Welcome jnr - was a need and looks quality.
Those bagging his disposal figures - he’s a small fwd and they don’t usually get many possessions

All we need is someone that gives us a genuine chance to convert after a kick inside 50 is spoiled or gets out the back. Some genuine small forward presence gets the crowd excited and to be honest we haven't had that excitement since Boomer.
We gotta make our opposition defenders nervous when the ball hits the deck not just concerned about our talls and they're good to get a rebound.
I'm going early but I think if Spicer can fix some of the things he needs to work on and Hansen can become a threat around the packs we're gonna be hard to matchup against.
It's just been too bloody long. We're known for our small forwards and we haven't had one since LT and Boomer. Criminal.

Actually what has he done? Didn't seem near breaking into the side and wraps were saying he'd go top 10 at that year end national draft. Delist?

Enjoy mellow coffee & live a petty bourgeois life.
I reckon TAO has been a suspect on previous occasions.

If only he was arriving in the next hour or so.
Anyway, welcome aboard Loogie Jnr.

We need to have our forwards hunting in packs.

Let’s see what the kid can do. I have a feeling that if PS plays with RHJ, PSs pressure and tackling will seem a lot more accomplished.

All I will say is, someone in recruiting has a garden gnome obsession. No where near enough talls on the list and way too many 180cm and under types. 180cm is the new 172cm.

think so, he is actually struggling to be in the VFL team by numbers.

Yeah when was the last time a player of ours crumbed the ball and burst into the forward line then kicked a goal
What I find interesting is that I think Clarko sees football as a ground ball game, more than an aerial contest. I must say having Wardlaw buzzing around the contest has already made a difference to how we play, how competitive we are. It's probably why Spicer keeps getting a game - he has the right attributes. Speed and agility around the contest is viewed as more important than talls and marking contests. Of course you need both but it appears the game plan is geared towards the ground ball.
Bobby Jnr fits the bill perfectly. Also for some reason he strikes me as the type of player that plays better in a higher standard.
We might be all in on Reid

Was it Matty Campbell and Lindsay the last indigenous small forward pair? I remember being really excited at the prospect only to never see it quite hit the potential

A huge number of my cousins.
Yes. From the two games I saw him play, he's more of a half forward who uses his pace to get in the open.
Not a forward pocket.
