I like him

That intercept goal was superb. Timed perfectly all in one motion.

Exciting to know he will only get better from here.

reads the ball off the pack so well

 

[eth-dog]

Nominated for GOTY apparently

 

[Old Campaigner]

It wasn't a particularly outstanding goal tbh, it's probably just a sop from the AFL for ******* us over with the umpiring

 

[westking]

Keep playing this kid. Pretty good getting the ball off the ground, but just as important, a pretty handy mark overhead too !

 

[RearNaked]

****ed my multi delist

 

[eth-dog]

Play him this game, rest for Geelong then play him the last two

 

[TheGrizz]

I hope we keep playing him.

 

[naraku]

I really like Irving. We surely have to keep playing him, even if he takes some long spells on the bench, it's beneficial for him to be right there I think.

 

[WindyHillWarrior]

His overhead marking (and general hand skills) have surprised me.

Just looks like a natural footballer.

 

[Zach Package]

Christ I love everything about him. Going off his Instagram he and AMT either have the world’s cutest bromance happening or it’s just complete hero worship and he’s following Walla around like a puppy dog

Essendon produced one of its biggest comeback victories in the club’s history — and the senior coach didn’t have to say a word to inspire the troops.

Yep it’s stuff like this that puts so much more value on him than stats would ever suggest. And jeez it’s awesome just to see him play.

 

[eth-dog]

Just one of those guys who you love around the club.

 

[TheGrizz]

Must play every game left this season.
His energy and enthusiasm alone is a massive plaus for the group.

Bigger than Tippa and Hartley?

That was something straight outta home and away early days

we've seen him a few times at VFL level and you must admit how surpising it's been to see how comfortable he looks?

Not suggesting he is a willing contributor but he looks like he already belongs. Has that swagger about him

Like he might be one of those guys that naturally does better at a better standard for whatever reason, because honestly last year I thought he was the furthest away of the three draftees.

Some players just go up a level, whether they’re ready or not. That’s why don’t mind the sink or swim approach sometimes, for players with raw talent.

Hawks gonna be hoping Kosi Mk2 is good.
Moz looks the goods at AFL level

Nah.

THey got Pops and Michington to fill those small forward spots.

 

[Vander18]

There is definitely something to work with here.

Doesn’t do heaps but what he does is clean. Can read the drop and hit it at pace. He’s not lightening but he’s quick enough. Can mark over head and seems like he can finish.

Needs to get fitter, that’s easy enough if he’s prepared to do the work. Has a decent frame that will fill-out, he can carry some extra size without losing speed.

He seems much more equipped to play small forward than Cahill.

 

[Schnitzengruben]

He applies great pressure and is seriously intimidating when he's closing in on someone. He can hit too. When he puts on a few more kegs and gets a bit fitter, he'll be a real weapon.

f’ed my multi delist

if you had a second gamer in your multi as a goal kicker it's you who should be delisted
