I really didn't think CJ would make it but so happy to be wrong.

His composure and decision making has come a long way, it didn't hurt having Impey streaming out of defence in support either.

I reckon the commentators mentioned his 'athleticism' every time he touched the ball but would have liked them to make mention of the other parts of his game he's obviously worked hard on to improve over the pre season

I agree, but I wouldn’t be holding my breath with Darce and Richo.

CJ is going to be some kind of player though. If we can keep his development on track he could be anything. Him Day Impey and Scrimshaw will be an attacking backline like no other.

Clarko better tell Frost to hang back or there will be 5 opposition forwards unattended!

Hoping that this attacking group from the back half could be revolutionary, a new Clarko coaching strategy to disrupt the opposition defensively which opens up the game, get it forward quickly and we score!

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Very good. "Hybrid" in particular got me

 

[The Chad and I]

Thing is, he has elite athleticism.
His decision making is merely sound; but yeah, his kick to Brockman was a nice bit of play that combined both.
It should have been mentioned because the placing a perfect 50m pass at full pace is difficult.

 

[threesixpio]

To be fair to him, it was in response to how Daniher himself had acted in other games. Went through this phase of rubbing opposition players heads, jumping on them and ruffling their hair in response to goals. Sicily only dished back!

That’s makes it even better

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Unless you’re Brad Hill in our threepeat team - s**t was routine for him.

CJ sprinting out of defence, along the wing and then nailing a 50m pass to a guy playing his first game and kicking a goal.

Absolutely loved this.

Reminds me of 05/06. No idea where this group will end up but it's gonna be a great ride with some moments like this.

Surprised there were no name changes to Jiath2Brockman after watching it.

 

[The Chad and I]

Unless you’re Brad Hill in our threepeat team - sh*t was routine for him.

He was more of a 35m precision pass kind of guy, but bloody good still!
I wish we had him.

The thing with CJ is he is so bloody quick that when he breaks into space the zones ahead of the ball struggle to adjust in time - so he doesn’t need to kick a perfect pass, just to kick to space/advantage of our forwards and that’s generally enough.

Are you saying cj breaks the space time continuum because I like the sound of it

Warp speed mode

What I've noticed, the kid is always smiling! It's bloody infuriating, none can be that damn happy all the time!

Has to balance out Kent Brockman who never smiles I guess.

I am surprised that no one has compared his athleticism to Franklin. Jordan Lewis said this morning on radio that Franklin could do 15 x 150m off one minute rest in 17 seconds. That is seriously elite. Don't know what CJ can do off the same regime but he was a sub 50 second runner in high school as Franklin was - believe he had a 48 sec PB in high school. We know that he won our second 2k time trial beating Finn who can seriously run. His speed/endurance is probably on par with Bradey Hill but much more physical and around 7-8 cm taller.

Said it before and ill say it again, could well be the next Kouta...

And he's an intercept marker. Only 21 years old.

No ceiling.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Love how this guy is progressing.

I reckon he's becoming even bigger than a cult hero.
All the talk at work today in regards to the Hawks was how good CJ and Day looked.

 

[Mitchell Madness]

cult hero

More of a fan favourite. He's taking the game on which has made fans adore him

 

[GerryLewis]

He was all the Tigers fans around me could talk about. So eye catching..

[Hawk Dork]

cant wait to see him after 50 games

Am I wrong in saying its probably the first time since Cyril a players name has been used in a “chant” on the bottom of the Southern Stand. There was the “CJ, clap clap clap” happening yesterday!
