I liked Nog's game. It showd just how much Roos thinks of him playing him on Lappin.
His goal from just outside fifty came at a very important stage of the game.

Funny goal that. You could see his mind working through the options.
"I should pass it short 20m to someone in the F50 first, or maybe 20m to the side to someone in the open or give a handball off... oh oh what do I do, none of these are on... I can't possibly run on and have a shot... or can I... I think I can, I think I can... oh wow - how was that!!"Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

I think the main thing in the way of Ablett becoming a consistently good contributor is his self-confidence. If had the confidence of his cousin he could become a pretty good player. He probably won't ever be a star per se, but his long penetrating kicking ability could become pretty important to the midfield once Maxfield and Willo are gone.Comment

I think the fact that his marker wasn't there also added to his dilemmaHere's my heart and you can break it

As soon as he kicked it though,I had no doubt that it was a goal.Very long accurate kicking.Originally posted by NMWBloods

Wonder where they are now!?
I told you all to be confident and keep the spirit up. Our players are the imbeciles some listees seem intent on painting them out to be.
We beat the Premiers. Now we have to keep going against North.
It's time to Boo a Roo!!!

I have been disappointed in him in the past but he certainly played well on the weekend. as others have said, he needs to do that more consistently.
he can seem to take forever to get rid of the ball sometimes, i guess that will improve if he keeps playing, but i wonder what his place in the team lookes like if we have no injuries? i think he would play off the bench a lot, even though stuff like his hesitation will only improve with game time....
i'm happy if i'm wrong if he keeps playing like that though.I wish my weed was EMO so it would cut itselfComment

One thing in his favor is his long kicking. How many midfielders we have who could consistantly kick over 50m? If he comes OK, he adds a dimension to our team.Comment

No one that I can see has mentioned how Nicks added another dimension to our backline. Has pace to get to a contest, spoils well and reads the play coming in.
He didn't have a lot of "stats" but was prepared to get in and under, tap out when on the ground, got to some very important contests to spoil when the Bears players looked like gaining possession or a mark.
His ability to run out of defence and use the ball efficiently will be a real asset.
Thank Allah, Christ, Buddha, George W. Bush and the rest of them that we didn't trade him.Comment

Very pleased with Nicks - very hard at the ball, plays good defence, aware of the ball and runs it out sensibly, a quality quick, and can also be shifted into the forward line.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

Playing the best in the business seems to bring out the best in Ablett. I remember prelim final last year was probably the best he had played for us until saturday night IMHOThe Future is Bright,The Future is Red And White.Comment

Nope because he didnt actualy get near the bloody ball, hes one of those annoying players who plays well when the team is going alright. And I believe that relates to the fact hes a confidence player who still dosent believe in himself.Originally posted by JF_Bay22_SCG

I didn't see anyone say that his disposal needs improvement, if he can get the ball he's fine.Originally posted by JF_Bay22_SCG

Mathews kicking, though leaves a lot to be desired.Comment
