Re: 21. Mark Austin
Rated by Mr.Hughes as a potential gun defender who can play CHB for us and thought that he was a bargain at pick 35. Hope the wraps on him are right and it's great to hear that Bryce will settle in Melbourne with one of his best mates in Mark Austin. Hope they both become Carlton legends.
Think the kid has a bright future, hopefully he will do well in the two's and next year or the year after join the seniors.

Re: 21. Mark Austin
Watched him on the weekend and he barely got near the ball.
Can anyone shed some light on his progress?

Re: 21. Mark Austin
I have to say i didn't think he did much on the weekend.

Re: 21. Mark Austin
IIRC he was probably about the youngest taken in the draft, probably hasn't turned 18 yet and is playing in a tall side abundant with KPD, so lets give him some time. He isn't going to rip apart games. I haven't watched my tape of the game yet as I was away. You say he didn't do much, did he beat his man, stick to his task but get beaten by a more experienced opponent, get his colours lowered by a nobody?

Re: 21. Mark Austin
Thanks guys, very informative
And while we're at it, sure, let's expect an 18 y.o KPD to star week in week out in his first year

Re: 21. Mark Austin - melbdave81
I saw the game Gilly: Austin reminds me of a young Thornton at the same age. Good piose, balance and run for guy his size. My observation was he had a job to do and is yet to fully learn (confidence) when to break away and create an attacking rebounding option.
This will come with both experience and also confidence in himself. Some watchers forget that he has only played a handful of games with these guys: not to mention a handful last year (injury).

Re: 21. Mark Austin - melbdave81
Was pretty quiet on the weekend again.
However, when he has the ball, uses it pretty well. Has courage as well. Looks like he will need a while to develop, but there are certainly signs which suggest he could become a quality player.

Re: 21. Mark Austin - melbdave81
I thought his last half was really good. I think this guy might be a player. Good overhead and pretty quick. Looks pretty ballanced when he has the ball. A long way off but moving in the right direction

Re: 21. Mark Austin - melbdave81
He mightn't have had a massive impact in the game, but he really impressed me. Looks the goods.

Re: 21. Mark Austin - melbdave81
Congratulations to Mark for getting selected to make his debut.
Have watched him a few times for the Ants and have been very impressed with him. Could have got a call up to the senior team a few weeks ago, but happy that he is finally getting a chance.
Let's not jump down his back if he doesn't rip the game apart.
REALLY looking forward to him making his debut.

Re: 21. Mark Austin - melbdave81
Putting it out there, has Mark Austing got the biggest neck of any Carlton player?
Could Giraffe be his new nickname? haha
Seriously though, he is looking much bigger than previous years. His progression is VERY important to our team
