Joey on Drmic: It's a Mystery

In the end the facts are is was brought in as a shooter but cant hit a shot. Therefore not fulfilling his role.

He definitely has similar athletic ability to Madgen, so I'd concur with that assessment.

Size hasn't stopped Sobey. Athleticism hasn't stopped Madgen.

There just seem to be some players who can translate their ability from one level to another without fear (Sobey, evidently) and others who seem to have mental awareness of where they are, and lose confidence when put up a level. CJ Massingale floundered at NBL level, right? Always thought Jason Williams was a little the same back in the day.

I'd be running plays to try and get him easy victories - layups or assist - anything that might get him going.

Well dazz if so, maybe he should give some cash back and then no one will care how shit he is. Pressure off!

His body language is awful as soon as he comes on the court. If I didn't know Drmic before, and I'd just watched him meander his way around the court, I'd just think the guy was out of his league entirely.

He is a good spot up shooter, he just seems off at the moment. Might be the big stage, give him one off year, he will rectify it next year and come out guns blazing. Lets not forget, players have not cemented a rhythm yet - Rotnei looking horrible.

Is this a case of too much pressure on a young guy???

He has great skill, but his body has come in underdone. If he picked up his overall fitness and speed, he'd be able to use the skills he has.

He may just be a Steindl-type, who drops his shoulders and pouts once he misses, and can't get back in the game.

When I've been watching him at home games, he appears to be trying too hard and is getting down on himself very quickly. He needs to try to relax out there and believe in himself a little more. I've seen him make some good defensive reads and do a lot of little stuff well, but then he misses a shot or gets out-muscled and the call goes against him and he lets it get to him. Hopefully he finds some confidence soon!

If he were an AFL player, he would have been sent back to the SANFL to find form a couple weeks ago. Seems like he just needs to drop 30 on someone at a lower level for a couple games to get his rhythm back.

Drmic and Teys should be carrying the oranges.

Yet slightly more money. That's the real mystery Joey.

He is very much like a Nathan Sobey but with slightly less athleticism.


Slightly less, now there's an understatement.

Playing against men, as opposed to playing against boys. What percentage of College players would ever play professional ball, I wonder.

Drmic has definitely got talent and has been a very good player throughout his college career. I watched quite a few games he played for Boise State and he had a lot of good games but he almost always struggled badly when up against ranked teams.

Not sure exactly what the issue was but I would suggest it was bigger and better defenders and/or the pressure that is not there against lower ranked schools.

He is very much like a Nathan Sobey but with slightly less athleticism.

I think Randle was always going to be fine on the big stage of the real season

Worked with Randle, let's see if it works with Drmic.

Joey lighting a rocket

Over the past few weeks i have noticed a western magic billboard on port road,then another woodville warriors one just in front of hungry jacks on the opposite site of the road.Is this the beginning of a recruitment war in-between the two clubs?
