Re: Lonie
A bit like Milney, if he's under pressure and on the boundary line, he'll nail it. Set shot though, forget itdragit wrote:Loves looking for a free… great energy… If he can improve his goal kicking accuracy then look out.

Re: Lonie
Jack tried a few tricks today which didn't come off like the look away handball....I'd rather he sticks to doing the basics well rather than the fancy stuff.
Love his energy and the pressure he provides but let's hope he doesn't have too many brain fades like Milney used to.

Re: Lonie
Some players though need to break the rules and play with natural flair. That's what makes them stand apart and is their asset.Scollop wrote:Jack tried a few tricks today which didn't come off like the look away handball....I'd rather he sticks to doing the basics well rather than the fancy stuff.

You need to encourage it to a degree.

Yep, let hope Lonie doesn't have 574 brain fades, to be exact.Scollop wrote:Jack tried a few tricks today which didn't come off like the look away handball....I'd rather he sticks to doing the basics well rather than the fancy stuff.

Doesn't do enough yet to be an automatic selection each week. 10 possessions at 30% disposal efficiency is not a good game.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

Re: Lonie
He definitely puts in hard work, think he got scolded for his snap in the 1st(?) with other options available. Could see his relief when the ball came back after the kick in and roo slotted his goal, think there was apology in there too.

Re: Lonie
The thing I love most is his competitiveness! He's like a little footy version of Lleyton Hewitt! So tenacious and just hates getting beaten!! Confident he'll be an A grade star!! Looks a real team man as well!

Re: Lonie
Looks like the jumper number is not the only thing that Adam Schneider passed on to him...Terrible accuracy at the moment...If he improves that part of his game then the sky's the limit.

Re: Lonie
Absolutely love watching Little-boy Lonie. Very dangerous player. Opposition teams will leave him unchecked at their own peril.

I love his forward pressure, but I think he might benefit from a couple of weeks in the VFL if he can't hit the score board this weekBigMart wrote:His composure will hopefully come
Made some silly errors this year
Will be a player once he gets comfortable playing at the top level

Re: Lonie
I think we have to remember with Lonie he's only got one season under his belt including one full preseason. I think he still needs to build up his leg strength to do that real twisty turny evasion stuff he has shown he is capable of in bits that got us really excited. Likewise his decision making will get better with experience and when he is not getting so fatigued. But if this is where he is at after one season imagine a few seasons under his belt.
