Smith

[Genghis Tron]

His time at Richmond is ova.

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Agree, just though he wouldn't really attack the footy and hovered too much.

Yep.The Port game, His timidness stoodout like a sore thumb.

 

[Genghis Tron]

A beautiful kick

This isn't the Shorty thread mate.

I know he is on the fringe and he had things to work on but tbh I would have kept with over garth/miller, we still need the hbf depth (as shown at the start of this year & houli cant play a full year)

 

[Ceehook]

He should have a football future for ok coin somewhere

he played plenty of good footy in the VFL for us and was very good in last years grand final

and saw a snippet of a scratch match which he looked good in , alert , cool with ball in hand

best of luck where ever life takes him and I hope his time with us has set him up well for the next phase

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

A lot of people on this thread are saying that, must be a lot of tough guys on this thread lol.
I didn't see him do anything soft.

He pulled out of contests. That's a big no. Not everyone has to be a Kellaway or a Grimes, but you can't routinely pull out. Just not good enough.

He isn’t hard enough at the contest. Watch him closely. Lacks physical presence

Multiple times in multiple games.

Yep.The Port game, His timidness stoodout like a sore thumb.

The best example. It's not just a slowing down, he actually pulls up and waits for the opponent to take possession.
Can't have that.

The whites in his eyes could light up the G

Egg says omelette youse diss me all youse like, i'm not salty, i just need a bit of thyme, in the end, yousa all have egg on yousa faces.

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

Maybe the Egg will get re-drafted if no else is available.

Not by us.

 

[Elton Johns Wig]

All the assistants
All Dimmas men
Couldn't put Eggy
Together again

 

[Aristotle Pickett]

I think the list managment team will have egg on their face over this one.
Maybe we should have tried to get a draft pick for him in eggchange.
I would be very surprised if the egg wasn't poached by another team.

 

[Walt Kowalski]

He's (on) toast

 

[Walt Kowalski]

I dont wanna be bacon any predictions but he might be paired up with a new club next year

 

[Walt Kowalski]

In a successful club, you cant make an omelette without breaking a few Eggmolesses

 

[Walt Kowalski]

His (hollan)daise at Punt Rd are over

 

[Walt Kowalski]

Well that was over easy

 

[Genghis Tron]

He was clearly afraid of being beaten. The bloke look terrifried. I wonder how many clubs are scrambling to pick him up?

 

[Walt Kowalski]

He got delisted but he wasn't even one of the ones at the strip club be-ne-dic (t)

Finger on the trigger today Walt.

 

[Grrr]

He has lots of AFL traits but a few that need working on. In the end AFL is cut-throat, you can't afford to be a project player after 3 years because as a half back especially we have some really good ones, and it is also a spot where you players come in and learn the game, Stack 2019. Who knows this year, Cumberland, Ralph Smith, Naish, maybe even Dow, new draft picks.

Derek may get picked up via a rookie list, or go back to the VFL and work on his weaknesses. He has the tools to get back to the AFL as a better player in a year or two maybe, like Aarts or any number of mature age pick-ups, because he has the talent to play AFL as he has already shown.

The challenge is there if he's up for it.
