You can't see it in the clip but at the ground it was obvious, he handballed into a time portal just in front of the advancing Bulldogs, and the ball simultaneously exited the time portal on the other side, near Cunners.

But don't get too excited folks, word is the AFL are soon to introduce a rule banning the use of time portals, as North Melbourne have gained unfair advantage from the use of these infinite gravity singularities.

Weight of disposals can often be misleading at the elite level with the advanced structures and game plans etc But to find the pill 34 plus times on average at Under 18 level probably holds a clue to this kid's innate abilities.

They're being really extra picky when the unfair advantage only reduced the final margin by 6 points.

Mmm yes

The biggest challenge for us will be holding on to him though unfortunately

Why?

 

[Billy Not Really]

So incredibly important to our ball movement, his eyes as the players move around him are insane, he was still popping off handballs with laser precision out of a pack to find a loose man.

Starting to wonder how we ever coped without him, he can kick, he can mark, he can defend, he can chase & tackle.

What's not to like?

His hands and vision were mesmerising at times today. Also had eight tackles.

'Cos all South Aussies hot foot it back to Adelaide at the first opportunity apparently.

What people don't realize is that our player retention is very good.

Treat them well and we given we don't completely suck balls for the next 5 years there's no reason for him to consider leaving.

For us he was the equal 5th highest possession winner, had the most tackles, and played 85% TOG.

Really enjoying what he brings just from that standpoint, but considering how well he brings other blokes into the game with those insane handballs he may well be polling in the Syd.

 

[RightWingRoo]

Put a nice 3 year extension in front of him now, head off any sniffing around by the SA sides. Just looks super comfortable at the level, the Pickett/Powell deal will be win-win.

Whatever they use to measure it would blow up. He's so ******* good. Does stuff you expect from 150 gamers. Pretty much every time he has the ball you know it's going to find a teammate in a better position

 

[Too_many_talls]

No. 1 reason to go to the Footy. Look out when he has an AFL body!

 

[rooboy_07]

Legit gun.

 

[sruss]

Is he a chance for the RS this week? Nill interest in watching other teams play at the moment so not sure if Swans have another Academy freebie that the media can salivate over or not

 

[scottywiper]

He's a stick. When he's tackling he simply hangs on for as long as he can before being brushed off.
Looks a real find.

Nope Sholl 31 touches and 1 goal for the crows today. However, it will come eventually.
