He's been talked up in previous pre-seasons but I want to see his form stay strong after LeBois of Summer has gone....

On that note, can we say RIP to Mean Gene Okerlund.Everyone wants to be the Heel commentator. It's where the fun is.

I know, i played the heel for 5 years on the ASADA Board with the EFC fish.
An integral part of my experience of the 80s.

What I get out of that, is poor defence by some and very poor chasing by PD. Hate to say it but we need to learn to never give up the chase. A problem that has been around for a while ..... close enough is good enough.

Funny thing is.if you had a kick from 40 to win the game I'd take lebois over fas.
Still odd they kept lebois on the rookie list over hickmott or a palmer type who well ehh kick goals.

Fas is a good set shot and has performed under pressure. Lebois hasn’t and isn’t an especially good set shot or long kick like fas. From 40 it’d be fasolo every single day of the week. It’s not even close
So you can’t compare players that are better or worse?
If you want to compare them where they are now then Fasolo is easily ahead. People that criticise LeBois's ability obviously haven't seen much of him especially live. The kid has some amazing ability. The key point was could he transfer it to senior football. The club know his ability that's why they gave him another year.
It really is the mental side with him. Needs to believe he is good enough. Been close to Senior selection a couple of times only to get injured.
He has very good hands, great mark for a small, a lovely kick and quick on his feet. Knows where the goals are and has that X Factor quality.
No doubt he is on his final chance and has had a rough 2 years personally and injury wise. Like a few others he is also a late maturer. He now needs to get fit and stay fit. If he can get focussed and stay fit he is a chance and would really add something to our side.
Anyone who doubts his ability to chase and pressure inside 50 look at this

I've watched LeBois numerous times in the VFL and he has yet to make a significant positive impression on me. Lacks presence, physicality, ball-winning, positioning, etc. Whereas Fasolo jumped straight into the AFL and was a goal per game minimum player averaging 11 disposals in his first year, albeit in a muuuuuuch better team.
His first moment is still his greatest moment. It would be handy for the club if he can work his way into the 22 at some stage, as what he provides is clearly an area of need. He is back with Kingston Town though.
So it’s okay to compare them now?

Though he's done nothing since. Did he even get another kick that game? I can seem to remember. I remember he only played a quarter or half.

Blues have shown a lot of faith in him when he signed a new contract in October with the unfortunate injury to Pickett there is a big window open for him turning 21 this year so hope he stays fit and shows us what he can do.

Not the point. Anyway..............................
Actually, I think it IS the point Soapy.
You can't always rate players on what they CAN do. At some stage, you need to rate players on what they ACTUALLY do.
Yes LeBois has x-factor, skills, pressure and speed. And he's still young. But if he can't turn all that into more than say 6 touches, a couple of tackles and a goal a game then he won't make it.
If talent without fitness, consistency and production was enough.... Troy Menzel would still be playing in the AFL...
Wasn’t the point I was making. I agree he needs to do a lot more
