Who is this Harrison Arnold (Harnold) bloke, he looks like a bit of a Handrews-esque player

Former suns academy. Joined our VFL squad in 2021 IIRC

Fletcher was impressive in heavy traffic just then

I'll admit I wasn't as hyped on him as most last year and I thought the pick 12 bid was a lot higher than he should have been bid on but I am starting to see why he was so highly rated. Runs hard, can find the footy, competes well, nice skills, smart player. I think we have landed a great one there. Very lucky to land Ashcroft and Fletcher with priority access.

Sitting next to Ginnevan's uncle here, who's on the phone to someone giving them a brutally honest appraisal of his nephew's performance do far

Did he say something along the lines of "I have no nephew"

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

No, but he did say something that rhymes with "shucking fit"

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

It's insane how good in front of the sticks Fort is

 

[MSB ROYS]

Fort kicks another goal. Not sure why he passed earlier.

He is.

Maybe we should use it more often

Ah Chee is moving much better today, which is awesome.

 

[Gadzorks]

This team have got it all going on.

Effort, never give up, run in waves , contested marking, pressure pressure pressure, capitalising on opposition errors.

And winning by 38.

So if we get 38 points ahead tonight will be great watching just like this.

Maybe what we all fear/hate is close games.

Might be a bit of a reality check for Ginnavin to have to play reserves after such a meteoric rise.

I like Jaspa playing in the middle, clean and classy. Has a bit of McCluggage about him.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Gutsy fly by Ah Chee. Would be good to have him available next week

 

[Elixuh]

Ah Chee and Lester look good.

The surprising thing for me is how good he looks despite not appearing to have inherited much physically from his Dad

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Kai very casual there

The Collingwood ruckman was destroyed last week as well. Wouldn't read much into the ruck performance. Very green ruckman in for Collingwood.

 

[Nunez]

Great seeing Ah Chee move well again. Won't be long before he's back in the best 22.

 

[lionshine]

Ah Chee building back into form and fitness. Not far from a seniors recall I think. Important role player for us.

 

[Mr Ripper]

Fluffed a few lines, but the intent has been terrific. Could have been 10 goals up. As others have opined: Ah Chee much sharper today.

Not the most physical but it appears as though body pressure doesn’t affect him. Super clean and one touch even when he’s been closed down on.

 

[martinson]

The good thing is that we have 4 or 5 guys currently capable of Senior footy , Ah Chee ,Lyons, Answerth ,Fort ,Lester ,maybe Matho and a few others who could get there with more time and experience ,Lohmann ,Tunstill, Fletcher, Arnold ,etc. So if we get a few injuries this year we can at least bring in guys who won't disgrace themselves.

 

[McIvor]

Excellent crumbing goal by Fort - he can do it all Big Darce

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

I love how much of a general Matheson has become in the VFL
