There is no ******* way he took that out.
mate, we sit on level 2, literally in line with the boundry, at the right angle, and it wasnt even that close to the line. the umpire guessed. it really is starting to get to the point that we need to make umpires and their decisions accountable, just like players, coaches and clubs in general.

Someone on this website gave him a big rap last year before the draft. Don't remember whop but they were right on. This kid has something.

That stuff on the boundary that was "out" ... unreal. Third game draft pick doing that, backing himself ... fantastic. And I loved that goal on the line in front of Garner. His hunger was excellent.
Yes I posed the question in the draft thread out of personal intersr and someone gave the big tick.

I will find the One with Wisdom today

He is so good at it he even sold candy to the umpire in making him believe it was out when it was still in :drunk:

What I love about this kid and Garner as well to a lesser extent is how little both have played in the last 18 months , add to the fact that they've both had precious little pre seasons is that it was on a pretty big stage not just for themselves but the club as a whole , the boys lifted and found another gear ... that's what match winners do . that's great teams have ... forwards that can swing a game in 5 minutes & we have 2 of them sitting in our forward line as well as Wood and I've also got very high hopes for McKay . F*** I'm excited .
