Coach Michael Barlow - was the Head of Development. Moving into NMFC line coaching (midfield)

Sheez - could be our best ever, breaking records every year since he debuted.
Colby - kid is special, ball magnet, multiple AA’s.
FOS - think he’ll be lower possession, but very big impact type.
Warlord - injuries concern me, otherwise could be anything.

same for me Sherm

Sheez..will turn up every week
Colby.. great line breaking. But think he will be a bit LDU like and have quiet games
FOS...One of those players who just makes it look simple. Sometimes they don't stand out as much
Wardlaw.. Sometimes body reacts quicker than brain. ie only has one gear ( and its a goodie !)Head knocks worry me.

It's going to be like trying to rank Schimma, Keithy, Dench, and Blight.

I don't see FOS ever being a superstar. He doesn't, and likely won't, win outrageous amounts of ball and unless he magically turns into one of the great utilitarian goalkickers I don't see him ever getting the fanfare. I can very easily see him being in our top three most important players over a period longer than a decade, and that's the sort of profile that's valued internally far more than it is in the outside world

Agree, i can see him being our version of a Joel Corey type throughout the cats 3 peat. Just doesn't go to ground and stands up when the team needs it.

FOS will be a backbone player if he continues to develop as he is. The type no team wins without. Not fancy but reliable and unselfish. Others will get gaudier stats and better highlights but if we build a winner he will be one of the two or three key guys the coaches regularly reference as vital because they will know what they are getting from him every single game. He is the type that helps make others look better by choosing the right option at the right time.

Excellent comparison. Guys like him and Mitch Duncan are severely underrated from that dynasty because Selwood, Ablett, Bartel, Chappy and Johnson were so good.

You have got to love pre-season.

Using AI to do captions creates these really odd transcripts, especially when someone doesn't enunciate all that well like Barlow. Good thing I speak "mumbler" as Barlow definitely said "mid"

I know he said mid but it was pretty funny reading.
