Mate I could have got a kick out there today. Good progress from last week but let’s see how he goes against the cats. Won’t be any easy kicks out there.

 

[Silver finger]

Still tempo slow. I reckon He will be like Jed with more skills when he turns 24.

 

[Passmore]

They'll all recede and show up elsewhere.

You can set your watch to it.

I’m convinced people want him to be no good. There’s some perverse pleasure gained from North failing.

Adelaide had a team full of kids out there today.

Ours were significantly better.

THAT'S how you look at this.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Wasn’t he stating in an interview his running is better than it’s been in a while, if ever?

Still appears to be lacking that explosive fist step he has had in the past.

 

[gokangas]

This aged well

90 friggin seconds. That was nice but in all seriousness, nuffin game for mine. Have to persevere - must play him. Still hoping for a lot more.

They are in love with their pessimism. It's an attempt to validate a very sad worldview.

You couldn’t get a touch in the VAFA 3’s, let alone today.

Unsure of how anyone could discredit the obvious positive signs he showed today. 10-20 more games of improvement, another preseason, and we will have a player

I am thinking/hoping that takes a while to come back after OP, but will come back. He looks good when he is on the move though, like his Q4 goal.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Some good signs today. Involved in some nice chains of play and finished off with a couple of goals.

Building. That’s all that matters...

 

[rickety]

He is a cruiser. Showed a few times his burst of speed, 4 or 5 steps just to get the ball, or make a yard. Got the ball plenty and fumbled plenty too, but he is getting to it. Get on board doubters the kid is good. Has a bloody good reason to not even be there.

Being?

 

[Heaps of fun]

Pathetic instant gratification culture has fully pervaded this forum. Why not actually think and extrapolate from what you see rather than be mindlessly negative to reassert a previous bullshit notion you came up with? Sad.

Jesus Christ GK you are difficult to please

If you can't see the obvious signs of class...

 

[Souup]

You can really pick the people in this thread who have and haven't played sport at a competitive level. Anyone who has played footy at any level understands the importance of a good fitness base and how much easier competing is when you're healthy.

All I'm hoping for at the moment is that he gets through games. When the fitness base is there he'll be a new player.

 

[Dirty_11]

It is his second game back FFS, small improvements every week is all we need to see.

[Flawed Genius]

A "nothing" game though. Good grief

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

That crumbing goal on his left was pure pornography.

It would be banned in some conservative countries.

Being?

Sorry mate I won't say, but it's genuine

 

[cznsnowy91]

Freos poor drafting?

Roger. Let wild speculation abound!!

I don't say this lightly but this is a Facebook tier comment.

 

[hilly]

How many games has he played in the last 12 months? If he's physically up to it I'd love to see him play out the season from here.
