Has a pretty good goalkicking technique, hope he gets plenty of chances to use it, especially if they use a 2 on 1 v Browny, as is the norm.

 

[groo]

I can only presume he was heat affected and had a racing heart. Fingers crossed anyway. Appreciate the reports mate! [emoji106]

Maybe he was told of the impeding call up and got over excited? Or maybe the selection committee don't even know he didn't finish the game. Both scenarios are equally likely.

Brad said "we will try a few new things up forward."

I suspect we'll see BBB up the ground a lot more and Larkey in the arc.

Larkey needs to play FF. Brown can move up with Woody being the outlet on the wing.

Noticed big chunky calves on him at 57 seconds in. And decent thigh size. Good to see. I'm sure he's been working hard on the rest of it too, but adding mass in the legs is probably more important in the overall picture anyway.

 

[ferball]

Onya Nick. Hope you kick a bag.

 

[muttley45]

Someone should tell Nick that walking around with shoelaces undone is a recipe for disaster

 

[Friday Night Lights]

Bloke has had the best part of 2 years to stew over a 0 possession debut. It must have been torture. Rapt for him that he finally gets his chance again. Congrats, Nick!

 

[The Dingrel]

If I remember correctly, in Larkey’s famous “zero stat“ first game, the commentators kept mentioning the fact that he was leading really well and appeared to have a very good footy brain. He just couldn’t complete the deal on the day. If that still is the case (and why shouldn’t it be?), then he surely deserves another crack.

Yeah he looked good. Got good seperation on the lead looked just spilled what were relatively simple marks. Occassion probably got the better of him

So we've waited until the perfect time with no pressure to bring him back in.

 

[bennymate]

Mildy alarming when you realise that 1 of the last 18 Frosty Miller Medal winners actually had a respectable AFL career. And that was our very own Aaron Edwards.

 

[Thewlis Dish]

Pods went okay.

 

[bennymate]

Pods went okay.

He did and i completely overlooked him, if we can get a pods for a kid picked in the 70s ill take it lol

 

[benbanjo]

That interview is disturbing. The reason being is that you can see, he was fed up of not getting a look in. Rightly so too.

 

[Roo182]

Best of luck to the big fulla!

A couple of things concern me, neither of them personally problems I see with Nick, but more evidence that things are not right. The more likely truth is I've become so suspicious of everything coming out of the club that I'm reading too much in to things.

1. Said he didn't get a look in last year as we did well. I don't remember us winning the flag? Do casual comments from across the club reflect that we're happy with mediocrity?

2. Right at the end, Nick went to say he looked forward to doing his best, but quickly corrected himself to say he looked forward to playing his role. Even this bloke, who showed a bit of character and likes a laugh has been reprogrammed to a robot.

Maybe I'm just over tired from wrestling with the kids all week!

[The acurate one]

Should be well primed and filled with confidence after his three effective disposal game against * last week.

I wish him all the best and are rapt he's playing but sheesh we're now just swinging wildly outside off and hoping to make contact.

 

[RooBoyz24]

Nick it’s time to show us that you can kick a few and show that we need you in the Senior side.Good Luck and play him for the rest of the season.

 

[Heaps of fun]

I don't know why anyone is calling this a high pressure game? Our year is done. Pressure is off.

I wouldn't call it a high pressure game but it's a would really like to absorb pressure kind of game.

Nah it's just another game that we would like to win. ya know, just like the last 5.
