Wouldn't get a game at any other club

 

[Morro]

He is playing small forward in a shit team surrounded by kids. Would be much better in a better team.

Perhaps, but for me, just another overrated prima donna.

Not sure you have nailed this mate. Literally the opposite of Mansell.

Prima donna footy-wise, not thug wise.

 

[Grrr]

Prima donna footy-wise, not thug wise.

1. : a principal female singer in an opera or concert organization. 2. : a vain or undisciplined person who finds it difficult to work under direction or as part of a team

Perhaps not the first definition, and quite the opposite of the second. He is a good team player and plays his part and is performing up to scratch with every other half forward/small forward we have had since 2017. The position/instructions we are asking him to play is not only a player killer, it is a hiding to nothing. Campbell is the outlier, but early days.

When he came to the club, who would ever have have thought he was a small forward. Little to no forward nous at all, looked okay at half back but he was raw, so didn't survive there. But he is 50 games on and has played in the one position for the past 3 seasons, and he has improved. Let's see if he is any good and play him up the ground.

Shites me everyone bagging him when none of us have any idea if he would be a better player in a position that suits his game better because the match committee refuse to budge. We have a gaping hole around the ball for a bit of hardness and speed, of which he has plenty.

Nah mate, still a swing and a miss.

 

[tiger_tough]

He's playing probably the hardest position in a dogshit team in a forward line full of children. He's fine.

Geez, I didn't know Morro was into that! Does his mum know should I tell her?

No he ain't, a small forward that doesn't kick goals

 

[UncleBob]

Mansell legacy game coming up this weekend.

I'll let you decide which way you want read that.

 

[Drunken Wookie]

doubt it, can't kick 50m+, not strong overhead, easy pushed aside, can do silly unnecessary stuff. 35metres out dead in front and he's no better than 50/50. depth player at best.

Enter Hotton who will show him and others how its done.

 

[Cdog71]

If the Tassie launch gets bumped by two years we’re gonna get jammed up with small fwds
I like his edge but we’ve got a fair bit of talent already now

 

[Woodstock]

He needs to get back to playing footy instead of trying to bait the opposition.

 

[db26]

VFl footballer him and Green once the kids come back no place in that side.

 

[Barnzy]

One of the most disappointing players this year. I thought he had a good year last year and perhaps could push 25-30 goals this year. He kicked 21 goals last year in a poor team.

He's regressed in a big way and now more likely we're looking for his replacement in the next year or so.
