Mates debuting against each other.

They both play that small forward position also so makes for an interesting subplot.

Looks like a keeper. Love his passion!

 

[AFDogs]

That's gotta be one of the best first goals ever right?

Good debut. Looks like we've drafted another gun.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

This kid looks outstanding. Great pick up. Hope you rest him against the cats

 

[Dogs Rule]

We’ve done it again....

Had some serious doubts he would have much of an impact.
Tough spot to play at the best of times , but he was good.
Was hoping he would go back and back himself with that first kick , but to actually nail it was outrageous !
He will no doubt have his ups and downs for a while, but boy he is going to be a lot of fun to watch .

 

[maddog37]

2 goals a game is fine by me.

That set shot wasn’t particularly difficult either, could have easily had three.

Nature of his role means he’s going to have quiet games. But he showed a bit.

and to boot he’s going to be a fan favourite. Like a more skilled early years Dahlhaus before Dahlhaus’ drop off

 

[willydave]

Great goals - but doesn’t look quick. trailed his opponent on most occasions and couldn’t provide pressure i50.
Might have to change the expectations that he’s more of a small marking forward than the pressure forward.

I know the Dees were super keen on him and went for Pickett instead. Those comparisons will be continue to be made through their careers.

Dogs are my second team, so enjoyed the performance last night. Want to see some more consistency of performance through.

 

[ManOfClay]

I don’t think we were ever after him being a dedicated pressure forward. Most players have to bring that at minimum, wouldn’t pay a first rounder for a player whose game is built on that.

His first game willydave. First game. Don't you reckon he might have a little bit of improvement in the areas you say he is deficient in?

He has always been described as a small marking forward and was never described as a pressure forward. Not sure where you got the idea that he was a pressure forward.

 

[Mojorisin]

We also knew coming in he needed to improve on his tank. I think he will be better for the run and should improve each week once he picks up the pace of the game

Pace is unfortunately one thing that doesn’t improve too much.

At the start of the game he was flying around. His chases at the end of the game were terrible because he was cooked. He will be a star. I don’t think Tom Papley is known for his blistering pace.

Fair point, but you don’t want the pressure to be that poor that he’s a liability.

I’m very happy with dogs’ recent recruiting overall though. West, Smith and Vandermeer look outstanding.

Touché.

On this one: I don’t see it as much. He’s ok but hardly looking outstanding

 

[CaptainMurphy]

Who the hell has a second team?? Keep hearing it from opposition supporters in here

 

[Bulldogs85]

Cody weightman played a great first game and he will get better with the experience.
