As long as YLY is inviting these comparisons he's travelling well.

I wonder what percentage of players take a hanger on debut?

 

[maddog37]

6.36% according to Maddog37 data.

Higher than I expected. Was expecting it to be roughly 0.54%

636

Lewis Young wears 33.

Good energies.

That left peg to hit Dickson up in the second was sublime.

 

[Southern 8]

That pass to Dickson was right in front of me, total class. Chris Grant type class. I nearly wet myself.

 

[bresker]

Got out bodied a few times but what I really like is that he never puts his head down or backs off, he's always willing to try and try again against bigger stronger opponents

 

[DogDays]

Kids got class and poise, love it!

Hands like Wood. Poise like Murph. Brilliant start to his career.

 

[threenewpadlocks]

Once he adds a bit of core strength and muscle, he'll be able to hold his ground in front position of marking contests more easily - got knocked around at times that he had to dig his feet in as opposed to run and jump at it, but that's expected for a bloke who isn't turning 19 for another 5 months. The signs are there. Genuinely excited.

If he'd gone around in U18s again and played this well, he'd be a top-10 pick this year.

Obviously needs a few years in the gym. Got pushed around in the contest a number of times yesterday but that's to be expected and it's not an easy task even for the most experienced defenders to match up on Daniher and Hooker. But geez he's exciting. That left foot pass was something else. I just love the way he plays and I know it's still early days but I think I've seen enough. He's got all the traits to be elite and he seems like a good kid who will do what he needs to to get there! At 18 he probably hasn't even finished growing yet, the upside he has just in his physical development is absolutely huge, and I think he'll start to fill out pretty bloody quickly!

On my way to festival Hall last night I drove down Barkly st. and was slightly bemused by the number of bespoke burger joints and the like that are now popping up. In my desperation to eat I only encouraged this creeping gentrification by stopping in at something called Up in Smoke for a quick bite and was sat at the bar right next to a guy with a long beard and a man bun. I s**t you knot.

My dear departed and life long Footscray resident grandfather would've beat him to death.

No way, Up In Smoke is amazing. Their beef brisket burger and waffle fries poutine is glorious. Good beers, too.

Yeah agree 3 games cant just be luck now. He's going to be a gun. He could minimise the weight imbalance by backing of and running back to the drop - no point standing under it against those guys for now.

I'm hoping he hooks up with one of the Bont's sisters and they have quadruplet boys

Bonts mother would be delighted with all those grandkids, Bont and Katie Brennan are going to have a dozen too, aren't they?

Hope so...they'd all be built like Buddy Franklin, with more ability!

 

[The Original Swooper]

Stud fees are huge these days. Good to see an opportunity for Bont to supplement the under market salary he will accept for staying a Bulldog for life.

Disconcerting subtitle (THE BEAST) and number of posts there, mate.

Maybe you should get out and exorcise a bit more...

Ahh, it's gone now. Must be a BF auto-special. As soon as you moved off 666 posts.

Hi Grimlock,

Do you have VFL season averages for our players?

I was going to make a spreadsheet based on your weekly (much appreciated) posts, but if you already have that data, and would be prepared to share it, that would be a huge time saver and very appreciated.
