[Gasometer]

My geography of Australia starts and ends with towns with racecourses, chariot tracks or dog tracks.

No meh horses in Katamatite?

There is a Trotts and Dish Licker race track just down the road.

No Gee Gee Track.

Kid is going to be a gun

 

[Gasometer]

Yep. Google Image search that mofo and you get a bit of bonus Shazza Stone thrown in.

The awkward looking Baldwin also...

Stephen is my favourite.

His work in Usual Suspects is underrated.

Let's keep a lid on it at page 10.

Let's judge him by page 100.

The media up here has been nuts let alone the big smoke.

Will the natives storm Arden St with pitchforks and banjos if he doesn't make the Rd 1 team?

What are the newspapers up that way Gaso that are running articles on Jy? Do you have any links? Love a good community focused story.

I'm pretty sure Sliver or Basic Instinct was the first soft pr0n I'd ever seen as a 10 year.

Was wonderful.

Both movies offered plenty for the young blokes. I was already 25 and hence took it all in my stride.

He and anyone else who shows a glimpse of talent during the preseason yet to be named cup/challenge will be sure to set sombody off around these parts.

There were some examples a few pages back.

Front and back Shepparton News last Friday and Saturday.

That is a BIG deal for up here.

So it should be, the kid is a star.

My favorite highlight of his is the left foot pass to the forward when running on the 45 in the opposite direction. It was absolute class, and something we haven't seen since Shagger was running around.

 

[Gasometer]

Not claiming to be a body language or facial expression expert but I remember watching this live and thinking to myself.....'this kid doesn't look too thrilled'.

Jy looks like he'll be a quality player....so hopefully its 200+ games with us.

Yeh nar.

This is someone embarrassed to be on the tv and big screen for the first time in his life.

Has wanted AFL since Grade 5.

[astrovic]

About 15 seconds of video apparently, dont know what was on it for the need to be taken out.

From memory it was just Simpkins saying "screw McLachlan" over and over.

 

[TheBuzz]

That'll work well, given we also drafted Josh Williams.
