Saw him at the game last year and jeez he look young. He's going to be a star though. Big wraps for him

 

[thylacine60]

[PrinceCharles]

Will play a massive role in #17, 18 & 19.

 

[Captain Cripps]

Great first up game, not because of the goal and possessions, but how he wanted to present himself to the contest.

Great sign for a first up game

Reckon I was one of many who said "who" when drafted. Kid looks a ripper - and more importantly its great to hear from the club about both his individual drive, but also the mentoring from Lobbe.

I'm a fan. Really raw and there's limbs going everywhere, but he showed enough to make me feel pretty damn confident about his future. Repeat efforts, lunging to try and make a tackle, some clean pickups off the deck, didn't put too much height on it when he kicked to front-and-centre for Charlie, tried to present when possible, etc.

11 disposals, 8 contested possessions, 5 marks (2 CM), 1 goal, 2 score involvements, a clearance, 3 tackles, 3 hitouts, an inside 50... not too bad for a 2m tall baby giraffe in his first outing...

I liked the combination of Charlie, Harry & Tom. Meant we usually had 1 of them up on the wing for that long kick down the line. Like that Harry > Tom > Charlie > goal passage of play. Great stuff.

We did a live draft podcast last year. Pretty sure my/our reaction was similar to wtf?

SOS and his team did very well. Like the connection between Dow, O'Brien, Schumacher and TDK. Really went for that unity.

I kept a bit of an eye on his performances in the TAC Cup last year after his name popped up in the best players for the Stingrays early on (& a number of times afterwards) & I guessed he was one of Terry De Koning's boys. I remembered the old man from his short career at the Doggies in the '80s.
