Nick Gill to make AFL debut

[hearts on fire]

Give the guy ago, the Crows have nothing to lose....

Ridiculous statement - the Crows are out of the eight on percentage after two prelim final years. They have an enormous amount to lose.

but no one really thinks the Crows have a chance, they may make the eight but are they going to cause any problems?

No. Not this poster, anyway.

fair enough, we all have our opinions, the crows may make the eight but they will not be a real threat and thats just my opinion

[McAlmanac]

Er, I was agreeing.

Great stuff, good luck Nick, finally i get to see you play for at least one of my teams .

[the joker]

get your money on nick gill for the first goal of the game he will get either Andrew Welsh or henry slattery. and will kill them in the air.

Betting on him for the first point would be smarter, have you seen him kick?

yes I saw Nick at his best last sunday I could kick better left footed

[NFC]

Yay, another Crows forward who can't kick.

[Wedgie]

Wasn't far off, a good mark, 2 possies and 2 points.
Looking the part though, go Gilly!
Ive never barracked so loud for a Crows player!

[hearts on fire]

hahahaha, he can't kick, hahahaha

North supporters have said for the last 2 years that the only difference between Gilly being a SANFL player and a AFL superstar is the simple fact he can't kick.

As has been mentioned, pity he cant kick straight or he would have had a real imapct today. Good to see him get a run anyway.

Supporting comment pasted from the Adelaide v. Essendon thread:

I actually find afl cames hard to watch, due to the soft umpiring interpretations.
The crows are in big strife now, good to see Gill have a crack, but, yeah, he was pretty jittery in front of goal eh.

I would have thought he Crows would have had someone working with him on his kicking all this season - unless they never intended to use him this year! At least he competes as does Maric - I'd like to see them both get more time on the ground for the rest of the season.

Earlier this week KG was asked by Pilko about how good 'this Nick Gill' is. KG responded by saying 'Yeah he's good, he's got a great kick'! Thus proving that KG is not only deluded, he tells porkies - I doubt he had ever seen Gill play until today.

Coming from a club that has probably the best, most technically corrrect kicker ever as an assistant (one D Jarman), it is totally amazing how ordinary a kick both he and Perrie are.

Of course he wouldn't have, he's clueless.

You should have seen his kick before Fudd waved his magic coaching wand

[Dutchy]

In all seriousness, these guys are full time footballers, surely this can be improved in a matter of weeks, just takes time and dedication if they are serious....

Comment Wally May....

"If you can't kick, you can't play!"

[Zorro]

Nick is an average kick at best but I think nerves had a fair bit to do with it today. Yes they were gimmes but an average kick becomes even more average in those circumstances.

Definitely some work to do but he'll never be Fud. The Crows knew that when they drafted him.

[McAlmanac]

He blasted them - they weren't timid kicks.
