cleanest hands ive seen from a first year player...and his class just shown through...he has a great footy brain and he knows how to extract the ball...btw i loved the bump he layed for jimmy, i was all smiles after that hehe.
luke ball clone my a$$ luke ball is a selwood clone lol...
i read he's not very quick but he seemed to know where to and how to find the ball, and his pace wasnt slow iether... i was upset we overlooked seller for him but now i honestly think we have the best midfielder in the supper draft hehe carlton must be kicking themselves for taking gibbs,
and im sure port will look back on it as a big big mistake.:) btw ottens looked awsome hehe
anyone know why todd grima didnt play? or djurkura? or varco?

He's played one NAB cup game? Get a hold of yourself guys and girls.
Their careers are marathons not sprints.
 
Prior to the draft there was a lot of talk about him being a little slow and would be another of our "one-paced" midfielders. Being at the game yesterday there was a play I think in the last quarter where he ran through the middle of the ground with very good pace. Like most that were at the game of watching I was extremely impressed with this kid - as has been mentioned he just seemed to pick up the pace of the game so quickly. If his body can stay in one piece we have a 200-300 game player. I just hope that he is carefully managed this year and not over played in the seniors as his body still needs more muscle to withstand the rigors of a full season. I would hope that he would be rested this week for Djerkurra.
 
Was very impressed with Lumberjack's first game in the hoops. Showed composure and the right instincts. Will be a great contributor for us...let's just not get too carried away just yet. But there are some good signs there! Great pick up for us.

Joel looked great out there in more ways than one ;)

He looked so comfortable and was composed. Looks like his going to be joining my favourite players list soon. GO SELWOOD!

Yes I agree, he was great to watch, the speed of the game did not seem to cause him any worries. Thats a sign of a top athlete, comfortable, relaxed and composed and yet they are working hard. Well done Joel.
 
Very good first up effort, showed great poise and used his skills, read the play well and got involved, did the 1% stuff. Will be a very good player for us over his career.

Solid effort

let's not cash in the chips after the first game of the NAB Cup. As the trolls have been pointing out we were Premiership Favs last year at one stage and look what happened. The guys looked good on Sunday, but they still have a lot of football to play before the GF is even to be considered.
 
As i've previously stated, we have drafted three players that will be 10 year players in Sellwood,Hawkins and Djerrkura.

Am really looking forward to seeing Dj.... play, sounds like a Wirrapunda clone. :thumbsu: to Wells and the recruiting staff
 
Ge I hope Selwood doesn't read this website... one game, one performance.. good strike rate but as mentioned before, a long way to go! Its unfair to say that Port have made a mistake because Geelong, if Boak was available, would've selected him before Selwood so it maybe considered a blessing in disguise for Geelong.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves please. I like the fact that even though he isn't gifted with pace, he has a great endurence, poise, ability and great skills. His performances will put plenty of pressure on players such as Kelly and Ling to perform each week.

It has already been said he is hard ball player! Nothing wrong with also having the skills and dash of an AA running back is there?

Re Joel.
Just loved his use of the body in close. A number of times he blocked or bumped to assist in close and used the body to block the run of would be tacklers outside. Only born footballers know this stuff. A good start.

Good to hear the young fella made an impression. I've downloaded the game and should be able to watch it tomorrow, can't wait to see how he looks and just to get a taste of the footy in general.

Nice signs but please let's not get too carried away!

Where do you download the games from? I have tried numerous times to get on Aussie Torrents, but I need someone who is already a member to help me out by sending an invite my way? Any chance any of you guys are members?

Yeah, his off the ball work was great to see. Certainly not afraid to throw his body around and get physical.

All in all, a nice start by Sel.
 
We have seen him twice now,whilst only pre-season games we should now be convinced we have a gun here. his game last night was even more impressive than last week.

Shows poise,leadership,passion skill,and football nous way beyound his years.

Djerrkura was electrifying every time he went near the ball.in time he will be a match winner for us. He IS the X-factor.
He has it all,agressive,skilled,fast and gets his own ball, that goal in the 3rd quarter said it all!

Two down and one to to go, this is going to be an historical draft for us. :)

Don't forget about Hogan. He may not have a credentials of the others but you never know what he could become.

Haven't forgotten about Hogan but have assumed he will take a few years much the same as Varcoe.
I have not doubt that both these players will have an impact in years to come, i was refering more to this current season.
From what we have seen of Sellwood and Dj.... (we still need to find a nic-name for him) and heard about Hawkins you just know they will contribute this year.:thumbsu:
