[Beerfish]

Contract Status: Unrestricted Free Agent 2029
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 3, Dave

 

[Old Stuckup]

Any update/confirmation about the rumour he's broken his hand?

Don't think anything's been released. Nothing official anyways.

 

[Yoda_]

Reminds me a little of Sean Wellman. May be clutching at straws but his mannerism's and movements remind me of him.

I get a bit of the left-footed version of Sean Wellman vibes about him too. A cool head, good decision maker and versatile.

Great minds do think alike

Great minds do think alike

You sure you want to go with that when he said he was a left footer

 

[VelvetSledge]

Just so mature and composed.

 

[Howard Moon]

that moment when he broke along the wing and bounced twice before hitting up a target - that's his future

Got the makings of a future board member

 

[yodellinhank]

Or we could leave him in defence and not make the mistake we did with Myers.

We shoulda picked Willie Rioli?

 

[Maddogm]

I haven't been this relaxed when this guy has ball in hand since Caracella. It's like my blood pressure just hits the supra freeze mode.

You might want to see a doctor about that

 

[TheGrizz]

We shoulda picked Willie Rioli?

What the heck does Willie Rioli have to do with anything?
Unless you are referring to the fact we picked Myers over Cyril - which is old ground.

I meant more the taking a perfectly promising defender and trying to shoe horn them into the midfield.

 

[essendon]

The Rid and Red man both played very well and deserve a good consecutive run of games....clearly the future with those running around....Franga you need to up the ante ...I want you in their as well !!

 

[eDPS]

89% efficiency pretty good for the standard of game and pressure he was under

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

89% efficiency pretty good for the standard of game and pressure he was under

amazing really considering the rest of the team went at about 65%

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

3rd year player but physically still looking like a raw recruit - must still be growing or maybe he is on the Andrew Mackie weight program.

9 Marks

 

[yaco55]

Struggled with intensity today but gradually got into the game - He'll derive lots of experience from today's game.

Struggled with intensity today but gradually got into the game - He'll derive lots of experience from today's game.

It's the first time he and Redman have played in a game even close to that sort of that intensity.

Both struggled early but both came good in the end.

 

[eth-dog]

Play him on Ablett next week.

Play him on Ablett next week.

Redman or Guelfi I would have thought

 

[eth-dog]

Redman or Guelfi I would have thought

Guelfi's a midfielder. Ablett is spending most of his time I50 from what I've seen. Redman I think takes Rohan. I want to see how he goes against a genuine star of the game.

Would prefer the taller Ridley on Rohan and the shorter and quicker Redman on Ablett.

 

[Ambrosia]

Would prefer the taller Ridley on Rohan and the shorter and quicker Redman on Ablett.

Rohan scores most his goals with his pace though.

 

[eDPS]

Rohan scores most his goals with his pace though.

It’s hard to explain, at ground level Ablett is a lot more dangerous and that’s where I think Redman has Ridley covered

 

[TheGrizz]

Would prefer the taller Ridley on Rohan and the shorter and quicker Redman on Ablett.

Rohan is one of the strongest players in the comp pound for pound and would monster Ridley one on one.
Ambrose is the better match up size wise and in terms of explosiveness.

Ambrose - Rohan
Hurley - Ratugolea
Hooker - Hawkins
Saad - Ablett
Redman - Grier
Ridley - resting mid/atkins

Hurley would be giving away some serious height there. Ratugolea is a tricky match up. Where are you starting McKenna?

RIP McKenna, we hardly knew ye.
