this is brilliant

 

[WWSD]

Is Hanrahan going to be elevated onto the senior list for next year?

 

[Slysh]

First goal in the Brown and Gold for young Ollie

 

[Lawsy]

He has applied good pressure and looks like he belongs which is what you hope for.
I obviously hadn't seen him play before today but he's more than held his own, great short fast handball to Burgers for his long range goal then right place to kick his first. Hoping for more of the same.

 

[Hodginator]

Has shown a fair bit for a first gamer. Me likey

 

[Bugs1977]

I reckon young Ollie just won himself a new contract and pretty much stamped the papers of anyone else that thought they might be renewed like Miles. Really showed good effort and character today. Thoroughly impressed with him.

Most importantly he kept me in me in the goal kicking competition

Some players rise to the occasion when given an opportunity & I think Hanrahan did that today.

Harry Jones is another one who will thrive on senior selection

Give Jones a game next week surely!

 

[Ned Ryerson]

Great first game for young Oli! Really excited to see more of him and Dylan Moore in our team.

 

[eldorado]

Just watching the replay...some real skill and composure in close in one passage. Real top shelf stuff...

I hope he stays on. As already said, he might be one that is more valuable in AFL systems, rather than VFL.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Tried hard and showed some glimpses, it would be nice if he could put on some size over the pre season.

 

[4THAWN]

Definitely showed some flashes of high football intelligence and good skills.

His debut reminded me slightly of a young lad named James Worpel, who's first game was quite a low-possession, yet effective, flashy and exciting first game for the club.

What is this blokes position? Forward, back, whats the go.

Small forward most likely.

Not sure he'll ever get a midfield tank.

 

[MrPremiership]

He's a small forward. Always will be.

Liked what I saw, hope he gets another 3-4 to show a bit more. No reason why he can't be on the list in 2020.

Needs to show more defensive pressure, but looks like he can be an offensive weapon.

 

[Slysh]

 

[SSSSSS]

Skills to pay the bills.

 

[Zack]

He's actual skills are ridiculously good. Whether the rest of his game comes with that who knows. But first option disposal was elite today. Whether goal, feed off for a goal or hitting a target... and I'll wear the couple of holding the ball decisions based on that creates a player who knows... but there was enough to like to give him another year.... at least.

 

[Hodginator]

Is he the second coming of Punky? Served his time on the rookie list and looks to feel immediately at home in the seniors.

The comparison is apt, he looks right at home, and we are so lucky that Punky is there to show him the ropes. He has the capability to nail the lightning snap and knows when to take his time and execute a kick to a teammate. Applied good pressure and also looked composed getting the ball up the ground. Very handy player.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

CLUTCH!
Cool.
Calm.
Composed.
Rookie gem.

 

[marklar]

Looked the goods tonight, calm and able to hustle when required.

 

[Brishawk]

He makes something happen out of not much. Perfect for the s**t fight that is modern afl

Yep those first three quarters were s**t. The last the fight.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

The thing is, we've not yet seen the things that really made me sit up and take notice of him at box hill, and that's his evasiveness and sidestep in traffic.
