Contract Status: Out of contract 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 15, Zach Package

 

[eth-dog]

Jai Newcombe and Eddie Ford would be other players in the mix

Jake Bowey?

Jake Bowey?

Could get it but didn’t have much impact on the game. Newcombe will probably get it with the hawks win.

Probably miles Bergman. 2 goals, 20 touches, 7 marks and 6 score involvements in a win. He's also been the most consistent of all the aforementioned players. If Newcombe gets selected its just the afl trying to pump up the mid season draft.

Bergman already got the nod last week

Holy s**t I had no idea, thanks for that lol

How does a player like him slip through the cracks when he’s the type of footballer everyone is after?

Elite two way runner, can read it and grab it in the air, dual sided by hand and foot, not afraid to go when it’s his turn and most importantly, doesn’t just chase the footy around like an auskicker, is being given a defined role on a wing and sticking to it.

Richmond would be absolutely livid

like Maurice Rioli Jnr!?

 

[Halftimehero]

Rising Star this week?

Bit stiff I reckon, Bowey got it.

 

[Zach Package]

Could be a bit forgotten, he doesn’t even come up when you filter eligible players in footywire.

The only players averaging more touches that haven’t been nommed yet are Powell and Poulter.

thats probably coz footywire doesn't have a valid dob for him

I love it, he’s 1 years old. Exciting that we might get 32 good seasons out of him.

 

[blitzer]

He's been quite a find since coming into the team. I look forward to seeing his development over the next few years to see how good he can get.
Quite a good user of the ball and a good runner who really busts a gut. Whilst he's an outside player - he's not soft. Plenty to work with there.
I'm not sure yet if he's going to hold down a wing spot for the long term but he's a chance.

I definitely think he's ahead of Ham. His ball use if nothing else is a big plus there.

 

[ghostdog]

I like Duz a lot already. Composed and has boot polish.

Provides good pressure on the attacking player, but I feel like he needs to slow down a tad when he approaches the player, corral and then pick his timing to nail the tackle. At the moment he seems to rush to the player and commit his body and momentum too easily, causing him to slip from the tackle when the player simply moves aside a bit.

 

[quotemokc]

Love how he always takes the short effective kick instead of bombing away.

 

[The Donners]

Love how he goes about it!

 

[TheGrizz]

Plenty to like about the boy, but some tackle practice and a decent weights program is sorely needed.

Almost like he's never done an AFL pre-season

 

[Schnitzengruben]

One of the highlights of the season and he only came in recently. Should be a good player for us for a long time.

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Going to be a good player.

 

[eth-dog]

Plenty of good signs but needs more muscle.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Was pretty good today. We might have one. Along with Snelling we’ve done alright out of the MSD.

 

[JT_the_Man]

Definitely needs more muscle, probably the main thing I disliked about his game today. Luckily he’s big enough that I’d say that’s easily changed with a preseason in the gym.

Its not a knock on him? To play as many games as he has this year + a final is a credit to him.

But lets not pretend like he wasnt brushed aside a fair bit today. Observation, not a critique.

I took it as an observation, that's what the smiley face was for

Muscle or core strength ? maybe a dash of both
