So humble, so grounded, so mature.

He was clearly just as happy for George as he was for himself in getting selected, possibly more so. Same goes for his family.

We should try to pinch George.

Should have drafted him in the first place.

Here we go…

Here we go…

Wish list for the draft:

Forward capable of having a day out - has a history of kicking 5+ goals in a game - preference for KPF but open to any height

Run and carry defender with foot skills.

Setterfield back up/successor - big midfielder that loves the crash and bash - someone to clear the way for Tsatas et. al. into the future

Caddy and Stevens were heavily my wish list with ambivalence on the running defender. Was so happy when we traded back in and Stevens was still on the board, thought it might actually happen. Then we pulled an Essendon and didn't draft the unheralded bullocking midfielder. When I found him and Lual were friends, I was even more annoyed.

Stevens was pretty bloody heralded for a bloke that got drafted in the late 50s.

How is he going?

Is he the only one that’s not injured that’s not named in their the VFL or AFL?

Bit sore maybe? I haven’t seen anything on an injury for him

Fallen through the cracks.

I saw him doing handball drills with the rehab group on x, blitz, FB or something. Injured but not reported

Common enough with players that haven’t debuted and aren’t likely to for a while (doubly so when the injury happened in preseason).

Lets give Lual some love too. Best game I've seen from him so far. Especially that first half. Quaynor like, great athletism to spoil taller than he is, good straight line runner and despite one or two where he nearly missed his foot, really nice clean retention of the football. Probably aiming for that Kelly spot and wouldn't be surprised if he just keeps improving at an impressive rate to pinch a game or two late in the season.

I've got a good feeling about Lual.

I think he is a chance to debut later on this season, he seems to be progressing well.

Too often he just gets completely lost from what I've seen. Needs to start by sticking to his opponent. He can use his pace and acceleration from there. Hasn't got a good enough read ATM to play as loosely as he has been.
