Player Watch Lachlan Sholl

[Thylacinus]

This is really easy. Sholl is not cutting it. Nank has enormous upside and many qualities. We need to get talent into the team. Out Sholl and into the 22 Luke Nankervis. Do it now. Now is the time!

Hately is an sanfl footballer

So is Schoenberg

Lol what a useless, soft spud. Been calling this for years.

But we will persist and persist even though it’s painfully obvious he’s not going to stand up in pressure games.

 

[Rankine2Thilthorpe]

Too soft, no good when the heat is on. Stamp his papers, he’s a poor man’s Atkins.

 

[MsTopG]

It's a combination of both being weak and also being dumb when tackled

Both times he was caught dead he actually had time to dispose of it after he was tackled but before he was fully wrapped up. A quick handball first option type of give. But instead he chose to further take on the tackle and take that second more time, which allowed his opponent to completely dominate him physically.

This happened twice!

I know he's a "good user" but you can't have a physically weak player who is slow to react when tackled, who can't win contested ball and generally in hotly fought games also can't find the ball

Surely there is someone better

I wanted Hinge on the wing all year. When Doedee went down that probably put an end to that. Play Jones and Soligo on the wings. Or alternatively why don't they play Sloane on a wing. Sholl is not quicker than Sloane. Sholl needs to be dropped. You can't carry players in finals.

Was it Scholl that Maynard basically did a Jonah lomu on?

 

[BunjiMac]

You can't have any player in the side that can only offer something when the conditions are absolutely perfect.

He is the poster child of downhill skiing.

He is an absolute liability who's actions in contested situations are team deflating.

Even his supposed skills are only avererage with his kicks being loopy and straight to a contest.

We cannot carry this spud any longer.

It's the same thing every year, surely we've given him enough opportunities.

 

[BunjiMac]

Was it Scholl that Maynard basically did a Jonah lomu on?

Yup one of the first plays of the game.

 

[StonesThrow]

Was it Scholl that Maynard basically did a Jonah lomu on?

Pretty sure it was Maynard that Jones took down in the centre square. Would love to see a replay of that tackle

 

[footy4ever]

He's listed at 87kg. Doesn't seem like it.

He's put on a few kgs since last season.

I don't think he's as bad as all the teeth gnashing going on here. Averaging nearly 18 touches per game for the first 13 games and usually has good disposal.

Outside player whose role is to be an outside player isn't a tackling machine. Well colour me shocked.

was the player that killed us on the wing. Jones was his opponent I think, at least for the 1st quarter.

Maybe 20 years ago you could get away with this sort of 1 dimensional play, but not in modern football.

It represents a weakness for the time that we absolutely must look to address.

 

[triggyscrewedus]

Josh Daicos was the player that killed us on the wing. Jones was his opponent I think, at least for the 1st quarter.

Spot on.
The Brothers play brilliantly as a combo and Jones was given a bath by Josh.

 

[Mutineer]

Hately could be the player they bring in though. Schoenberg while showing a bit really has lost his chance in my view to be the next mid in based on the poor AFL form he demonstrates consistently.

Nah Schoenberg if he can get his shit together is a far better prospect looking to the future, has that much needed burst speed from the contest and agility that Hately just doesn't have. Hately should never be more than a depth player at AFL level, just doesn't have any points of difference that stand out 5 years into his AFL career.

[BRL121]

Sholl seems to be David Mackay MK2 ..

"Mad Dog" Sholl, doesn't quite have the right feeling.

 

[BunjiMac]

Sholl seems to be David Mackay MK2 ..

David McKay had a lot of flaws yes, but going hard at the contest was not one of them.

He was also exceptionally quick.

Sholl is more similar to Ratkins.

 

[The Perfect Stranger]

Lol what a useless, soft spud. Been calling this for years.

But we will persist and persist even though it’s painfully obvious he’s not going to stand up in pressure games.

We will wait until he fails in a final before we rule a line through him.

I agree but I really meant more in the comparison of being this boards whipping boy. Watch scholl play 1 decent game every year, keep getting selected and then get a long term contract.

 

[1990crow]

Was it Scholl that Maynard basically did a Jonah lomu on?

When I saw the contest happening and saw it was Sholl and Maynard I let out a very audible sigh before it even happened.

 

[1990crow]

Sholl seems to be David Mackay MK2 ..

This is how far our club has stagnated since 2017. That Sholls game is being compared to Mackay.
Granted Mackay was a whipping boy, but his game was infinitely better than Sholls.
It shows we still have a way to go to being a top side.

 

[MarcusP2]

I've been a defender of his because he showed potentially elite ability early in his career as outside class we have lacked for years.

But he's never really got close to that again for whatever reason (coaching or ability) and at the very least he needs a reset.

His ability hasn't declined. The problem is that he is now not allowed by the oppo to run around by himself at will doing what he wants. He has improved his engagement-awareness a little, but not enough. He has lasted a little longer than the previous two years, but it's time for a rest.

Yes but he hasn't been able to get around that. Either coaching hasn't given him the tricks to find space or he doesn't have the ability to.
