Re: Coffield Jones Joyce Wood for Frawley Highmore Ross Lonie
Dunstan would be a great replacement for Joel Selwood at Geelong when he retires. He's a similar type and would fit right in and give the cats about 5 good years, may even play in a premiership. And their fans would appreciate him.Yorkeys wrote: ↑Thu 13 May 2021 8:55pm Well, looks like Dunstan's papers are well and truly stamped. Is he a worse player in any position than Lonie. Apparently, and am surprised and disappointed. Another low draft pick has proven wasted. Can only hope Lonie gets a few kicks that he earns himself. Really leaves King exposed as they will double team and leave Lonie to do whatever he does. Kick a few Jack, show them you are not to be trifled with.

Re: Coffield Jones Joyce Wood for Frawley Highmore Ross Lonie
Chips Fawley may have a psychologically boosting effect on the team.
Coffield’s omission is a loss of skill..but Joyce is the surprise. He was like a bulldozer down there.
Look at the Bulldogs replay last year and you an see confident Max King and Lonie running around together.
I wouldn’t blame Lonie for Max’s struggles.
I agree, I do t want to see those dribblely low lefties hooking into nowhere tonight. He can actually square and pass well to a better positioned forward even arcing the wrong way for a leftie.
I’m hoping Chips can give us the boost.
God he,p the back line.

Re: Coffield Jones Joyce Wood for Frawley Highmore Ross Lonie
The problem with Nick Coffield, and with Hunter Clark for that matter, is that other than each other, there probably isn't a single player in the AFL who either could chase down. Therefore, a backline with both is woefully slow. Hunter Clark has more stings to his bow, although is not as good a mark. Personally, I would have persisted with Darragh Joyce, but that's solely on last week's game. Injuries are inevitable - especially at the Saints, but a settled backline is crucial for success. It's where the sum of the whole can be much greater than the sum of the parts.

Re: Coffield Jones Joyce Wood for Frawley Highmore Ross Lonie
Coffield's issue is not leg speed. It's his attack at the contest. He looks tentative at times where he should run straight at it.

Re: Coffield Jones Joyce Wood for Frawley Highmore Ross Lonie
Joyce wasn't too bad and will improve, but if your skills are not up to scratch against a team like Geelong, then you will be found out. Coff and Clark were lazy across HB against the GC early and just gave their opponents too much room to move and haven't got that natural sprint to catch up from a standing start. Clark provided more as the game went on, but Coff probably was running up and down a bit in the end from having to do a lot of chasing. Might just be between the ears, and a game or two at Sandy will help. We do need a bit of leg speed in the back half.perfectionist wrote: ↑Fri 14 May 2021 10:25am The problem with Nick Coffield, and with Hunter Clark for that matter, is that other than each other, there probably isn't a single player in the AFL who either could chase down.

Re: Coffield Jones Joyce Wood for Frawley Highmore Ross Lonie
Rohan and Cameron require a lot of running/leg speed from defenders. Frawley may have to go to Hawkins; they probably know each other's abilities quite well and Frawley negating Hawkins probably essential for a good showing from us. Anyone want to bet against Frawley getting a recurrence of a calf, hammy, groin injury relatively early. Dropping Joyce is just tempting fate. I would take the odds Darragh would kick more than Lonie if played forward in Lonie's place and be good defensively, if hypotheticals are allowed here.

Re: Coffield Jones Joyce Wood for Frawley Highmore Ross Lonie
It is more than accurate, both are 'treacle slow' its just Clark has good vision and lateral movement which gives him time. Coffield is slower again and gets exposed constantly for his lack of speed. I tend to agree with Gerard Healy on Coffield he was a poor top 10 selection.CURLY wrote: ↑Fri 14 May 2021 11:15amSimply not true.perfectionist wrote: ↑Fri 14 May 2021 10:25am The problem with Nick Coffield, and with Hunter Clark for that matter, is that other than each other, there probably isn't a single player in the AFL who either could chase down.

Most players taken in that 2017 draft year will have more impact as AFL players than Coffield taken at pick #8.
The list is endless Naughton, Brander, Bailey, Richards, Higgins, Starcevich, Powell, Coleman-Jones, Kelly, Balta, Ryan, Taylor, Spargo De Koning, Fritsch, McCartin, Naish, Petrucelle, Ballard, Paton, Payne even Geulfi taken at#76 has more AFL qualities than Coffield.
Our recruiting continues to be abysmal at the club, there are no other ways of explaining it.

Coffield has been playing poorly all year and had an absolute shocker against GCS. It's a good move he needs to go back and work on his fitness, he is running up and down on the spot this year. He gets exposed for a lack of speed constantly.
Highmore is not quick also, but at least he is going to give us the intercept marking option.
Jones is a huge loss for us! My tip is a 75 point hiding...
At the end of last year I was thinking if Coff kept improving in 2021 the same way we saw during 2020 that he could have come into AA conversations . Cant even hold his spot now.

Re: Coffield Jones Joyce Wood for Frawley Highmore Ross Lonie
Agreed. If he held his own, it would have been a major boost for his development.
I don’t think anyone expects us to win , so why bring in an underdone Frawley and not give DJ a chance to prove himself.

How many has he taken this year? A total of 3 from 8 games and has been terribly exposed.

Coffield has been poor this season, too much of a confidence player for my liking.

Re: Coffield Jones Joyce Wood for Frawley Highmore Ross Lonie
We’re going to miss Coff’s intercept marking in the backline.
All posters are equal, but some posters are more equal than others.
