Nick Fosdike

[Reggi]

The boy can seriously lift

[treespirit]

...yes, Magic can't cover for him like that too often!

[Charlie]

He's not doing enough. After Warfe and Nicks, he'd be my choice to come out of the side.

I think our midfield setup has exacerbated Fosdike's struggle.

Roos' plan seems to be to negate in the midfield to hopefully break even, and then back our defenders to out-run their opponents to deliver the ball to our dangerous forwards.

Kirk, J.Bolton, Cresswell, Crouch, Mathews, Williams and Maxfield have a mortgage on midfield roles due to their ability to play defensively.

I guess that's also made it harder for Ablett to make an impact with the few chances he's been given.

Fosdike's fitness is still valuable though - only Maxfield and Goodes have more kicks in final quarters.

It's hard to know what to do with him until the midfield setup changes.

always been ordinary for a #3 pick

[Craig]

He fumbles way too much. I agree that he is a very ordinary #3 pick. A run in the reserves may do him good.

[Sid]

Definitely not hard at the ball, fumbles carelessly. I think a good person to put on the bench due to his fitness.

He did pretty good at the start of the year and kicks some valuable goals every now and then, but his accuracy isnt dependable. Definitely a good option on the bench to replace on-ballers, wingers or foward pocket (probably less reliable here).

[penga]

i think he needs to use his left less, thats his major weakness...

[TheHood]

I am confused as to why this is happening given that Nick was so good in the last half of last year and earned himself Most Improved last year.

Fossy ain't getting enough of the nut and when he get some ball up forward, he's not converting.

Thank goodness Jude has been so hungry and hard at it because we would be in trouble otherwise.

But at least HE would be worth something in trade talks

Ordinary performance by Fosdike against quality opposition. Hard ball gets were not in his resume last week.

Watch him play well against the Saints.

There inlies his problem.
