Player Watch #30: Charlie Comben

[LB2Snake]

Harrison Jones has shown a bit, but there is a lot of the usual *filth special sauce hype slathered on. Let’s wait for Charlie to get on the park before we proclaim who is better in hindsight.

I don’t think anyone said he Jones was better. I was interested why we didn’t rate him. Looks to tick all the boxes to me

His name is Harrison. Need any more clues?

From memory, he was a pretty underwhelming junior. Good athlete, but struggled to find the footy and kick goals at U18s level.

Harry jones has a fantastic contested mark and can take a decent leap.
Basically Ess replacement for Joey D and it seems to be working well for them so far.
Hope Comben can be a similar player for us but we wont know until he gets his body right.
So many crucial body injuries at a young age has me worried; especially when he starts taking hits and bumps from rough defenders.

Hope he can do a Taz and get over lots of set backs to be a fine player. I think he'll be given lots of time as seems to have the talent

“Joey D”…….but too friendly for a toe rag from Tullamarine.

We have a guy named Ford.

If he does a Taz, we’ll need to wait another 3 years! I’d prefer it to happen sooner, thank you.

He’ll be a beauty! Cant wait to see what he can do in the scoobs next week

Not wrong. He was running laps a few weeks back & you could just tell.

Joe Daniher is a great player to bring up now, because the hype train around Jones is almost exactly the same as the one Daniher got 7-8 years ago. This is just what happens to Essendon players. Ok is great, good is all australian, and great is greatest of all time. Now that Joe Daniher is at a different club and he doesn't have the sparkle of youth on him anymore, he's rightly seen as a pretty good player who can play his role well, and that's about it. Our players will always be lower rated for the same output, maybe it's because the AFL media is afraid of what will happen if Essendon supporters give up and tune out en masse, I'm not sure. But I hope it continues! They end up paying average players huge money and they continue to not get anywhere as a football club. Just look at how much hype they're getting right now, regularly called "the most watchable/exciting team in the comp" by supposedly neutral commentators, yet they can't even crack the 8 in a year where it's anyone's for the taking.

A kings ransom for a live stream.

I doubt with the quick flights up there the bombers would even have the gear up there for it.

“The gear”……we’re on the Gold Coast, there won’t be any shortage of supply for them.

Maybe, as they have played some VFL scratch matches at Yeronga.

If it’s at Southport, I’ll have a gander, otherwise the Brisbane based posters will have to find it.
