Watch us win now.

[eth-dog]

Go the elf!

 

[Mad Bomber Sean]

Happy with this selection.

With no expectations I shall gain a little bit of joy from watching how the young-ens have a crack...

 

[bombreys]

Absolutely love this kid.

Anyone know what position he played in his pre-AFL days?

Inside mid as a 19 year old, spent time at half back and half forward playing senior football for Claremont.

Thanks! Did you watch any of him pre-Essendon? Where do you think his best spot is for us?

I watched a bit of him playing for WA in the 18 championships in 2016, for me he looked alright but more as a late pick. Had questions on his ball winning ability and overall seemed a bit vanilla. Has added a few strings to his bow since then, id be grooming him as an inside mid who can swap back.

 

[Mad Bomber Sean]

I reckon he could get under the guard of the Cats and do some damage today!

I am excited about his possibilities today.

Does Guelfi mean - the better hair cut. Lol?

 

[Mad Bomber Sean]

Good game by Guelfi...

 

[Jacques_]

Does all the little things right, big fan

 

[eDPS]

Couldn’t fault his game, played his role perfectly

 

[Rack Watts]

Kept Ablett very honest.

Ablett played?

 

[eth-dog]

Solid game.

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

Solid last quarter and looks like a nice find

 

[Pweter]

Is he Gary O'Donnell-esque??

 

[Kakkle]

Very easy to fall in love with a player who plays with as much tenacity as he does, but his disposal/decision making tonight was not AFL standard.

 

[Zach Package]

Is he Gary O'Donnell-esque??

He actually reminds me of a younger Callan Ward a little bit

 

[kelvin_sheedy]

Just does the right thing when in a contest and when its his turn he goes straight for the ball. Just needs to play every week to see if we can tidy up some of the disposal and get him to become a really good AFL footballer.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Pick 79

Dodo.....

 

[fairbump_playon]

More issues with decision making than disposal I reckon. He can improve that.

Dodo’s back... alright!

 

[Old Stuckup]

A more outside and skilful Howlett.
