AFL Player # 5: Elijah Tsatas - Late in vs Roos - 19/5

[TheGrizz]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2026
2024 My Boy Draft: Pick 14, Lore

 

[FlyingV]

The reason why Tsatas was the right pick at our selection is he is the right ‘type’ of player you need in the modern game. Think Sydney with Gulden and Warner. But he needs to time to develop his body to get back his explosiveness and increase endurance base as he’s had significant injury every year for the last three years

Which makes sense.
It just gets confusing thinking back to why then coach played him on a wing earlier in the season.
What do think drove the change in approach?

Played him to see where he was at . It happens at all clubs. Give them opportunity to play some games and if they come up a fraction short then back to the VFL for a bit.

 

[Vindicater]

Reckon he is a regular this time next season.

 

[Call Me Cake]

Doesn't get a game instead of Shiel. Absolute rort.

I’d much rather he keep on dominating vfl and learning his craft than be in and out of the side as a sub. There’s no pressure on him at the moment to come in, he’s got time to develop and after another full preseason hopefully he’s ready to become a mainstay. The geelong approach usually works well with youngsters.

 

[jdstorm]

Really just needs continuity with his body and to keep developing physically (and technically with his kicking)

He’s going to be so good next season.

Doesn't get a game instead of Shiel. Absolute rort.

Need to pump up Dylan’s trade value

 

[TheUnicorn]

He's in!

 

[andleanback]

Take your opportunity Elijah

 

[NAB777]

His kicking....

 

[HirdyLannister]

My boy

 

[Lore]

My boy

MY boy.

 

[Kong]

You can both have him. Woof.

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

He has lightning hands and took some nice grabs but is still quite raw.

 

[Ambrosia]

Think he’s shown enough to compete with Hobbs in that half forward role

 

[The Prosecutor]

The disposal was a bit sloppy today however the really good signs for the future was his bodywork during a couple of contests.

Really good signs for when he fills in to his frame.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Was decent. Nice hands as usual. Good body work before that goal.
