Player Watch #39: Finnbar 'Moose' Maley

[North Viking]

Welcome and good luck to you Finn!

We nailed the draft.

All needs met;
Midfielder
General forward
General back
Key back
Ruck
And now a Key forward

Big tick from me.

A much better selection than a speculative pick 48.

At least it was good seeing grown men losing their proverbial s**t over not taking pick 48 last night.

 

[Hatchy1992]

Welcome to the greatest club in the land!

With his height of 197cm I can see him as an aggressive key forward with the ability to pinch hit in the ruck when X needs a rest.

Wouldn't be surprised to see him get a game later in the season. Looks ready made.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

Yep. I think it was Sphynx who recently posted about players having large hand spans being a massive advantage.

My ex said the same thing, or at least that's how the saying goes...

 

[Denny Crane]

Kanga lads,

Just dropping in as I know they kid from local footy for past few years.

Well worth the speculative pick. Raw talent, needs a year in the system, so dont expect anything until 2025 but he could be a great rookie get. I wish him and you lads well.

Come from great stock with his Dad and sister elite athletes. Ripping kid as well.

Will be interesting in changerooms....he is the sort of loud music type, before and after games....dunno if that equates well in AFL.

Cheers lads, best of luck.

Awesome... In a couple of years time when we are winning games, playing in prime time & BT decides to see what our change-rooms look like... Finn can drown him out with whatever style of metal that he prefers.

Roaming Brian... More like Deaf Brian.

 

[apollo_creed]

Hot sister who plays for the Opals as well.

 

[Bowski]

Finnbar Maley = The Furey

 

[king of the road]

Finnboner.

I have a little 5 month old called Finn.

This call will be getting a bit of use around our place next season.

 

[king of the road]

Awesome work Tommy.

Viz rocks.

I hear we’ve got our eyes on a young up n coming player next year. Goes by the name of Buster Gonad.

Not just big hands he’s endowed with.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Love the name Finnbar. I’m on his bus already!!!

Agree, hope he makes it.

But with every clanger we'll be calling him FUBAR

 

[Rod Stroker]

For starters he looks like he has a bit of aggression- we haven’t had that in our big men for a long time

you don't reckon Chom plays with aggression? He's nearly killed blokes in tackles.

Thanks mate

Sounds like Fordy might have some competition for changeroom banter.

 

[Rod Stroker]

His first point of action is to burn that disgusting jumper he's been playing in.

Does he have an unfeasibly large upside?

 

[lockheed]

Especially now we actually have a development program

When did that happen?

 

[DesertRoo]

Finn and Chom.

 

[lockheed]

I was hoping that we would rookie Sam van Rooyen,but we took Finnbar instead. Obviously Finnbar is less polished, is a few cm taller, is aggressive, a strong contested mark and has big hands.

Can one of our draft experts tell me how else do the two talls compare?

 

[the big lebowski]

Finn and Chom.

Dawson?

 

[Premieroos]

Awesome... In a couple of years time when we are winning games, playing in prime time & BT decides to see what our change-rooms look like... Finn can drown him out with whatever style of metal that he prefers.

Roaming Brian... More like Deaf Brian.

He can help out these boys, you've just exactly described the first two minutes haha.

They haven't had a chance to blast some beats for way too long, this is a real flashback to simpler times.

Chom’s biggest issue, apart from staying on the park, is goal kicking.

As some would know I was a massive Daw fan, mainly for his contested marking ability.
That is one part of the game that you cannot learn and become better at it. Should you be lucky enough to have the God given talent to time a run and leap and hang on. It doesn't matter what level you play at, as it's near impossible to counter.

Personally I'd play him before CCJ'S. To be better Finnbar would need to touch the ball 2.5 times a quarter, mark it once a quarter.

Super excited and I've my new project player, was looking for one

This kid and "Buster" Goad (with his unfeasibly large upside king of the road) both remind of Maj the way that they leap at the ball and drag down contested marks.

 

[DrZaius]

Great call. KIA34 cops a lot of flak around here at times but credit where credit’s due.

Yes he clearly has VFL connections.

 

[SonofSamsquanch]

Nu metal shorts!!!!

From what I'm told they are hiking pants they zip off at the knee.

 

[R00StaR]

Judging by more than just a few reactions to his pack marks he hurts campaigners
