Encouraging that he was the first one in to fly the flag for Dustin Martin in the fracas behind the goals (in the third quarter?). He looked fairly tanked in the last quarter but it was 3 on 6 up forward at one stage. Never gave up. Would love to see him on the main list.

Chant wait.Just imagine in a couple of years when he outsizes Majak
Am I the only one who sees Chol as a very high HF or even Winger? He has so much ability in the 1v1's but struggles to jump at the ball/ get to position at the contests deeper forward. It almost seems like he hangs back and allow jack to jump and even Lennon too (last night). I think he worries about 'stealing' another players contested mark. He, imo will find his spot quite high up the ground.
As to starting Round 1... little chance. Griffith will take that spot if we decide to go with the tall options. Chol has a long way to go in regards to positioning, when to contest and when to stay down. Certainly exciting and proving to be more popular than Mcbean who has spent a few years in the system.

Definately a Chol fan. But in the replay he had a number of chances to impact constests on the far side when one on ones were happening, but chose just to jog around instead of making a desperate attempt to go and help out another player in a contest. He could have got a lot more of the ball if he had chosen to rush in. He seemed a little should I or shouldn't I last night. But just stuff to work on.

He's clearly just playing it down in the pre season. He knows what's up.
Showed plenty, should become a very handy player a few years down the track.
Has spectated a bit , I think worried about getting in jacks way , I agree that early on we re more likely to see him on wing or hff help get him more involved in play and use his strengths , needs to build some confidence and bag of tricks at vfl , will be exciting to see that

Watching him play on the weekend against the dogs. Wow wee I'm excited there some real natural talent. So athletic and a very nice kick. Really encourage everyone to get down to punt road when the 2s are playing and watch him go

Awesome 4 goals in a losing side. Hope he played the game out.
That's what we need, players that never say die. Congratulations Mabior.
Can't wait for your senior debut!

Was good in the air and at ground level with second efforts today was clearly the best big man on the ground
Needs a few games like this and then give him a go I reckon

I know its early days but gotta love that a speculative rookie pick looks to have the most potential and upside of our kids coming through. Not sure what they says of our recruiting but glad he's ended up in the yellow and black.

As a rookie upgrade 1/2 way through the year?

needs to pick up his defensive side. Play him at HB for the rest of the year ..

Tipping its gunna almost certainly happen due to the brains trust wanting to keep the punters at bay
