Re: Round 3 - 2017, Footscray Bulldogs v North Ballarat

VitalDread (assuming its the guy from BF) is uploading individual highlights packages of players from the VFL for each game (!!!). Well worth a look, especially Tim's. He really murked the NB ruckman, some of his taps are silver service. He also appears to like to hurt people (not that he's really capable yet). Would love to see him not take every single mark on his chest (aka Jones-Schultz-Minton-Connell Syndrome), but there are some great signs.

Shout out to Sedat who said he could play before the end of the year in a spot other than the ruck. Think it's a chance to see him play as a third tall forward.

Agree VitalDread has some great highlights.

Here is Kieran Collins - and you can subscribe to his YouTube channel.

Skills are quite poor.

Not sure if you have ever seen John play HD, or going by heresay, but Schultzy marked a lot over his head.

Are you referring to Collins? I thought he was fine; still only 19 years old and won't be 20 till December.

Collins is like a Fletcher Roberts clone.

Yes, I was referring to Collins - and I know he is 19 - its not a comment on his ability to make the grade at some point - just an observation that his skills are poor at this stage. His shot at goal was his only passable long kick.

The actual kicking mechanics look ok. He's definitely no Michael Talia. Reckon he's best emulating Roberts/Morris and sticking to the low risk 15-20m kick.

That one that used to play for Port my man. Don't think he took an overhead mark until at least his tenth year in the league.
