[Shermanator]

ok we’ve found our new Spud Firrito just need to find a Dish Petrie and a Jarrad Waite.. or two..

My kingdom for a Jared Waite........

 

[Themanbun]

He doesn't strike me as the type.

He's come back from two ACL reconstructions as a junior and willed himself to AFL football. And he's still ****ing quick. He knows hardship and won't take anything for granted. He'd be allergic to his own bathwater.

I thought this particular conversation was going a whole different Gibson + bathroom direction....

 

[shintemaster]

Solid game. The biggest positive for me is that he just looked "comfortable" with the game for the first time I've seen.

Someone to guide Perez through his second reco.

Apparently Aiden helped a few schoolmates out through theirs.

 

[Rad Roo]

With his size, can become a josh gibson type player....if the rest of the team steps up. Must keep.

[roos_fanatic08]

Only just turned 22. Plenty of upside.

 

[Roosurgence]

Looks to have found a yard of pace over the offseason, that or he just reads the ball well as a backman?

His closing speed has been what is most impressive and maybe he has found his spot and can start to flourish?

 

[Usayed Givashe]

His pace after 2 knee reco’s is pretty outrageous. Also best not to underestimate the benefit of him being alongside his old mate LDU.

Needs a bit more fire yet.

 

[Kanga Glory]

He won’t be a spud by name or player. That was his best game, he didn’t look lost or hesitate

 

[Val Keating]

Exceeded my expectations of him as a defender. Very good. Provides a bit coming out of defence as well.

 

[Hojuman]

Needs a bit more fire yet.

Along with Scooter and Dish the one bloke l would have liked to see holding a premiership cup in the last 20 years.

 

[Krakoueraddict]

Is going to miss through injury.

 

[Horizons_00]

Is going to miss through injury.

******* sucks

 

[Krakoueraddict]

******* sucks

Yeah a bit of continuity and confidence in his body would have done him wonders. He looked like a defender last week.

 

[Snake_Baker]

The bloke can't take a trick.

 

[Billy Not Really]

Seems like every time Bonar begins to gain some consistently good form, he's injured.

Can't even string a whole season together. Then again half of the bloody list can't either.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Hopefully just the week off. Needs continuity.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Seems like every time Bonar begins to gain some consistently good form, he's injured.

......."every time"........?

 

[Bennymate]

So unfair

 

[Devington]

......."every time"........?

Last two times at any rate. After arguably being gifted games last year he hit some good form and then went down mid game.
Two games into this season, after being in our top 3 players in the last games, he's out with another injury.
