Past #16: Aiden Bonar - drafted by GWS #11 '17 ND - traded to NM end '19 - 25 NM games - thx Bon

[Kanga Glory]

Only 22 years young, talks very level headed.
kids these days a lot more mature than I was at their age .

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

fair point; barring the night with de Goey, Bonar's performances were going the right way when the team was under water

I took that as inexperience. He played on a very footy smart forward.

 

[Psicosis]

Wouldn't be surprised if he's top 5-8 in our BNF prior to being injured this year. Was very impressive & earnt the two years.

What stood out for me... "He keeps the vibes up, it's like we've won every week" - Bonar on Noble.

 

[DEVO]

Bonar is an athletic freak. He's basically building to be a Spud Firrito, with pace.

I’ll take one of those.

Congrats to Aiden, you started the season very well, the new contract is well deserved.

 

[Horizons_00]

Great stuff. Get his body right and looking forward to seeing him in that backline soon!

Is Atley's replacement.

I think more Ziebell. I’m hoping Perez or Atu take Atleys spot.

I was thinking like-for-like in terms of replacing players and both are pacey and strong lockdown types that offer a bit of rebound here and there. I would love Perez and Atu in there as well.

2022 Back 6:

Bonar - McKay - Tarrant
Hall - Corr - Ziebell

Remove JZ and put LMAC back to where he should be and that is the back 6.

Not going to happen.

 

[Frank Thring]

Not going to happen.

Perez?

 

[Psicosis]

Perez?

Ziebell will be in the back 6 next year. Noble seems to like LMac up the ground (I do expect him to move back there later in his career). Fingers crossed Perez will get back on the park.

I think turner will slot in there when we need a job done, but agree that is my starting back 6

Definitely Turner

 

[the flying ham]

Bloody great result with Bonar developing like this. Really clever recruiting and also coaching to recognise that he might be a better defender than inside mid

[Billy Not Really]

Rapt to have him on board, he's been one of the biggest improvers since he came to the club and was seriously showing some elite attributes at senior level with his speed and ability to defend and his execution was getting tidied up a bit.

Also he's a deceptively large bloke, in the video he looks massive.

 

[Mjs94]

Perez?

Takes Hall's spot by the end of 2022 hopefully - not a shot at Hall

 

[Shagga is all Class]

Good. Prototype defender. Some height and leap and uses his definite speed to get to contests. Some skills. Will rebound like no man's if he gets his confidence up.

Just the body that stands in the road for him.

 

[shinboner magic]

Think when he gets more confidence in his body , he’ll be even better.
Probably play the ziebs role

 

[Ligma]

He gives me a lady Bonar
