Inspirational bit of play that was! He's doing it regularly now too. Great signs from big PJ who is having a great year. How good was the crowd also?! The sound from the members wing was amazing yesterday. Kudos to us all :D

It was Green who said it.

I've been PJ bandwagon member #1 since '05 (don't believe me? check my posts :)) and saw him play juniors, and not even i knew that he was in the top 5 at the club for speed! I knew he was quick for a big man, but not that quick...

Not to take anything away from PJ, who looks really quick over 50+ metres, but we really must have a slow list...

Jump in the queue Doggo. Its not PJ it's High Tower too.

From people i know,who know PJ, they have said he always had a lack of confidence in himself.

It seems like he is starting to see himself as a real player now.

He is really attacking the ball and the man, and showing he has skill, not only agility.

By the way, if Sherman was smart, he should have changed direction and headed off to the side, PJ most likely would have run by him, and Sherman could have gotten away.Not that i am compaining, i was inspired by the play.

The running goal by Miller in the first quarter demonstrated what i mean, he was running to goal and Patful was on his tail, Brad cut in and changed direction and Patful was gone. (was happily surprised by this piece of Miller's play, did not think he could do that)

On The Couch... They pumped up his tyres a HEAP...

That one act on Sunday would have made his trade price jump from about pick 60 or so, up to about 20 something (draft pick). Coaches would have salivated at a ruckman who can play forward that has that kind of pace and work ethic, and can drill them from 55. In his early twenties, he's gonna be attractive come trade time.

Not that I'd trade him. The guy has a future, those that backed him, take a bow... but only after Hightower takes one.

His about as untradable as Brad Green and Brock McLean IMO.

Hes versatile, and one of the only tall forwards we have at the moment.

Absolutely fantastic. Similar to his run down against Sydney last year (or was it the year before) when he broke his collarbone. Gives his all - that's all you can ask for.

It was better than that.

He kicked the ball forward then - realising that it was in open space - chased down his own kick, arriving at the same moment as a Swan, dived on the loose ball = season ending shoulder injury.

Later, 50m penalty against Rivers for (cough cough) not throwing it straight back, Cameron Bruce match winning snap (again) = season back on track = finals appearance.

We were 0-3 going into that game. That entire 2006 season owes itself to PJ's glorious moment at the SCG that afternoon.

Couple that with his chase down on Sunday - cometh the hour cometh the man!!

The gutsiest part of that play IMO, was that he contested the next boundary throw-in with a dislocated shoulder. He was right next to the interchange gate, and could have come off straight away but a replacement wasn't ready, so he contested and won the hitout, before coming off. That's tough and selfless.

How bout how he broke his hand in the 1st quarter against the Cats in round 3, but went onto to have 19 disposals, 12 hitouts and be one of our better players for the match? Unbelievable determination.

Truly inspirational stuff.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
