only have to look back to last night for that answer

Who?

 

[Ekomaira]

Who?

Eric Hipwood, kicked 6 to get Brissy over the line

 

[Joffaboy]

Jesus Christ people potting King because a March champion has had a good game of two. [emoji849]

Let King have a go FFS before bagging the kid.

And I reckon O'Brien will be better than Rozee in the long term anyway.

Goog spot Ekomaria. Hipwood looks the closest thing to Ming in the game right now, and he's traveling nicely. Comparisons to Vickery and the like are out of place imo..

Ok thanks. Hope it’s not an outlier. Still think the game seems more suited to smaller types. As long as king is good defensively and on the ground and can move around there should be no issue. If he a stand and deliver forward he will struggle

yeah I reckon Ming will look similar to Hipwood. even Joe Daniher, he's played some really nice footy. all lefties as well

brain snap, thought Ming was a lefty for some reason

Well at the moment we have no idea what he plays like in afl footy. One thing that I do know is the 6 6 6 rule isn’t helping talls even though yesterday there were some good results

 

[ScrappyDo]

Interesting crop of young agile talls we're developing at the moment. Take Ming, Roma, Joyce, Battle to some extent, Alabakis fits the same mould. If they all come on we could have some serious weapons in a couple years.
Forgot Clav too, and Marsh!

 

[Longmembrey]

Hey dude, sorry, I wasn't meaning to be an arseh*le, I want to believe but was hoping you had some evidence for it. I wasn't trying to show you up. I hope you can rub it in my face too.

I'm with you Gringo because I genuinely want to believe but the highlights to be found on YouTube are very brief. They mainly consist of that one game where he kicked 8 (And shanked a few) against a very undersized opponent. I think you were just saying (hoping) that someone who had seen him play a lot live could vouch that he was worthy of pick #1 prior to injury.

I guess we can assume that our recruiters have done all that- but then again, can we...

The thing is that as long as taking marks, punching spoils and tapping hitouts are part of the game, then there will be a place for tall players. Mings attributes suit the current evolution of the game so all he really needs is to become better than the bloke next to him on game day. The rest is down to how we use him.

 

[Sir Skid]

Jeebus. Kingy was right!

We should have taken Gresh at 5 cos we nearly missed him.

I’m not sure anyone knows if he suits the current game. He has hardly played footy in the tac cup let alone afl. I’m sure when we got paddy we thought he would suit the current game.

Good article!

 

[SaintsSeptember]

paddy was never a once in a generation tall forward. i haven't heard anyone describe him like that. people more identified him as a throw back to something from 20 years ago. the paddy selection will go down as the worst pick 1 selection in the history of the modern era.

but king, for once the moons aligned. for once we had luck go our way. we somehow managed to get a guy who would have been a pick 1 lock, just because he did his ACL. yes we've taken the punt, but thank christ we still have the balls to take a punt on him. he was always going to be a work in progress/rehab for the first season. it's no different to say the lever, burton, stringer selections. the reason you select the bloke isn't so he has a ripping first season ala dunstan. it's so he is consistently good through out his career.

I heard Boyd described as that so stfu and let stuff happen without cursing it.

200 CM + players who are strong overhead, mobile and are good below their knees will be the new black. Winx ticks all the boxes. Will be a gun given a reasonable run with injury.

At school footy he does. We have to wait and see in afl footy. Also don’t like the idea of 3 marking forwards especially if one is learning the game.

It's amazing really. 2 games ago we didn't have any stars, or anything to get excited about for that matter (right Purple?)

2 weeks later....

Indeed. We will see. I'm willing to call it. To quote the song, "I like the way you move! "

No tackles and only 1 pressure act though!!!! Needs to be dropped!

 

[CaptainRisky]

FMD. Should have taken Rozee!

He was my first choice i was near begging for us to take him . In saying that i have faith in Max unlike that other big forward we drafted

I don't recall you saying anything about him. It's too late to jump on that bandwagon Risky!!

Do some homework,,, Ah i guess you were taking the pi55

I saw you blabber on constantly about Rozee but as I recall it you were simply describing your arse cheeks.

And I certainly wasn't swayed by all that begging!
