[Lore]

Contract Status: Out of contract 2023
My Boy Draft 2023: Pick 8, 84859300

 

[Beerfish]

Yeah but as I said his arms were pinned. What's he meant to have done?

Be big enough to not be thrown out of the way?

 

[Oraz]

Seems to have put on a lot of muslce

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Yeah but as I said his arms were pinned. What's he meant to have done?

Weigh more than 25kgs

 

[yodellinhank]

Use his head. Rohan did well to pin Gleeson's arms and take the mark, what is he some kind of octopus?

 

[BrunoV]

Solid enough against the Saints.

Not really tested a hell of a lot but that was the game. Should get a look until Stewart returns.

As others have noted he looks a lot stronger.

 

[11kgm]

Looking bog average against Reid

 

[Vander18]

Looking bog average against Reid

So bog average that Reid isn’t looking bog average.

 

[Zach Package]

Except he’s playing on Logan McDonald?

 

[Ambrosia]

Except he’s playing on Logan McDonald?

He’s been shifted off Reid from what I’ve seen

 

[11kgm]

in comes Reid good bye delisted

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Not AFL standard. Has to be playing purely out of necessity.

 

[Ambrosia]

Think that’s his papers stamped sadly.

 

[Kyptastic]

He’ll stay in until one of Ambrose or Stewart are ready. Even if he’s not playing well, he’s freed up Ridley and Francis, he’s there for structure as much as anything.

 

[Goat Hird]

Not gonna make it

 

[Howard Moon]

Lost Franklin in traffic for that last goal like he was on a Sunday stroll, dunno what he was looking at

Got caught watching the player not the ball

Umm. No. The exact opposite.

 

[MiguelM]

Umm. No. The exact opposite.

he had a chance to go directly at the ball in front of Franklin, looked behind and that was all over. Anyway not close to AFL level.

Lost his man and failed to check his run

 

[staaation]

he tries but he's not athletic enough to lock someone down physically and doesn't quite have the smarts to outread/outposition, he also isn't a good enough user to play an attacking role.
wouldn't delist yet but might as well just play Reid for now.

Yep. That's how I saw it after he lost Franklin.

Even when Reid comes on I think we'd be rash to delist. Brand has a long way to go. We'll need BZT for depth.

 

[TheGrizz]

Once he lost body contact with Franklin he had to go for the ball and affect the contest.

By doubling back he put himself between the two options and became a non-factor.

Otherwise a solid night.

for sure, would be unfair to get rid of him this early considering how long so many plodders have been allowed to stay on the list.
some time in the gym and some good coaching could very well turn it around for him

Stewart and Ambrose coming back is enough depth for me
