Great to see him (finally) named.

Hopefully he goes nicely down back and Waitey can have a field day up forward :)
 
By all reports the kid has come a long way this season. Was copping a bit of critisism last year and during the off season for what was described as 'laconic' training.

We drafted him at a young age, and the fact that he has pushed hard to get into this side and performed well is just fantastic.

Not expecting much from him at this stage. But it's just great to see someone like him come along the way he has. Hope he does well.

Not big enough but he's still young. Hopefully they give him a few weeks and he really shows us something for next year. :thumbsu:

It would be awesome if we have got our long term FB and CHB from the one draft what a steal that would be.

How can you be angry that Setanta isn't named?

He did not perform well defensively and was not up to standard in the Essendon and Richmond games, hence reasoning for being dropped in the first place.

By all reports his performance in the two's last week was woeful, and had to be moved up forward and out of defence. How does that constitute coming back into the team - especially when Austin has been performing week in week out in the Bullants?

Don't get me wrong, i love Setanta, but he does not deserve his place right now.

So good to see Austin in the side. A crucial player we need to develop for a Key position in the backline.

The pieces of the puzzle are coming together....
Couldn't help but put forth my preferred starting 22.

Armfield Jamison Thornton
Bower Austin Walker

Scotland Murphy Simpson

Waite Hartlett Gibbs
Fisher Fevola Betts

Hampson Judd Stevens

INT:Bentick, Browne, Kreuzer, Carazzo

Another gun HFF with sublime skills would just about complete the puzzel in terms of personel needed for our next premeirship assualt.

And of course our illuminating concerns of CHF if Hartlett goes down again...

Then I reckon all we need is just more quality depth players in the ruck and midfield and the side is REALLY looking good for #17:thumbsu:
 
If Austin can stand up at CHB a shitload of small, plastic square things will tumble into place for us. You know that old game, the one where you slide...............you know the one ffs............

I have no idea but Domi knows ...... <groan>
 
If Austin can stand up at CHB - And we must remember this position takes alot of time to master - it would free Waite - I'd like to see Waitey play a Richo type role as a rebounding attacking wingman.
