[eth-dog]

Browny and Raz kicked 8.2...the rest kicked 5.19 haha

Plus 2.0 from Smith...

 

[yodellinhank]

Do not underestimate how well this gent played tonight. Kept us in it. Kicked goals when we needed them. Great game!

kicked well and presented well

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Plus 2.0 from Smith...

there were 4 rushed behinds...so smith, raz, and brown 10.2 and the rest 3 goals 15 behinds to be precise. lmao

His drop punt from the boundary to put six points on the board after the team missing so many just steadied the ship at the right time.

Yep.

Is the absolute epitome of a role player. Take marks, link up between the midfield and forward group and finally, kick goals.

Doesn't need to do lots of each KPI but enough to keep the team ticking over and once again tonight showed just how valuable a role player is to a team.

Will play his 50th game 7 years and 1 month (almost exactly) after his debut. Well done big fella, kick a bag

Drafted in 2008.

5 games a year haha. Definition of a journeyman.

Admirable persistence, well done Mitch.

 

[Zach Package]

Ridiculous, There are players from that draft that have had entire careers at multiple clubs and have now long retired and there are players nearing or past 200 games.

Unbelievable journeymanship

Given he has twice broken his leg he has done well to stay on this far. Much better player than people give him credit for.

I'm enjoying his work up forward this year. Its actually pretty huge for the club that guys like McKernan and Brown have stood up for us in the forward line. I'd definitely be wanting to keep him on the list since he's proven himself handy up forward and in defense. That's really useful depth in my opinion.

 

[Keystone agony]

Hes a certainty to be at the club still next year. Has kicked 10 goals in last 6 games. Will never cost heaps and can play both ends and also pinch hit ruck if really required.

 

[Bigjobss]

Loving his game recently, a forward line leader of sorts and his contested marking has been fantastic.

Also looks a lot like this guy or am I crazy?

 

[Blind Turn]

Above expectations. Which is so so satisfying to see.

 

[Falcon27]

Just keeps doing his job

 

[Red Black and Blue]

If you watched highlights of his last 5 weeks you’d expect him to be one of the best forwards in the comp. Has kicked some massive goals in massive moments.

 

[Vindicater]

Has been playing the best footy of his life the last five weeks. Good to see.

 

[scottmclaren]

Covered a lot of ground last night and is a big reason we are playing so well.

 

[Bombers36]

Put my hand up and say I've been guilty of under-rating this fella, but has been pretty decent this year - has a great tank, provides a contest even if he doesnt have the marking prowess of some of our other forward options like Daniher/Smack

 

[DapperDon]

Really stepped up last night. The mids torched him early by bombing it into him and 3 Swans but mid second quarter and after half time he really got himself into the game from good old pure gut running. Took important marks and kicked important goals when it was needed. Just a really impressive game.

Absolutely changed the dynamic of our fwd line in the second half. Was good to see us honour and use him

 

[Old Stuckup]

Will be very stiff to get squeezed out if/when Daniher returns.

I think we're still a tall down, stringer replaced smack but nobody replaced stringer?

 

[Highly Evolved]

I was stoked for him that he slotted the goal after the siren at half time. Handled the pressure well.

 

[Zach Package]

I always found it staggering that we used him at the back, his feel for the game is as good as anyone key forward out there

Just went back to look back at that 2008 draft class. Lots and lots of almost players in there. We have actually done very well out of it.
