Exciting prospect and ant wait to see him play, but needs to put on a bit of muscle. I saw McKay tackle him at training and had to ease off on the tackle otherwise I feel he would have snapped him in half.

Come on mate. He's not the biggest bloke but do you really have to label him like that?

 

[desie]

He's small but has a crack.

Big or small, everyone has a crack.

I noticed this more than once also. The players are clearly conscious of not buckling him too hard. It won't happen in a match.

I'd give him a while yet.

The train I was in charge of has now become the Spicer Ferry.

Who knows the future, but I have a really good feeling on him.

Get on board!

I know it was only one quarter when everyone else was buggered and the sting had gone out of the game but I thought he looked lively.

Perhaps not as far away as first thought.

You're welcome to join my Spicer Ferry as previous

I'm the Captain thank you very much.

Just play him. Gonna be a long year so a few highlights won't go astray.

Agree.

I was really disappointed he was given such little opportunity

 

[ChoppyGun]

Why did he only get some minutes at the end?

Turner was spudding it up all game, surely we could have given him some minutes in the first half.

Isn't that what practice matches are for?

Phillips also. Disappointing imo.

It was the last hitout before the season kicks off, you've still got to present some semblance of the side that's going to run out in Rd 1. At this stage, that side certainly doesn't include Spicer and Powell/Lazarro are tracking ahead of Phillips.

Spicer will be fine. Has got the necessary attributes and ball winning to build form in the vfl until he’s ready. Still raw.

Well how can I fill my Spicer Ferry if he doesn't get enough airtime?!

Agreed, he'll be given all the time in the world.

 

[shinboner magic]

You’d reckon he’d get a game or two this year.
Didn’t look out of place

 

[king rising]

So excited about the potential of this kid. Has a serious trick bag and pace to burn

 

[ChoppyGun]

He's quick!

That in itself is exciting even if he never touches the ball in his career.

 

[The Dingrel]

Agree.

i thought he impacted the game a lot when he came on. Created a lot of pressure and with it opportunities thatgot the game on our terms in the final quarter.

 

[ChoppyGun]

Thought showed plenty.

Buzzing around. Fast.

Sure he isn't ready but exciting when he is.

How good was it to see a North player actually capable of closing in on an opponent?

I try to remember Byron needed a year to break in. On the other hand Phoenix isn’t exactly competing with the 1996 premiership team for a spot.
