Whats happened to Coffield

[B.M]

Hesitates too much

[Teflon]

Being developed well..

[spert]

Might be a bit peed off that Hill and Butler have yet to be dropped for doing bugger-all this season.

[Yorkeys]

He can't afford to indulge himself worrying about others. As you get older patience with lack of program by-in wears thinner. He should dominate in VFL but looks like he is out for a stroll with the dog.

[Cordz2]

1-he is not very good
2-he’s being played out of position and has no idea what he’s doing
3- Like Long, King and a few others, has lost all confidence

He was good last year, at times looked every bit a number 8 draft pick coming into his own....looks sick this year, Play Station eyes, no aggression at all.

PlayStation eyes

[Ghost Like]

Was brilliant tonight before getting injured but his critics have become eerily silent.

[Banger9798]

Just about his best half of the year.
Still looks uncertain when he had the ball, and needs to do what he was starting to do last year, and accelerate away from a contest.

[The OtherThommo]

No 6 in the B & F in a finals year, in 2020.

Obviously can play. Yet, he lacks a defining strength - not overly quick, not a physical beast, and nor is he demonstratively a high flyer.

But, in form, with a good unit operating around him, he has numerous strengths.

He did have a damn good year, last year.

[Scollop]

Shouldn't be hanging onto puppy fat after 4 pre seasons. Sinclair is achieving his potential because he's worked his bum off

Nick needs to probably lay off the junk food... and the play station after midnight (all that sitting probably doesn't help your hammies either)

I'm not privy to his diet, nor his after hours entertainment preferences.

And, Sinclair's been in the system more than twice as long as Coffield - he's 26 (Coffield's 21). He's been a 'regular' for how long, exactly?

Fair comment

[CQ SAINT]

I'd love to see Coffield drifting back into defence and across the centre of the ground laterally, rebounding from a wing position, with guys like Sinclair, Hill, Clark, Byrnes and possibly Connelly running off HB in rotations from the other wing. Highmore and Battle can handle the 3rd tall defensive roles and rotate with Coffield through the same wing. Coffield doesn't have the skills or physical attributes for KPD.

Coffield's one of those players who will prosper or die, depending on how the 'system' is performing.

6th in the B & F last year, when we played finals, yet for most of this year he's looked like a gumby.

Go figure. Actually, it's not hard to figure out. He's not Stewie or Doc, he's a 21 year old trying to make his way in a damned hard profession, where the entry routes to the competition work to be rid of 'difference'.

Early in 2017, North were rumoured to be lining up Dustin Martin, cos Martin thought the Tigs were struggling to go anywhere.

The rest is now history
