Given what he's shown so far; In the face of advetsity the kid will be as tenacious as an old age pensioner with a coupon. He'll bounce back fine. Expect to still see him debut this year

Thanks Capt Oblivious!
Sounds like Bucks was suggesting he was in line for a Round 1 debut before he got the illness: big wraps on the boy!

I didn't get that sense. For an untried draftee you would have little idea about when they will debut until they can show something in the pre season games. It is more likely that they may have seen him likely to get some game time in the 1st preseason match.

Are you sure you are a doctor? It's just that you seem so knowledgeable about football, I can't believe your brain is big enough to also be such a footy expert?

Is that a starting point or is it the best you have?

Just a start but I dont expect any material change in quality.

EX-DOCKER Chris Mayne will play as a defensive forward: “He’s a very effective footballer, knows exactly what the game’s asking at different times.”
HOSKIN-ELLIOTT had shown dramatic improvement on the track in recent weeks: “He was paddling a little bit early but two weeks before Christmas he really jumped out of the ground. We’ve seen some really solid things from him on the track, he’ll be good for us.”
SCHARENBERG could be eased into his first injury-free season via the VFL: “He’s been consistently training and he’s in good nick and injury-free and that’s the main thing.”
CALLUM Brown was tracking towards a Round 1 debut before being struck down by glandular fever. His advice to the father-son draft pick: “choose the people you kiss very carefully.”

I wouldn't expect an increase in quality from either contributor. Hopefully young Browney has more potemtial

Not sure why you decided to bold the Mayne bit, that was pretty obvious from the outset. The bright side is that hopefully it means Blair is no longer required.

I'm just sick of the defensive forward role in general. Would rather he be used as a player who hits up the wings and marks.

You never know, he might do that too. At this point though I'm just feeling relieved that I might not have to endure another season of Blair corralling his opponents and pretending to be a CHF.

Or they both might play in same side and we go back to the days when we had Goldsack and Blair in the forward line.

Very doubtful. Blair will be up against it to play round 1, and he knows it. There's a good reason he took so long to sign his extension and a reason there was no announcement when he did. He's regarded as depth from here on.

I'll believe it when I see it.
That was my experience. I came down with it in early December, was really only back on my feet at the end of Jan and failed half my uni subjects in the first half of that year (only subjects I failed at uni) because I was still a shell of myself.
That said, no longer lasting effects beyond that period. He'll be fine, it's not an uncommon disease.
Hope whoever he was pashing was worth it

This little fabrication stems from a good case of imaginitis suffer by Al Paton the HUN reporter who wrote the article
Below is the sum total of Bucks comment on Cal Brown in the interview.
" Yes he's been going very well but has been struck down by glandular, you've gotta choose the people you kiss very carefully I would have thought"
There was no mention of any debut, be it round 1 or pre season. Just a made up lie by the HUN
In the next breath Bucks said Daicos was going very well also but when Lyon pressed him whether Daicos would be considered for a pre season game Bucks said "yes but again we are going a bit too soon".
Daicos and Brown if they did well in the preseason were always a chance to get some pre season time but probably more likely to watch and learn from the sidelines. They have so many steps to take before Bucks would ever publicly suggest they could be ready for an AFL debut.
Moral of this story is if the HUN says something that doesn't make sense to you back yourself. You will almost certainly be right.

Goes back to my earlier argument.. perhaps its not such a great idea to push young kids too much when their bodies are developing.. i don't mind if they play in their 2nd or 3rd yrs.. definetely go a long way in having em play well into their 30s if we don't push the buggers too hard too early.
Good, hopefully Mayne can shut down guys like Heath Shaw who is probably the best in the AFL for racking up possessions in defence.From the Herald Sun...........

Glandular fever outcomes vary a lot.
Some get the 12 month chronic fatigue variety- very few luckily
Stacks have glandular fever and do not even know it.
The majority ( that know that they have it ) it's usually a two to six week illness.
