Played well. Great composure. Seems to make the right decisions all the time.

Lacks a bit of strength at this point in time but should be played every game.

Can we not Essington him and allow the kid to play multiple games in a row please.

Kthanx

regards


Essendon faithful

Smooth mover & a great kick. Hope he never plays 2nds again.

 

[mad_monkey_j]

Just a great decision maker. No way he should be dropped from here.

 

[Vander18]

The lad has composure.

Was good tonight. Should hold his spot, should never have been out.

 

[Doss]

Keep him in. Keep him in. Keep him in.

He is going to be a seriously good player.

 

[Yoda_]

Keep him in. Keep him in. Keep him in.

He is going to be a seriously good player.

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

 

[yodellinhank]

Keep him in. Keep him in. Keep him in.

Read that in sandy roberts voice.

I actually thought he was caught out a bit by the speed of the game. I'm sure if they keep him in that'll sort itself out.

It was interesting watching him tonight. He did some spectacular things, including clearing the ball a number of times where it looked like he had no chance but then a few basic defensive efforts weren't quite at the level that you'd want. I see him as a high potential player but he's still a bit of a work in progress. Definitely talented as an athlete though and a nice user of the ball.

I have no doubt I will read this later in the week.

Out: Ridley

In: Brown.

 

[BrunoV]

So from a sample size of 1 game, he's a top 10 member of our team?
Got it.

He has been in the top 10 performers of the 3 of 4 games we have played so far. What is so hard to understand?

Don't know what was going on but the 1v1 defending at both ends was quite horrible last night. Francis was at sea.

I put it down the circle work. Very hard to work out where to go when there is virtually no stifling of ball movement and what felt like acres of space in both forward 50s.

Thought that Ridley was solid again, not in our best 10 but not far off.

I understood you perfectly, I just disagree with it.
Because you didn't say he has been in the top 10 performers this year, you said based on recent performances he's a top 10 player on our list, which is rubbish. Language is everything, but of course you knew that when you said it, as it helps with your ranting and fist waving.

I thought the 3 games he played at the start of the year was pretty recent.

If you want to have an argument with yourself, go for it.


Edit: and dont get me wrong the wording of my first post was clunky and stupid.

 

[Zephyr Effekt]

Makes risky kicks look simple.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

That one handed pick up...classy

 

[yaco55]

Lock him in for the next ten years.

 

[JayJ20]

Cool, calm and collected.

Keep him in

 

[fairbump_playon]

Must play every game. His kicking is beyond elite. It’s the best.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Let's just superglue his magnet onto the team sheet

 

[Vindicater]

He is my boy and I know he will be a gun but I still get the feeling he will be dropped by Woosha.

 

[citizen-erased]

Do love this kid.
Like a nice mix of Wellman & Caracella.
Cool, composed, excellent disposal and decision making.

 

[eth-dog]

Can't wait for the time we can see all of him, Gleeson, Francis and Redman intercepting in the back half.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

That one handed pick up...classy

Saw that too and loved it. Not bad for a 192cm guy!

Top call, always something I notice watching him - composure really good for a young guy who's only played a handful of games.
