Interesting to hear the hammy was the first major injury of his career, not like he has Harley’s dodgy calves or anything like that. And the bit about his body language being poor when things weren’t going his way should be relatively easy to overcome now he has recognised it as an issue.

Sounds like a guy who is receptive to feedback and willing to improve his game. Big tick.

I didn't watch the Fremantle - Lions game on the weekend but on the radio they were saying Jesse Hogan's body language was terrible. Things like that go a long way to influencing teammates out on the ground - both positive and negative.

Lloyd very high praise for him. Thinks he could play AFL this year, massive call.

This is Lloyd we are talking about, grain of salt

Suns fans - are you surprised you didn’t use the second pick in the mid-season draft to grab a tall defender?

I really thought you’d take the opportunity given Thompson is out for the year and now Collins will miss a fair chunk.

I wasn't surprised,not at all. I don't think the List Management wanted to spend $70,000 for a defender who maybe no better than the defenders we already have playing in the 2's. Maybe there wasn't enough room in the Salary Cap. Maybe they're happy with what we have. I'm sure they have their reasons and I'm backing them in.

Collins will be back week after thr bye. Maybe if he was out for the year.

Who are your tall defenders playing in the 2s? Has Day been switched back following all the injuries?

I checked the NEAFL side that played against Sydney and couldn't spot a defender over 190 cm.

Jack Leslie (197cm)
Caleb Graham (195cm) both played against Sydney in the backline

Thanks. I totally forgot about Leslie but Graham is a new name for me.

He was taken in last yrs draft at #71 and is from our Academy.

can't understate how impressed I am with Riordan from these snippets on radio etc.
Highlights look goo too!

 

[gcsunsfc]

So he didn't play in the reserves this week by the look of things?

Nope. Hopefully this week.

 

[gcsunsfc]

Nope. Hopefully this week.

I reckon he looks like a Brodie Smith type - not quite the laser right foot but still some good qualities.

 

[robo_1]

So he didn't play in the reserves this week by the look of things?

They didn’t want to rush him in and get injured like Sam fletcher

 

[Supersuns]

Chances Mitch gets a game this week? Been in ripping form

 

[eppo67]

Very big chance Club is keen on him and been impressed with him since arrival. Good attitude highly coachable.

Looks a likely type, tackles well and is a good size for a mid, needs some kgs but looks good so far

 

[eppo67]

I'm told it's a big chance he'll take Miles spot but match committee have final say.

 

[gcsunsfc]

Sounded like an intelligent adult in his interviews after being drafted. Only 19 years old.
Spoke better than our captains honestly.

I'm told it's a big chance he'll take Miles spot but match committee have final say.

Who’s on the match committee, Eddie McGuire and Jeff Kennett and Tonald McDonald by the look of some selections or non seletions this year
