Nah, let's not get silly about this. Next you'll say he's better than Cyril.

He has taken OShea's spot already.
Great first game definitely looks the goods.

Because we had too many high performing senior players....

Too busy trying to wring the last drops out of Stewart and O'Shea.

I don't think you understand what causes a system to break down, so it obviously is difficult to understand.

Tom Barrass of West Coast a certainty this week.
Would love to see Bonner play early next season and earn a nomination then. Hopefully he works his ass off in pre-season and comes into the round 1 side.
Barrass will get it and had a really good game but if it was on a single performance that Brayden Fiorrini had one of the best individual games from a youngster this season against us last night.
Really excited by how well Bonner did in his debut last night, the lad has a lot of composure down back, can defend/tackle & knows when to leave his opponent and go for an attacking run.
We all knew he's got a booming kick on him but that can become a real weapon once he gets a better feel for the speed of the game & despite playing his first game he wasn't afraid to take a kick out either which was impressive.
If he works his way into our best 22 early next year I don't see any reason not to play Hartlett more forward of centre, Riley has all the skills to do everything Harts does as a back flank/wingman probably better because he finds it more.

I immediately saw a young Grant Burchill..after a full pre season, second yr at the club, knowing the surrounds, players etc he will be a player. Composed great kick already happy to take the game on. Well done on game 1...another 200 to come and just slotted in without being flustered. P37 a STEAL

With Broady 2 things; 1) consider a trade if decent 2) if Broady stays then play in the midfield as his lack of speed is a problem in defence
Nah...nice game, but reckon Fiorini had a much bigger game and bigger impact on the game for GC
He's been playing for the maggies all year smithy! Maybe first game in Ports AFL Guernsey (almost wrote strip -Burgo would have been impressed!)?
I should have said Port AFL colours but I thought you might have known what I meant. I know he played in the Maggies side, have watched him lol
Riley Bonner will be on 5AA later today...
After 4.30...

Poor kid. I hope he is prepared for any 'bonner' jokes the cackling colossus may send his way.
Was very impressed with the way Riley spoke ....

I thought he must have been injured.
Seriously why didn't he play AFL earlier?
