Jarrad Boumann - 2009 Outlook

Re: Jarrad Boumann - 2009 Outlook

I know that's the goss on Roughie, but I'm not sure that's what we have in mind. Only time will tell.

Roughead's forward play, from what I have seen is being a bit overplayed. Sure he kicked 3 last Friday, but atleast 2 of these were gifted to him.

He looks a natural ruckman and I am sure he will be used in this area once his body develops.

Like most key position draft picks who are not first rounders Boumann is pretty raw. He has a good turn of speed, but is still very lightly built. I like the efforts to develop him in the backline. I mainly hope he has a good year under Gotch in the VFL as he does not physically ready to play AFL footy yet.

I think all 3 were basically gifts
A ruck free from about 30-40 out in the first quarter
A mark in the square and hand ball over the top in the last.

Boumann won't make it at AFL level.

What basis do you make that statement?

He is 19 years old and still developing?

Hehe, the attached picture looks rather compelling.

Cyberdoggie that's the whole trouble with this sort of thing. Someone decides about the conclusion then goes looking for evidence, rather than the other way around. Such people usually end up with a position on the match review fiasco or the reviewers, neither are much admired at the moment.

As you would know there isn't a player in the league present or past who hasn't had snaps taken while he looks awkward with eyes closed or what ever else the supposed sin is.

On the other hand Jarrad has got himself into a much better position than his opponent and elevated himself nicely. A picture, what do they say, is worth a thousand words? Well this one can be interpreted in lots of different ways

FWIW I don't understand the mindset of those who seem to take a peverse delight in making negative comments about young players. Myself I want them all to succeed.

Why do i need to explain myself, it's just my opinion.

I don't think he has the football ability to make it.

Because this forum is based on discussing people's opinion.

As Mantis pointed out, this is a discussion forum and it's not just for venting statements without supporting them with valid comments or reasons.

As part of a discussion, people here will constructively challenge other members comments so before positing anything they need to be prepared to explain why they are of an opinion.

Hope this helps.

Others have provided helpful comments which I won't repeat. So I'll stick to one issue.

What you are saying seems to be the equivalent of "I can spot football talent better than those who are paid to do it and who have devoted a considerable number of years doing so."

As someone who knows nothing about your capacities and who believes the matter of young Jarrad is still an open question, I need some reasons to believe that if he fails it will be from something that is obvious to you but escaped the attention of the club recruiters.

I would be greatly assisted in forming my opinion if I knew your reasons and so would the overwhelming majority of those who contribute to this discussion forum.
