Have liked the look of this bloke since day 1, and been very impressed with his NEAFL form this year. A well-earned debut in a position that we're struggling in. Hope he grabs his opportunity and locks down a spot.

 

[sataris]

Been pushing for his selection for a while

Can't wait for Sunday!

And a Pearce Hanley in a pear tree....

What no love for Tommy Walsh?

 

[GotTheGoodes]

Wishing him all the very best. He mighg not be a Kerry boy but jeez I'm glad he's a Swan!!

 

[CheapCharlie]

Will we need subtitles for his post match interview?

Nah, he's alright I think.

 

[RW]

Solid debut, makes me wonder why he wasn't tried sooner.

Bloody Horse!

 

[Mick Oxlong]

Bloody Horse!

Did some really good things and certainly didn’t look out of place.

 

[SilentHunter_]

Found another one. He'll be at the club for a long time.

 

[grimlock]

Amazing, looked more like a 100 gamer than first gamer. Even had the head bandage, not convinced it was there for an actual injury but made him look like a true Blood through and through.

 

[momentbymoment]

Brilliant....
We now have an attacking running defender.

 

[Olian]

Looked good and composed with the ball. Wouldn’t have known it’s his debut.

 

[scaryness]

Keeps his spot for life imo

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Gun. No idea why it took so long to give him a go

 

[TheMase]

Gun. No idea why it took so long to give him a go

Maybe because he has only been playing the game two and a half years?

Got to learn how to play before you’re thrown into the big league...

 

[TheMase]

Very impressive debut.

*en lol. This board man.

 

[S120]

Can't remember a single mistake or misread defensively from him all day. Really solid debut with a lot to work with for the future. Very exciting.
