Uhh, he's gone from a twig to a barrel chest in a summer.
I thought I was going to be mad about how much of a puff piece that was, but it actually looked A LOT like James.
Also, was sired in the premiership year.

 

[blitzer]

I'll have to see him fully recovered from the navicular and playing games before i start to get excited. Bulking up when you can't run all that much isn't that exciting so lid on for me.

 

[Cup_o_Jobe]

Yep lid on, roger that, sound approach, etc.

By the by, when was the last father-son combo to both win norm smiths? Or would this time be the first?

Firstly “was sired in the premiership year” is a really great sentence to behold.

Looking at his birth date and working back... there was a 101 point flogging of Richmond on July 1, 2000. Feels like an auspicious time to create a Tom.

I was at that game.! Big Ses kicked 5, Lloyd kicked 4 and even old mate Fletcher kicked 3.

Gaj and Gaj?

Gaj and Gaj?

Junior didn’t win one (Stevie J ‘07 and Chappy ‘09). Closest I think is Maurice and Cyril Rioli (uncle-nephew) and Longy is married into that family too.

As an addendum, Jnr almost won in 08 but was pipped by Luke Hodge (broken ribs, defensive general, chief of rushed behinds, good bloke etc)

Michael and Jake Long?

Michael and Jake Long?

Oh yes of course, how could I forget that GF we played in where Jake Long not only made the 22 of a team capable of qualifying for a GF but was adjudged best afield?

Jake always did make the most of his opportunities.

I hear Dean Robinson II has the good stuff. Hope we’re bringing him in as the S&C coordinator.

Jeez that was laughable. Media award I guess, they jizz over Hodge.

I know Hawthorn won but bloody hell... it’s an individual award and Ablett was the best individual on the ground by the length of the Stuart Highway.

Damned 32-bit time_t overflow made the world go crazy.

What are his chances for a debut this year?

Showing too much arm to be Jim.

Must be mirror image, looks like he's kicking with his left.

 

[SydneyBomber]

And not enough ear. Yet.

 

[Stopher]

And not enough ear. Yet.

And kicking on his left??

 

[Lore]

They're really selling this angle aren't they? Hope he can live up to the pressure :\

 

[DapperJong]

Hird immunity
