Put a 22 year old Plugger on that magnificent ground in pristine conditions against Scott Thompson and he'd still have kicked 7 or 8 with limited opportunity.

"Is this the right room for an argument?"
"I told you once."
"No, you didn't."
"Yes, I did."
"Listen, an argument isn't just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says, it's a series of statements designed to support a particular conclusion."
"No, it isn't."
"Oh, I've had enough of this."
"No you haven't"
"Oh shut up."

Re: Paddy
Paddy will be fine. Have a bit of faith guys. I'm sure we will see a better effort from him this weekend.
I'm looking forward to attending the match with some of my family.

Re: Paddy
How many times can it be said the guy was averaging a concussion every 3.5 games up to 2018. Poor lad looked into a stiff wind and he went down.
Lots of keyboard experts discuss why... from form to physiology to his footy brain.
I have bagged his play plenty and if you can find it I wrote an eloquent piece ( tickets on myself are now selling 3 for $1) on how my years of studying human psychology led me to believe he lacked passion for the footy.
All, some or none may be true but whatever is going on Paddy is less. He lacks passion he is afraid. Why wouldn't he be? Every 4 games he gets his bell rung and one of these times it might lead to losing his career or God forbid... permanent injury...so regardless of my opinion on the man's draft position or lack of footy statistics or personal passion...I see fear and I have never been wrong about fear. The club is doing a great disservice if he is not seeing a mental health professional.
Imagine being a roofer.
You climb up on the roof and something- maybe the wind maybe your footing maybe the roof surface or rain or a co worker....something happens and you fall.
You recover and after a while you go back to work and get on the roof...a bit tenative, a bit woobly, then stand. Yep, you're right. You do a couple of roofs...then BAM! You fall off again. DAMN! Didn't see that coming you were careful and more thoughtful of the processes, but it happened.
Now imagine that happening over and over and over and over. You've fallen off 6 of the last 22 roofs you worked on..first, you lose your job and probably get a medical review for your plumbing licensure...your insurance cancels and no builder wants you on site because you are a proven liability.
Now you have thought it over and sat up late nights going through every fall and think you see the reasons why. You fully recover physically but mentally?
You get a gig from your old boss who has had you since you were an apprentice and has an investment he hopes to recoup because at one time you were the biggest and strongest apprentice scoring the highest at TAFE practical and theory.
But as you climb the ladder onto that first roof...you are consumed with fear. You move slowly, every step is calculated, a slight breeze sets off alarm bells- am I going to fall today?
To me Paddy is playing terrified. He needs more than game time to recover.

Re: Paddy
Needed to take some of those marks he dropped- just an ordinary player so far this season. I want him to do well, but it's clear to me that since all his concussions, he is not hitting the contests as hard as when he started out.
