No turn of foot = no threat at fullback

He has a good turn of pace when fit. Add to that his height he is a difficult player to contain.

He is fit
Stop making excuses for him ..

Ha, it is pretty obvious he is playing injured.

He’s been copping it left, right and centre all season.

If only we could complain about Packer, Sayforth, Eisenhuth, Jennings or Mbye after running 200m!

Despite having a lot more good performances than bad. People think since he’s not fast he’s useless when he’s showed plenty of upside in his game

Managers promoting wingers as fullbacks have no clue. All they do is put pressure on clubs salary caps, reduce the quality of the back up and potentially make their players less successful in the long term.

If JAC is so keen he should ask to put performance measures in there to protect the club/reward him if he can get it done. Winger salary (international) as baseline Y1 and match payment increase for every game he plays at FB. Y2 have an agreed increase if he makes a fist of it.

If he thought he could do it he won't have a problem, if he won't back himself....keep walking or take what's on offer.

Safe to say most the team is playing injured

What has Doueihi shown from Fullback to suggest he would be a good 6?

We have seen him kick long and bomb well. He has thrown some good and some great passes including the cutout passes. It is the vision he shows when he throws the pass, he can see which player has the space that makes him suitable for 5/8 to me.

He is also a strong ball runner and could be a similar 5/8 to Jack Wighton.

He rally looks like he is protecting an injury when he turns side on to tackle at the moment.

I’m thinking he has a leg injury which is restricting his speed. In the past few games when a ball runner breaks through our middle, he manages to get hands on, but just not fast enough to get arms around. Teddy or Paps nail those moments.

I don’t know what position he is best suited to but what i do know is he is an asset to the team.

The only issue with him at FB is his speed.

He may make a smooth transition to 5/8 but will need a strong halfback to support him. Jock Madden seems to have some raps around him, I haven’t seen him play so i cannot really say much about him.

The talk is we are getting JAC at FB which might be OK but he doesn’t ball play nor does he kick so the only benefit we would get out of him is his support play and hope he makes a break here and there. In the modern game you need someone who can ball play.

Also Melbourne are not silly, they want someone to replace JAC and the replacement will not be George Jennings or Paul Momo...So it’s probably going to be Nofa...not worth it IMO

Adam Doueihi is Bellamy’s kind of player.

Madge was asked 2 weeks ago if Doohey was playing injured ..

Madge said no “ he’s fine “

Not a fullback

He’s a bench player at any other club, but at WT his best position is Full Back. Usually very safe under the high ball, but lately opposition have been targeting him.

 

[the_third]

if he sniffed around up the middle in support we would be far better off. This really shows he his learning as a fullback. coaches should be all over him.

Hopefully he doesn't get a lesson from Tedesco this week....

:joy: :joy:

He's destined to fill our 6 jersey...

I reckon Asu will be the long term fullback. But in the meantime he needs to go practice catching bombs in the forest behind Leichhardt.

No he doesn't, I've got a better turn of foot running backwards in thongs

 

[momo_amp_medo]

I like what he brings to the team ..... but like some on here .... not quite sure where he fits.
Time will tell. For mine he is caring some sort of injury as he was looking more zippy earlier in the season.

 

[JC99]

For anyone saying he doesn’t carry the ball back well, he’s got the second most kick return metres in the league. He’s not fast but he’s strong often breaking tackles and gaining ground

He’s shown enough to prove to most that he’s going to be a fixture in the 17 for a long time. Can’t see him being shopped around like Mbye or Reynolds after 2 years. He’s a legitimate captain option pending what happens with Mbye.
