How? I saw the Walla video at the same time as the Merrett video

When I looked at youtube, The Walla video and his comment on it were listed as 7 days ago, the Merret video was listed as 6 days ago

 

[JayJ20]

He's seen his video, commented with some other suggestions for highlights (Laverde, Langford, Parish, Merrett)

judging by the timestamps Walla posted that before 12Chill published the Merrett video

Completely misunderstood!

Sorry. I thought the "he's" part was a typo. Thought it was "I've"

 

[hurlygurdy]

Really excited to see what he can do next year. Easily one of the most exciting players in the competition

* me that is some highlight reel! I just wonder if we can afford to go without his ball use in the middle of the Ground? Small forward calls but he is sublime with the ball in hand off half back. Such a hard decision

 

[grugsticles]

Give that reel to a 17yo heading into the draft and you could bet they would be top 10.

 

[citizen-erased]

Our Midfield In 2017:
Elite: Heppell, Merrett, Watson
Starters: Zaharakis, Parish
Rotations: Myers, Colyer, Goddard, Stanton, Laverde, Langford
Depth: Hocking, Howlett, Bird

Add McGrath/McCluggage as well.
I also think we'll see Francis spend a bit of time in the middle too.

flies under the radar quite a bit
Has vision, disposal, pace, strength and tackling pressure.
Would have cleared Rising Star easily imo. Would love to get his engine up so we can play him permanently in the middle.
Has elite mid written all over him

 

[daffo]

Midfield for sure. He has so much talent around the ball. His evasive and decision making skills are top class.

 

[citizen-erased]

**** me that is some highlight reel! I just wonder if we can afford to go without his ball use in the middle of the Ground? Small forward calls but he is sublime with the ball in hand off half back. Such a hard decision

easy for mine.
He plays middle.
Id happily put a Stanton or even Hocking as a defensive small forward to make up a spot and allow Tippa to run through the middle.

Inside mids: Watson, Merrett, Heppell
Outside run: Parish, Tippa, Zaka
Rotating mid/fwds: Stanton/Hocking, Laverde, Langford
Colyer & McGrath/McCluggage

 

[Rack Watts]

Wouldn't mind him and Zaharakis on a midfield/HFF rotation.
We can't not use his delivery into the forward line, and sidestep in tight spaces.

 

[freddy mercury]

Thing I love about him the most he has the balls to actually take the game on and go through the middle. That's what we need him to do again next year. He and coyler could be a formidable wing combination.

Both pacey and good by foot who take the game on.

That's why I want McGrath, has that Andrew Lovett burst that we all loved watching so much, nothing gets the crowd up and about, more than a scintillating run down the wing.

What a waste of great talent he was.

 

[Rack Watts]

I do miss his penetration, just not the digital stuff.

Only played 88 games. Should of been 200 easily. What a let down.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Just walked past him at Costco Ringwood.

He is massive. Enormous. Has seriously put on size. Was buying a lot of Rexona which is good, means he's working hard.
Also bought beans. Which may explain more Rexona.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Looks strong through the hips.

Players will have a hard time bringing him down in a tackle. break out season for Langers next year i reckon.

 

[Skipper_]

IMO Langers and Lav are the key for us making finals. If they can display their massive potential then our forward-line could be very, very dangerous.

Not sure he should be spraying the rexona down there. Might sting a little

 

[Halorad]

Going early, but he is going to be our Fyfe if he can get the fitness base up to play in the midfield. His Overhead marking ability would well above average compared to other midfielders, so can see him being an extremely dangerous 1 vs 1 player.

hope he's hiding his arms from view... people might get the wrong idea

Taken in a similar position in the draft too.

Can't remember how impressive Fyfe was in his first couple of years.

Skinny as a rake in the first year.

Second year announced himself as a superstar, even though he was still skinny as a rake.

[Liberator]

He should definitely aim to swing through the midfield ... Why not!
