Post: # 1349775Post gringo »

Terry had a very good unselfish game tonight. Heaps of times he put his body and head over the ball. It was his best game for us apart from the one kick straight to a dees player. Those clash strips were s*** the dees looked like us across the field -white panel front with red and two dark navy side strips so they looked like us front on.

big pass for terry tonight for me watched him a lot off the contest and he seemed to be thinking about where to be.. liked his effort and he laid a few good tackles.

He had some bravery even late he used his head to stop the Dees kicking forward along the ground. Stood in front of bigger guys who ran through him and didn't shirk one tackle. Lovely skills are a bonus. He was so ready to share though, I thought they would lose the ball. He has something Winmar like about him when he's on.

yep..we had some good improvements tonight against a really good opposition...so a really good time to highlight some of our blokes who battle to make the ones.

I don't care we had good games from our youth and should pump them up for it. Doesn't get much credit and looks a confidence player.

Yep let's pump them up....or be objective about their abilities ....I'll take the latter.

Likewise. Lets face it Kosi kicked 2 goals and could've had 3. Says it all.

What did you see you didn't like? He was clean except for one kick, picked up the ball at pace, ran and carried the ball, set up goals, linked with run. It was a great game re watch it when it gets replayed. He's played about 15 to 20 games of AFL what do you expect him to be? Judd? He has always been highly skilled but some knocked his effort in tackling and his unwillingness to take a hit. He did both tonight and still used his skills.

Wouldn't have played if Wilkes was available.

Get Kosi to 200 games, quickly...then.

Can someone tell Kosi you need to get in front of your man to have a chance to mark the ball.

Lifted his effort tonight - not just when he was in the contest. The penny might have dropped that he needs to lift his game at this level.

Ordinary footballer. Wont help the side improve. If he plays who cares and if he doesnt who cares. We need the young guys to come one. He isnt one of them.

harsh........give him more time. Does show some stuff but annoys me when fans jump on him when the job is easy.

He is 26 years old next year. He is no better than last year and cant run through the middle. Wish I had been as good. Still is only an ordinary footballer. Wright is going to be a star. Milera isnt.

Let's see what he can do against Richmond and Freo, if he gets a game.

Wright will be a star but I think Terry could be too. He has the tools just needs to back up over and over doing the stuff he did tonight. His pace and touch are elite just needs the belief and drive and he could be anything.

Timid Terry is not part of our future. I reckon he goes out as soon as Milne comes back, or sooner still if Saad kicks a bag for Sandy tomorrow.

very harsh P66 with time think Terry and TDL could be something... they don't all start as stars champ... Sam Fisher if i recall took some time to get to his current level.

Which means half of the guys drafted after this year will have been delisted before he turns 30. He's not too old to contibute and he's inexperienced enough that you could expect some improvement. He probably played his best game today. Give him a chance to back it up against reasonable opposition before putting on your Captain Buzzkill hat.

i don't think we missed Saad tonight... Milne missed him.... i would place Saad in the Terry TDL goup. Terry has more silk over Saad.
