Best goal celebrator we have. Elite skills in this department.

Ahaha best post I've read today!
But doesn't sometimes kicking a clutch goal and celebrating with such enthusiasm swing the momentum around in a game (Hooper in his debut v Sydney)?

I actually think Vez has him covered in that area. Imagine the two of them kicking 5 each in the same game! It would feel like carnivale

Re: Justin Sherman

I think he will have to really improve his defensive abilities, it seems these days the game has past you by without them (see Josh Hill), however i think he could be valuable swapping forward/midfield using his pace at clearances especially with Cooneys knee problems. I actually dont like him having too many shots at goal seems to try to kick them along the ground a large percentage of the time and appears a bit rushed even when he has time. I seem to recall him running through the midfield at the Gabba for the Lions?

Has taken the mantle from Nathan Eagleton as best celebrator, before him Bubba!

Re: Justin Sherman

High half forward through the mid. We need 25+ goals from him next year. I think he is important finisher for us.

If Sherman is kicking goals and receiving well I don't care how many tackles he lays. He's not too bad in a contested situation (one on one either) he just can't stick a tackle. He's a strong guy so it is obvioulsy a mental issue or Eade just said to him to play to your strengths. Unlike Josh Hill Sherman always looks dangerous in the forward line so if he can produce 25+ goals for us next year and play an effective link up role through high half forward I don't think the amount of tackles he lays or his defensive pressure are going to be issues for him. He has the X-factor about him.

Still, Bmac looks like a hard nut so he may demand more of him, I wonder how Justin will respond to that next season.

Re: Justin Sherman

where he can use his pace....explosive pace which is his main asset

he's got speed.....I'd like to see him able to use his speed... Between him, Tutt and Dahlhaus we should be a consistently quicker side next year.

using his pace

I see quotes like these all the time, but I'm yet to see this "pace" everyone keeps talking about? I know he's not slow but it seemed to me, more often than not this year, he was barely getting his kick away before his opponent ran him down? It actually frustrated me that he couldn't 'burn off' hardly anyone.

He has genuine pace but given his waddle-like action I think he struggles off the mark over five metres. Your comment may also have something to do with getting himself into good position to receive and use his pace. He is exceptionally quick when he has an opportunity to receive on the run, he is almost unstoppable in this situation but he needs to be aware of how he fits into the team structure on the field and where best to place himself around other players. This is a positional issue I guess and harks back to GVGjrs original thread question.

Re: Justin Sherman

I like him as a forward closer to goal, particularly running back into space towards goal. His decision making isnt good enough to play through the midfield, but his speed and intensity make him dangerous up forward, closer to goal, where the requirement to set up play isnt as great.

Has to be taught to use his speed when we dont have the ball, however.

Some good points you have raised but I think that spot might be filled by Giansiracusa and maybe Veszpremi. I just feel as though they might use him on a wing or even a half back if they use Murphy forward.

We got him for his running capacity and I don't think we are playing to his strengths as a deep forward pocket. Probably high half forward might be his best spot.

Sherman didn't really impress as a 100 games plus AFL footballer in his initial year at the Bulldogs. I would think that Dahlhaus, Tutt and DJ all look better options going forward. He has little skills on his non-preferred side. Would also need to toughen up under BMcC who will be looking for a more robust combination.
We can ill afford to move Murphy from defence given how shaky this division looked last year.

I actually thought he was starting to fit in until he got suspended, hurt him a lot being a regular.
I agree he is better for us on a wing , needs room to use his speed and break, the way the press is now he doesnt get much room deeper forward.

Re: Justin Sherman

I thought he did quiet well this year in his 14 games and his goal contribution at 28 was one of the higher coming in at 6th for us, even with 8 less games than most.

I would like to see him more in the midfield and resting up forward and using his pace to advantage.

Funny....I didn't see Dahlhaus, Tutt or DJ display any skills on their non-preferred side.
