The sonsie handball and the Gibcus mistake were killers.
By and large very promising first seasons

absolute rubbish many players get better in thier second year. what sort of logic are yo suggesting and that is is well known in sport your the flog mate
fantastic in the final other than one bad handball, but you can't knock a player for that flare at 18 to try it in a final. but will learn... an absolute steal at pick 28 Would expect this from a top 10 easy
Also touching on a wayward pass ... Pickett is the king of a handball straight to oppo and I'm pretty sure it happened in this game as well.
The Baker free and 50 was way worse from a vet player and Shai trying to play on and get HTB was worse. More players than sonsie made more mistakes in that game.

No doubt he will be in the #10 next year

IMO so far Sonsie has been the 2nd best player in the draft. Only Daicos has shown more. Been better than ward, Hobbs, JHF, Callaghan And Rachele

It is a thing, but might not be quite the same as he didn't really play a full year and doesn't have crazy expectations on him because of it. Feels like a good base to build on.
Can’t wait for this kid to get another pre season under the belt , barely trained until February , bit more belief and confidence in his ability to use those feet of his and he can be a very damaging player ,,, same goes for gibbo cumbo and mrj , that next pre season will be huge for their development

JHF has been elite at sooking
You'd think he'd be an early contender, though I imagine Sam Darcy will be favourite
He did fa after r4
Glad it's rumoured we have Taranto, the kids going to need some help. My fear was he ends up like Mark Coughlan with no support and then his body breaks down.

Cogs was an animal
Very different tolls on their bodies.
I expect we ll add more than Taranto
Did someone say Hopper!

So where to for this guy now. Had a great first season and showed a lot of promise in the middle. Best young midfield prospect for a long time.
But with Cotchin re-signing, & adding Hopper & Taranto to an already solid rotation including Prestia, Short, Graham, Bolton, Dusty, Baker, Ross - you would think he might struggle to get minutes. Only other position for him would maybe be HFF, but our forward line is very loaded also. I think we would be doing his talent a disservice playing him in the VFL

You would have to be absolutely delusional if you dont believe we will get injuries in 2023 to any of the mids
or we will be resting any of Prestia , Martin , Cotchin

We should not be lacking for inside mids anymore with our likely new additions. Sonsie is more skilled than graham and Ross at least. His foot skills will be valued. With a full preseason under his belt I’d be backing him to earn his spot in the rotation. He could also play wing.
