    So not much different to Smith? Or worse?

      I think his kicking is fine. I have seen his action shooting for goal and technique wise looked ok.

        The major issue I noticed with Jong was he did not get far enough back from the man on the mark and in general simply rushed his kicks.

          Although it's still a while off, the forecast is for rain in Sydney on Sunday. You would think that adding Cordy to Roughead and Jones would be one too many talls, so I would leave Cordy out this week. On the other hand the expected conditions should suit Addison perfectly.

            Certainly not in the best in the last 2 Williamstown game. In the bests in some others but no BOGs.
            I've never seen someone get so much mileage from 1 practice match.
            I didn't see that praccy - so had a look at him in the Willy games that were on tv.
            Looked miles off to me - but I don't see as much of him as the regular Willy watchers.

              Would like to see Addison straight back in. Ves should play if not injured so maybe Pearce is the unlucky one.
              Your kidding arent you?
              The biggest reason he is in the side is because of his second, third and fourth efforts.
              Macca loves his continuous going at it and thinks he is one of our best for keeping the ball in.
              Have you actually watched him?
              Even the commentators go on about his repeated efforts, look at the goals he has kicked all from repeated efforts.

                You must watch a different game.
                His 2 goals have been 2 of flukiest goals ever.
                He is a liability on the ground at the moment. 3 times the sub in 3 games cos he can't run out the game.
                He is getting repeat efforts because he hasn't nailed the first one yet on the dozen or so occasions the ball has gone to him.
                His only value ATM is the excitement factor, maybe the opposition with think he is our Saviour, that will wear out quick.

                  His post was he had no repeat efforts you have even mentioned he has, the fact he might have fumbled is irrelevant, you obviously havent watched him repeat tackle either.

                  My opinion is he has a burst of 3 or 4 repeats then his tank is done for a couple of minutes, Griffen was known for this for about 4 years.

                  But my opinion is the post was wrong in him not having any repeat efforts!

                    I like the romance of the freakishly skilled forward player, but I dont think Skinner does the basics well enough to justify being on the list come the end of the year.

                        I saw 1 tackle where he let the ball go out, he was appealing for a free but the ball was 50m away. They got a goal out of it. Is that a repeated effort?

                          Absolutely. He's been okay through the early rounds.
                          But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                            The Howitzer and Wood will come up for consideration but I think they both need to play for Willi , Howard is only just back from injury and has had a rest after the game on the 20th but another game with Willi would do him good before pushing for selection against Port , Wood also needs a game at Willi and again push for selection against Port , as much as I,d like to see them play against the Swans the smaller ground in wet conditions wouldn,t suit them for a first game back

                                If he builds a tank I think you might eat these words. Looked excellent pre-season against Geelong (only played 1/2 game) and I'm seeing flashes of real potential. He needs another development year but I say good chance we'll get value from draft pick 88!
