and….Condello and McCollough killing it as starting mids for Oakleigh. Bodes well for next year

El had a better game too. Finding some confidence.

A total of 3 marks in 3 games and 1 goals. Not sure how the kid is getting a game

Bit harsh.

The reality is he’s probably struggling a little with the changes to his game. He was always the biggest, strongest and a key target. At 190cm that’s gonna change and he’ll have to adapt his game to suit…give him time to see if he can reinvent himself

Trying to get confirmation but it appears Essendon have ANOTHER highly rated kid at Calder who has been right in front of us this whole time.

Isa Mehri, a 177cm small defender likened to Jacob Harbrow has arguably been the most impressive of the large 2027 cohort playing with Calder in the opening two weeks.

Looming as a likely second, third round prospect, Essendon continue to build on a strong local contingent of eligible NGA's

[will confirm once it is by the club]

The game was called off at HT due to lightning, but I was impressed with Matar. A lot of intercept marks down back.

really wanted to see both Gab and Ronan, both have featured at Cannons level. Matar is just turning 16 this year so could see a rapid rise.
