Contract Status: Free Agent 2028
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 24, ghostdog

He's had his chance. List clogger.

 

[Doss]

Sarcasm sincerely hoped for.

 

[Beerfish]

Agreed. Get the kids in.

 

[eth-dog]

I don't think all of the criticism being leveled at the "play the kids" comments is justified.

If Polkinghorne is going to do 2/10 of jack shit I'd just as soon have Redman, Long and Eades do it because they are the future and the exposure will help their development.

It may hinder their development though.

 

[BrunoV]

It may hinder their development though.

How does it hinder?

That's three names for 1 position rotate them through the position.

They play the role in the VFL. We're not looking at them to play midfield in the AFL. It would just be the translation of their VFL performances into the AFL. Small forward is one of the position that it consistently works.

 

[Rack Watts]

Bet he has a big game against North.

 

[Stopher]

Bet he has a big game against North.

I'd be happy with that for a start!

 

[Rack Watts]

I'd be happy with that for a start!

Nah, he'll get the cockie out and fly it right up the roos.

 

[ezard15]

Sarcasm sincerely hoped for.

Confirmed

 

[Bomberbuzz1]

Francis kicks a bomb from the kick in, lace out to Goddard, turns, shrugs has a bounce kicks long, Redman running toward goal, lets it bounce, gets a good bounce, colors are magnetising .... Composes.... GOAL. THE MATCHSTICKS HAVE DONE IT!!!!

 

[Harlequin]

Well done Mason on that goal

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Three scoring shots in his second game, could have had another if Crowley wasn't such a cheeky ****er. Lot to work with, keep him in. He's really had an impact in both games when we've kept a forward structure.

 

[Beerfish]

Took two marks running with the flight of the ball looking back over his shoulders. That's not easy to do.

 

[eth-dog]

Was much better. He's had a taste, now should go back and work on his deficiencies.

 

[Zach Package]

We haven't had a genuine opportunist forward in a while and he looks to be that. Only had 7 touches but 4 of them lead to scoring shots for him or others.

will be such a hard match-up for the opposition once he gains a bit of size

 

[Ambrosia]

I'd keep playing him. He stands out like Fantasia and Langford as a player who understands forward craft.

 

[Doss]

That miss near the end was a shocker.

But I'd keep playing him- as Ambrosia said he seems to understand what he's doing, and he's got that intangible- something.

 

[Vander18]

Second one had a high degree of difficulty - was coming at a very difficult angle

 

[Jesse Custer]

Still raw. But has shown some good skills. Echo everyone else, keep playing him.

 

[Vander18]

I would - can hit the scoreboard and has speed. Will adjust and find more footy with games.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Keep playing him.

 

[MightyDons4]

Wonder who he'll end up like, James Sicily type perhaps?

Chappy.

Big big bigtime nerves I think having that shot.
