Hell yes Howie. I cant wait to get him up and about causing havoc. Especially since he is trimmer now and has more "Brothers" around him. Forgive me if I am mistaken but didn't he also take on a mentoring role ? The added responsibility plus the slimmer frame will make for exciting times ahead.

As much as I love the guy, I want him to stay fit and play a full season before judging him based on a few great games.

Second that.

Really hoping the 2010 season will be injury free !!!

It's getting frustrating as hell.

Ohh I am seriously salivating at our forward line. Throw in Tapscott and Slyvia who can roost them from 60 and we have options for goals that we haven't had for years. Also before anyone cracks it I am only suggesting they have a ping from 55 plus out if there are no targets.

The option will present itself quite frequently given that all of our forwards are of the "roaming up the ground" type. Don't be surprised to see them playing as link men and handballing off to the running player at around the 70m mark.

completely agree.. i think everyone forgets how good this guy was in his first season.. i know it was only a few games.. but he has a lot of potential!!

not playing last year and getting over shadowed by jurrah people have forgotten this.. i am always amazed when reading peoples 'future demon team' and they leave aussie out of the forward line!

Aussie has passion, and most importantly he has HEART. The little guy can pump up the whole ground when he kicks goals & celebrates. I love this kid.

THE MFC forward line is starting to taking shape, there will be a few worried defensive line real soon!!! GO THE DEES.

Needs to be quicker than he was. It looked like he would be, given the reports of his fitness in the pre-season, but then he broke down and didn't play a senior game for us.

As I said in a thread earlier in the year, I can't remember whether he can play or not. I do remember that I changed my mind 100 times during 2008, but too much water has passed under the bridge since he last played.

Clean slate 2010 as far as I'm concerned.

The thing I remember most watching the games from level 4 of the G is how well he read the play, and moved to the right spot inctinctively ALL the time. I remember vividly a goal he kicked against Collingwood, where he was running back towards the goal and intinctively cut inside, leaving his oponant for dead, and him free to take the ball on his chest and boot the goal from 40 on the run. Bring on 2010

exactly what i remember too. what i liked about him was that he seemed to me a genuine crumber, who read the ball off the top of the play. he didnt have amazing pace, or super clever tricks, but he read it well. hopefully he continues on from where he left off, is a very promising player.

Yes I reckon he can really play, really knows how to but the ball to teamate's advantage too.

I'm hoping modern sports medicine can get him up because I had a similar knee cartiledge ingury 10 years ago and despite an arthriscope it really never got better despite being told it would be fine in 10 weeks

His 2008 was a tale of 2 stories.

Was exciting in some of his early MCG games and was good for 2-3 goals each week. However he had no impact in his last half a dozen games - looked tired.

Can't wait to see him in the same fwd line as Jurrah!!

Good to hear positive news about Aussie..

We've missed Aussie forward pressure for to long, it been to easy to forget how damaging he can be...

Can wait till next years, The Aussie and Jurrah show.......

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
