Trotted out the standard "I'm just focusing on my footy at the moment" when asked about his future.
When they asked him about his Melbourne house he recently bought he trotted out the "focusing on footy" line which was strange considering it has no relevance to his on field progress. He tried to deflect too hard.

A few on there say he was BOG.
I'm seriously wondering if they all have a secret BigFooty pact to talk him up regardless of how ineffectual he was.

He did nothing. One goal over the top from the hard work of others and then just floated around wide of the contest waiting for the easy cheese. No tackles at all. No stats in the last 25 minutes when the game was on the line.

I honestly love it when you see him 10 metres from the ball carrier flapping his arms like a seagull and his team mate just burns past him.

There are other teams?
I'm really looking forward to the Lions v Suns game next week. They are a decent side but quite beatable (by us) from what I've seen so far. Would love to see the Lions deflate their balloon and keep them as the QLD juniors.
They are not actually great when they have persistent pressure on them - as capable as any team of looking lost. They just look good when allowed to do their thing in space. Carlton are as mistake-ridden as we can be and look slower than us but they are keeping pressure on GC so that they can't get their flowing open-space footy going very often. GC will win it reasonably comfortably but it shows that they don't necessarily look terribly composed when they feel a bit of pressure on them.

Ateotd we started the hype on Aish drafting him at 5.

It was unfortunate this hype was then onsold to the Pies,for the Pies.
Yeah he's struggling a bit. I caught sight of him chasing his opponent today and was surprised at how slow he looked. He didn't look like a good runner at all.

I might have mentioned it before but from a financial perspective clubs hang onto there high draft picks for more years than normal even though they are battling a bit.He could of made a few million with the Lions as a whipping boy for 6-8 years.Not guaranteed another contract at the Pies.Who is his manager again ?
