Terrific young talent. Built like a key forward but has the tank to roam up around the ground to present a strong marking option.

Only knock on him I have at this stage is that he doesn't impact the scoreboard enough.

Would be a terrific get if we can manage it.
Agree with the scoreboard impact but given he plays everywhere on the ground in sure if we played him more permanently forward the scoreboard impact would come naturally.

Meanwhile looks like Kennedy is having one of those games that makes me really sad. But then I think of Juddy.

Think I just heard a contender for the worst call of the year:

"He's been up and down.........Yeo........Yeo". :cool:
Dwayne Russell said Nick Robertson was out on his legs and exhausted. It was irrelevant that Robertson nearly knocked himself out after launching and landing on his head. Couldn't believe my ears.

Tomlinson's sister was one of my daughter's friends in high school - she was an Olympic class middle distance runner, sadly serious injury ended her career - after she had put in years and years of daily gut running and coaching. The family are sports freaks and athletes - Tomlinson has good endurance running genetics.

Training drill with Lycett flicking it to Masten who flicked it to a teammate who nailed the pass to Kennedy. Meh. Zero pressure. Buntine had no chance against a KPP.
Even if there was pressure he had no chance. Why wasn't a tall defender on the most damaging player on the ground? You wouldn't have Tuohy getting caught out on Kennedy if he's kicked a bag already.

He's been gone long enough now. Still watch him closely at the Eagles though.
We've done alright out of the deal as well......
I know we did. But there's always that little part that wished we could have given something else.

But you'd do the trade again. Judd brought us back from the dead - on & off field. But it still stings.
