Gosh I hope he makes it and he gets his chance to play consistent games soon.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Bring him in this week!

He's in.

 

[Liam Boy]

can't ******* wait to see how our side goes with a guy who can actually put the work into a small forward

 

[amaz199]

Go get em Shinboner!

 

[My Left Foote]

Feels like a ridiculous statement to make about a 3 game second year player but we’ve really missed him this year.

 

[hellas_johnny]

Someone who can tackle in our backline? I don't believe it

 

[amaz199]

I might actually be able to scream 'BALLLL' when this bloke gets near it.

Why we don't tackle to hurt is beyond me.

Because tackling to hurt gets you suspended these days man.

I mean, not to sling tackle but genuinely wrap our opponents. We seem to just get shaken off far too easily.

I write this watching live at half time. This guy has a long long way to go as an AFL player. He is down back and I assume to lock down a small forward. Has no influence in help running the ball out of defense, and when we kick out is not considered a target at any time in the 13 times we did due to the Hawks inaccuracies. Does not have real pace and needs to put on some muscle to avoid being thrown around by the bigger bodies. His pressure acts are barely registering on the Speedo and 2 turn overs is not good enough at this level. Our List Management has stop handing out freebies to past players sons on their Dads reputation.

Just ridiculous, giving people a game purely because of their surname, let's wake up and start being professionall!

Yep, we're as firm as wet lettuce!

May I just say how refreshing it is to have some defensively capable players in Goater and Arch back in the 22.

Atleast he looks like he gives a crap!

Has he primarily been on Bruest? Only had 1 goal until the 4th Q until he got a couple of gimmes?

i only saw a few glimpses of him on the weekend. at first i didnt like what i saw in his running gait. he looked to be favouring one leg to me. looked like a player who should not be out there. seconds later he went on a scintillating run through the middle of the ground. it was the best i have seen him move. also the most impressive offensive play ive seen from him.

dont think i saw him again after that.

not sure whats going on here.

i posted this a month ago.

i hope we know what we are doing with him. he moves well in the action, and i thought he played all right, but he walks and jogs with a significant limp.

Might have a rock in his boot..

 

[rooboytom_90]

I thought he showed good ability and will. Stood out like black balls on a white dog compared to some of the other pretenders.

 

[shimaburnsgrieg]

Very happy to keep JA in the one's - he looks to have some attributes - we just need to see what he can do - where the gaps are.

At this stage he would be my first choice as the lock down small defender for 2024 - we need to test him out over the next month or so.

 

[Psicosis]

It was nice to not have a small forward kick a bag of 4 this week

How bad is his hammy? Was it iced after the game?

No during he went off during the 3rd

 

[WesternRoo]

He shows enough as that one lockdown defender you need.

Goater gives us the dash, Bergman the class and Jackson the lockdown on the dangerous small.

A few pieces of the puzzle coming together back there.

Sorry forgot to add if it was iced
