[FootySmartSimpson]

There's a few blokes who can jump in the side right now.

Top 5?

Bath
Wardlaw
Duursma
Goater
FOS

His physical transformation over the past 18 months need to be studied.

The Burwood S&C department deserves a medal.

How good did he look in the ruck?

Simply has to play every game this year

Bloke can just footy.

Exciting.

$67 for the RS.

If he kicks 40 goals, he has to go close.

 

[Swallow_Wood]

He's a perfectly balanced athlete. Powerful, explosive, agile, can leap, and add his clunkers and competitiveness, jeez louise there's a bit to like.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

How has he bulked up and still be that agile and athletic.

Fast becoming a fav.

 

[Psicosis]

Should I just ignore the fact that CCJ started in the blue team ahead of Trembath in the orange team?

No one can really be that stupid, can they?

I wouldn’t overthink it. Probably wanted him tested against the better defenders.

They kept him on the list,so yes they are stupid.

He’s cut a lot of excess weight and looks trim.

Credit to him with our S&C program…

OMG if you are alluding to a rumour that CCJ will be played infront of Trembath for round 1, I simply can’t believe it

If that were to occur, I’d instantly cancel my membership, and not got to another north game until every member of match committee was no longer at north.

That might sound like an exaggeration, but its not

Not a hope in hell. Trembath is their keen, shiny, fit new toy and they’re experimenting with all the things he might be able to do this season. CCJ hasn’t even shown that he can go for a casual jog without developing issues.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

One thing that hasn’t probably been mentioned is his vision. He is quick thinking and often sees the best option before it’s obvious, his quick fire handballs out of the contest are genuinely elite.

Love him floating back into defence while in the ruck, not many 2nd rucks are capable of impacting as an interceptor.

 

[shinboner magic]

Has ticked every box since we drafted him.

Don’t complicate it north - just play him every game.

I can see him playing as a mobile CHF ala Duck/W80 even Dish. Not as good as Duck obviously but we havn't had a player like that for nearly a decade and don't we miss it.

 

[Its a Process]

Another that should have a 3 year contract in front of him much like Hards and Wardlaw.

Bloody exciting prospect.

 

[Shinboner1]

Randoms are now saying we prefer CCJ over him? Thats why he only got 1 year.
Surely there's no truth to this..

 

[hellas_johnny]

Ccj was in blue to play as a number 1 ruck vs Goad from the start not fwd so no comparison

Why wasn't Goad in blue?

Checkmate atheists

 

[King Corey]

Because Clarkson CCJ.

Maley, Teakle, Goad.. you.. all more likely to get on the park and contribute.

Sooner Trembath and Hards are locked up, the better.

 

[Pres]

Some truly scary calls being made here for a guy that's played 3 games out of the MSD and has a one-year deal.

Agree he looks promising but hopefully people don't drop him when it gets harder for him in year 2 (as it does for them all).

Has a few strings to his bow this kid and now a body and fitness to support them.
