Doing my best to apply jumper leads to the comatose forum that Ozzult is bitching about, lets talk about, umm...

Jeremy Humm.
Where's the Humminator going to fit in in 2003? From what we saw of him in 2002, he appears to have experienced measured, if not spectacular, improvement since last year. Without a doubt, his most promising attribute is his courage, strong tackling and willingness to put his body on the line. Despite playing only four games during the regular season, Humm got a guernsey for our first finals match, something which is probably in itself a sign of how highly Worsfold thinks of him. Humm didn’t disappoint, playing the best game of his short career vs Essendon, kicking his first ever AFL goal, and also laying a team high 7 tackles for the day.
I rate Humm, he's a good player, but in the short term I tend to see him as an understudy for Phil Read- he's got some pace, is a tenacious tackler, and rarely loses his man, making him a decent option in the back pocket.

Hard to predict, but I could see him maturing into a style of player not dissimilar from someone like Libba.

..hopefully without the whole eye-gouging and taking a **** by the side of the field thing? :)

Couldn't you think of another tagger he could emmulate. I would hate for any of our players to play like Libber. You want a bit of mongrel in your taggers, but not that much.....
 
The first thing regarding Humm is actually finding out just where he will play? You would think he would be way too far back in the line for a midfield spot but with Read's return (apparently looking great) then a back pocket spot is out also. Plus is Humm ahead of Wooden for a back pocket spot if Read is injured again (touch a lot of wood...massive amounts)

I think he will get a game though no question. He deserves one after his stellar performance against the Bombers.

There were positives about Libba. For Jez to inherit those traits would be a very good thing. Selective emmulation perhaps?
