You wouldn't want to crucify the kid. He's nowhere near developed enough to be asked to take on that task.

Just checking,
he looks wide though.

Plan B - 8 guys in defence.

I watched him train during the week and could do all these things.

Actually Kooley his kicking ability is pretty poor, its so bad that i cringe every time he has to kick it. I must admit that his kicking has improved since the start of last year, but still even now its a big worry.

His endevour however is pretty good and his an athletic KKB so we need to persist with players like him.

Is it just be or have you become somehwat embittered and cynical about BF?

No.....it's just you.

He is a big boy. His under development is more mental/attitudinal rather than physical in nature. Hopefully he'll get there in the next year or so, our structure so needs him to.

I think you missed the point of this forum.

Young players don't get time, especially KPP's..........they perform year 1 or they are out of favour and bagged endlessly.........unless we then trade them..............then we all love them and wish they had stayed.

At last, an accurate Mission Statement! The laminater please.

I hope Aussie gets a shot this week for Jammo.

I hope Aussie gets a shot this week for Jammo.

you would think he has a massive chance considering he has been in the best for the bullants in the last 2 weeks.

Hows the form of Saddington going. Is he injured or jst out of form???

Injured according to the club.

Can't see him getting a game without match practice......and even then its a stretch.......of Ackland proportions.......depth player......real DEEP.

I would suggest that Ratts won't even ave to invivte him into his office in October for "the chat"......Saddo will have cleared out his locker after round 22 and be looking for a VFL gig.

Very pleased to here Austin's been playing good footy, after reports of indifferent form earlier in the season/throughout last year.

Great to see he really is close to a senior call up. He would have to be a massive chance of coming into the side this week, with Jamison out for a couple.

Can't wait to see him and how he performs. We're screaming out for a key defender so if he can show some signs in the seniors I think he'll be given plenty of opportunities over the remainder of the year.
