Player Watch #32: Toby Pink - has been delisted, with the commitment to re-select him in the Rookie Draft

[AnEmptyChair]

Because there's still a place for nuance. The zone contributed to things but Corr individually got outfoxed a few times that raised eyebrows.

Not like most of us have a horse in this race - makes little difference to most which defenders find a place in a successful side for us.

the zone stuff is being massively overstated and is nothign more than a cop out. he was regularly in a terrible position, zone or not

 

[The Nostradamus]

if only he was as good as ccj

Lol yep cos CCJ plays key defender

What a dumb comparison

 

[DocSholl]

Pretty sure it's in the AFL rulebook that a key forward from GWS, Freo or Gold Coast has to kick a bag on us each season

 

[tazaa]

Looks like Toby played with all 4 fingers in the stink

 

[EDFL follower]

He didn’t play on hogan

He played part of a zone defence.

His positioning was poor at times. He got some good kicks over his head when he took front position.

No one is saying he was good.

We are saying he was beaten in his first game playing a zone defence against a team that were walking the ball down the ground kicking well to the advantage of their forwards.

Zone defence??
It’s not basketball.
He got monstered. Hopefully he plays better next week but no need to make up excuses for him.

Just bring in comben

There’s no point wasting game time on this bloke who’s ceiling is state league

If Comben comes in, and plays the same way that Pink played this weekend, will you call for him to be dropped immediately?

No because one is new to the position and 22 and will be a long term player

The other is a mature age 25 year old who will be off the list at years end

CCJ fill the role of dumbarse log that gets in Larkey’s way.

He is one of the worst footballers I have seen for a while and I have seen a lot of shit ones lately.

Can’t mark, can’t ruck, can’t kick goals, can’t football.

Same could be said of CCJ. No point wasting games on a bloke that would get dominated by Auskickers and should be off the list at the end of the year.

 

[Frank Thring]

A one game sample size compared with what 3 years?
He has an extended history of poor positioning, weak one on one contests, horrible disposal...

No he doesn't

Ah the old nuances arguement which usually is pinned against one player only.

Dumb comparisons my friend are what you have been providing for as long as i can remember, iam actually glad you have the capacity to identify one even if it was completely obvious sarcasm...



-12 meters gained even with an Inside 50!!! , PMSL,

 

[The Nostradamus]

Just saw a clip of footy clas ripping into him for looking lost on the weekend

At least for once they are pointing out the right thing

 

[Epictetus]

It's a tough first game up, but he does look a bit all over the place.

remember souvas first game??

 

[Passmore]

In all honesty he didn't look very good. But I'm sure he'll get another opportunity. Let's see how he goes.

Wouldn't be the first bloke to stink it up in his first game.

He was, what 20 years old? Pink has been around senior football for a long time. Strange comparison.

 

[outwecome2play]

This all gets back to the thread clogger trying to justify that he is always right.

Pink has played one game against a team that took the premiers defence of last year to the cleaners.

Lets give him time to adjust to speed of AFL as he may be 25 years old but he has had zero experience at this level.

I’ve got a bit of info on your backline set up. You were running a circle type rotation on the forwards. Not sure why but it’s an interesting concept.

Well we did look like we were running around in circles.

so CCJ has sucked for 2 years (and one game) on our list and you ignore that but you're happy to go over the top about a bloke in his first game.

either give it a rest of try and be remotely consistent and balanced with your opinions.

 

[apollo_creed]

No he doesn't

he absolutely does. he has been a liability more often than not and has been a poor trade.
and if you're arguing that his disposal is of an acceptable then I really don't know what to say.

Ones playing forward and relief ruck and is contracted for next year

The other is a mature age state league defender list clogger and will be off the list at years end

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Did you see the delivery the GWS midfielders were giving to Riccardi, Cadman and Hogan?

FFS.

Yes.

I also saw him flounder in almost all of those one v one contests.

He’s got no athletic ability.

The best defenders spoil the ball when out of position.

He’s got no chance.
