What's happened to this kid?

Looked good then fell off the radar. Is he hurt or playing for Sandy?

Did his hammy. Hopefully he can still have an impact this year.

 

[Bartram_Class]

He will struggle to get his place back unfortunately i think but hes shown more than enough this year already.

He will struggle to get his place back unfortunately i think but hes shown more than enough this year already.

Will replace Read next week when he's 100% fit.

Bate is one youngster who I can safely say will have an impact in finals. He is great when given game time in the middle

 

[Bartram_Class]

You read a Read type in the midfield, fact, we havent won a game this year without either Godfrey or Read in the team, read into that what you will.

 

[Jimi]

Would be a shoe in to win the rising star award next year if he doesn't have any more games this year. That said, he will have more games and could be a suprise packet come finals.

 

[melbournemartin]

wouldn't call him a shoein for next years rising star with the talent on offer.

 

[goDees22]

I would. Was robbed of selection this year (probably just because he has red hair), and has been great this year, with another preseason under his belt he will tear it up next year

 

[Waite_30]

if his fit next week, would he play?

 

[Deestroy]

After a month off I doubt he will come straight back into AFL, there's too much pressure for spots. Playing a couple short in dreamteam?
