Thought I'd point out that you missed the compo we got for laidler & robinson - oh wait, we got none...
It was a 100% correct statement.
Tutt is a jet VFL player but is a deer in headlights at AFL level. If he is best 22 next year we may as well fold.

On the contrary, I watch just about all of them. Your opinion may well vary from mine, but from what I've seen Tutt lacks composure and is very shy of the contest. He'll lay a tackle or two, maybe run a player down if he gets the chance, but he doesn't like taking a hit and it shows.
yes I forgot about them, thank you.
At the end of the day, McKay is in charge of the footy dept, if DeVilla thinks we've done well in that area we agree to disagree.
Rebuilds shouldn't be limited to the playing list.
Tainted by association with Jones. Disposal efficiency not great.
Tutt cost us nothing and we will have one of the youngest on-ball sides in the competition next year having lost Mclean, Lucas and Robinson last year with Judd, Ellard and Carrazzo gone and Bell and Yarran traded out. Tutt is cannon-fodder for Holman, Graham and Walsh. DV-R and Smith demonstrably not yet ready for senior footy.

I think if he could kick on the run/under pressure to more of an AFL standard people wouldn't mind his other faults. So many fluffed kicks into the forward half of the ground from Tutt.

How can he be cannon-fodder for young blokes when he handballs to them regardless of how closely they're being checked?
Cripps is a freak, but his ability to handball to a player in space is what's keeping our midfield afloat. He'll overlook two or three options to find the right one.
Tutt will handball to a bloke standing shoulder-to-shoulder with him if he thinks he's about to get tackled. Result: other bloke gets tackled instead. I've seen it dozens of times, he motors the legs, runs in a circle hoping to find some space, and then takes the closest available option when he realises he's screwed the pooch.
If he can get loose out the back when we affect a turnover he can do some damage, but he's a liability in contested games if he's being played on the ball.
As I said, a good team will have a specific role pencilled in for him that suits him, but on our list he's going to struggle.
He has some strengths to his game such as speed, pressure and willingness to get to contests. His disposal is the problem as people have mentioned. Decision making or skill, whatever it is, if he sorts it he could be a decent player. Reminds me a lot of Armfield when he was only a couple of years into his career.
A lot to like about Tutt's endeavour and ability to win the ball but I cringe at about 90% of his disposals. Unless you can train someone to have a cooler head under pressure then there's no future for him.

Just realised this is the rumour thread...maybe time we move back onto topic?
Has anything come of the "McCarthy wants to move to Victoria" rumour that popped up recently? I haven't seen his name mentioned anywhere other than that post and some speculation that stemmed from it.

Needs to smoke a blunt pregame. He'll be right.

Thanks. I thought so - but didn't realize he was working at the club (or had forgotten). One of the regular posters on the Brisbane forum grew up with the Power boys so if he posts something that he heard there will be some validity to it (not suggesting that he will, however).

I very rarely bag a bloke in Blue but Tutt is cannon fodder of the highest order at this stage of his career and only Bolton can save him.

no i hate him less then Ellard.
He hasn't been as bad as most are making out....he's not a best 22 in a finals team though.
Maybe should be used as a hf, can kick goal
Sounded like Bell couple of weeks ago
Yeah....

His disposal is fine generally. Pressure it does go panicky but keep in mind we are a poor side who doesn't have the experience currently on field to generate extra time as the good teams do. It's symptomatic of our issues, not we have issues because it is all Jason Tutt's fault.
He competes a lot better than a couple of our "stars" were willing too (Henderson, Yarran.) He cares about the club....oh and to that comment that went "Club should fold because Tutt is playing".....stupid.
