Have watched him closely this year and he is starting to play like we knew he could each week he has taken steps forward.

Crossing every thing that can be crossed that he does not cop a injury
 
WWTFC; the best SANFL team, and the best contributor to the Crows list ;)

Knights is just a ball magnet of ridiculous proportions.

And yep, an absolute steal; there was an issue with his knee or osteo or something leading into the draft wasn't there?

I think he was injured for a couple of years. Before that he was very highly rated, but obviously fell off most clubs radars. I did say most, not all :D.

am i seeing things or is the lad showing a fair bit of pace lately?

He has got explosive pace, I saw it a few times on Saturday night when he broke away from packs. Hopefully he can use it a bit more.

Tis a bit of a stretch there, Knighta wasn't an Eagles player when picked up by us.

I also noticed that a few times he chased down a few of Sydney's quicker blokes as they were kicking, his closing speed is excellent. With more game time he should start backing himself to just burst away from centre bounces and go for goal, being the long kick that he is. He's got such potential and could be one of the real superstars of the comp in years to come, no doubt in my mind. The interstate media is just starting to talk a little bit about him I've noticed, and Reilly too. Heard them on the radio on Sunday, they noted that our younger guys are looking good and are perhaps more talented than most are led to believe.
 
wut station?

5AA was getting an interstate feed for the footy as it does, and I don't know which station that actually was. Basically they spoke about how young Knights is looking impressive, and Reilly has come on etc etc, I found it interesting that they cared enough to acknowledge what's happening in Adelaide. :p

The Melbourne stations actually don't mind talking about non-vic teams every now and then. You should find it more interesting if 5aa cared enough to talk about the non-SA sides. :)

5AA has lost its marbles. You've got KG mumbling away about nothing in particular (on occasion he'll stumble across a statement that means something and just retreat back to it monotonously every single night) and Corn-dog picking apart every written advertisement he's asked to read. Robert Walls hops on the line every week giving us nothing but bleeding obvious statements and wild predictions on every team under the sun (radio OFF). Before long "Donald" Neil Kerley swings by and persists with asking KG and Cornsey to "guess" who he thought played well instead of giving us anything with substance, and he's ALWAYS got what he intends to say "written down in front of me" yet STILL acts as if he's trying to remember what to say..."Isn't Brendon Lade a good player?" ....yes Kerley, now say something meaningful or go back to "writing things down in front of you" for next time. Then KG tips emphatically against the Crows or tips them to win "without any real confidence" while Keith and Pilco sit there insisting they'll be talking traffic with the senior-sergeant in "a moment or so"....please tell me precisely what measurement of time that is. :mad:
