Some good signs today. Went forward & kicked a goal & his defensive work was impressive. He needs to be persevered with to allow Waite to play forward & Thornton as the loose man in defence. If we can keep Waite forward most of the time, it will make our forward line much less predictable.
 
Agree with the Waite comments...Looks so dangerous up forward and is really hard for teams to find a match up for...

Needs to be played forward with Fev either injured or at a all time low!
Austin also looks like a forward option, mobile but with plenty of size.
 
I liked his efforts last week and again he did some good things, can kick a goal, take a grab and his closing speed to spoil is very good. Should play for most of the season form permitting.

Bit of a breakthrough game for Austin. A brilliant athlete, with nice skills who can play forward or back. He did well enough in defence to allow us to push Waite forward today. :)
 
He seems quicker than I thought he was, which is no bad thing.

Hope he stays in, I like the look of him and he brings us more versatility in regards to what we can do with Waite. Great goal today too :thumbsu:
 
As others have said, like his size, how versatile he is and hope he gets some serious game time over the coming 6-8 weeks.....:thumbsu:
 
Really impressive.

He's quick, has skill, can take a grab and his defensive work for a youngster is very good.

Has a lot to learn still but he should stay in the seniors to play a fair few games this season as he'll develop into a good swing-man who can play as a tall defender but can also go forward, take a grab and kick a goal.

He'll also enable us to free up Waite who can go forward and be extremely damaging as we've seen.

We had a lot of positives come out of this game but for me, Aussie was right at the top of the list.
 
I've been wanting his selection for bloody ages! Finally! He's a good player, he's exactly what we need. All I can say is ABOUT TIME! Good game today Aussie :)
 
Love the looks of him. Probably him and Hartlett are in competition for each's spot but Aussie definitley looks to have the goods. And if he can snip up forward take a mark and kick a goal or two then he could be very very handy player for us.

The boy can play!
Good spoiler, good hands and has neat foot skills, good lateral movement as well.

He still has loads of improvement in him and needs a few pre-seasons in the gym to build up the upper body, but when he does, look out!

Go the BLUES! Where's that premiership!

Keep him in the team. He's very important to us structurally - gives us the liberty of playing Waite wherever we want to. Playing decent footy too and shows a lot of promise. :thumbsu:

What you said. Jamison is the key to the backline and we need someone like Aussie who can play tall when he is injured. Thornton is much more valuable floating off a 3rd/ 4th tall than holding down a key forward, Bower is a runner and Setanta, much as I love him, makes my poopyhole pucker up every time he has it in the defensive 50 (not in a good way either).

Waite forward means we can stop deluding ourselves about Cloke.

Only had 8 disposals, but spoiled well and teamed well with teammates. Played on Leigh Brown, kept him to an ordinary game. Well done Aussie. Must be perserverved with IMO

You could give Brown a footy and put him on an oval all by himself and he'd still have an average game. :o
 
Didn't Bryce get a belt out of Ozzie's goal? Very happy with his efforts today. Put some Pie clown on his arse and looked basically at home out there. Some real plusses for us this game. :thumbsu:
