Good...
On a side note. I know hird is a controversial comparison but he was a very very good footballer.... not that he will be remembered just for that anymore.

I think Chas Curnow will be a little Kouta like.
You never want to get too far ahead of yourself, but Charlie sure has a lot about him to like.

He comes across as a cheeky, yet lovable character.
He was fantastic with all the kids and families yesterday. Full of energy....all of the time. :)

Saw him in a VFL game smother a ball off the boot, he had no right to get to.
There weren't many moments last year that had you in awe.........but that was one of them :)

We're not going to put up with too many project players, but this is one I think we can and will give time to.
Yeah, i agree.

If you're gonna carry a project player or 2 on your list, make it a KPB and/or a Ruck. They can come on. Sometimes quickly when it finally all clicks.

JGM, if they see glimmers there, should be persevered with. Just to note, i'm only saying this on theory, as i've yet to see JGM play since the U18 Champs.

Not too shabby.
Look at where he started off for some scale.
He was around the 45mt mark before he turned the jets on.


The other thing about Jesse is that he has long limbs. His arms are long and should allow him to get to contests other's couldn't (see Watson)

Here's JGM's smother #3
Doesn't look like much here but it was as much a highlight as any mark...to me.
So that's where Lucas Cook has ended up at...Port. I thought he'd quit footy altogether for Uni life instead.

I remember in his draft year when we desperately needed KPP's, i didn't want Watson( :thumbsu: for me) but i didn't mind Cook ( :thumbsdown: for me). Luckily for West Coast, Melbourne and us took both and left them Jack Darling.

To my mind, CC is the quintessential high key forward of the modern era and era going forward.

He will be named as CHF and he will roam a lot. A big A Grade athlete and A Grade footballer is the stuff of dreams.

I think he is a tad too heavy to play midfield for more than just a pinch hit. Too taxing on the body. Only the freakish Adam Goodes could really carry that bulk thru the midfield.

He is going to be a very interesting watch though isn't he.
Sweet dreams are made of this



(who am I to disagree)

My personal belief is that once we have a midfield which has increased depth and ability with cleaner hands as an example, could he be used in the forward line to snare a few goals, similar to Wright? We all know he booted 6 in a game vs Kangas, obviously he has a goal sense about him, worth a shot?

Thoughts.
His forward ability cant be based on two day out performances against the same team- the kangas. I am not sure that he is elusive enough to kick bags of goals on a regular basis. Certainly the F50 is not taking advantage of his endurance in any way
