Played the first two games of the year and wasn’t sighted afterwards. Was given the kick-in duties and showed he had a bit to learn. Went back to Casey before hurting his shoulder. Has a lot of competition for spots across half-back - Luke Holmesby melbournefc

This is the year to show whether he has got what it takes.With Cheney shafted it is up to James now- make or break year no doubt.

Yikes! This kid scares me and not in a good way.

I'm on record as saying that I don't think he will make it but I really hope he does. We need some skills coming out of the back line.

He has a gorgeous kick on him, but nothing else about his game stands out at this stage.

Has a lot of work to do & has looked soft early on.

Hopefully he'll be able to overcome this.

Cheney shafted?? You're kidding. Cheney was not going to get a regular gig at MFC being about 2 or 3 in rank to get a defensive role in the 22. We did him a favour trading him and he has a chance with his future. Had we not done so we would have really shafted him by playing him at Casey.

I'm on record as saying that I don't think he will make it but I really hope he does.

Hardly worth stating that because I think the consensus is very much that way unless he turns it around.

Hold some hope as he was a relatively high pick in a strong draft. It's a bigger step from school footy than the TAC Cup,(Ithink he only played school footy) not to mention he missed the bulk of his first season with a shoulder reco. Will probably get 2 more years to show whether he's upto it or not. Let's hope so as some talent was picked after him.

Im pretty sure he played for Vic Metro in the 08 carnival. Like you i hold some hope that he will become a decent player as he has enough going for him if he can improve on the weaknesses in his game and stay injury free for a season.

So if I have something on my mind that you think may be the consensus I should not type it? Rightyo.....

I get the feeling he was drafted because he was a good athlete with a lethal kick. I stand to be corrected, but I thought I read somewhere that he was not a prolific possession gatherer in junior footy.

Fingers crossed he can improve enough to contribute to a winning side.

I just want everyone to acknowledge that I'm on record as saying that I don't think tomorrow will be friday. But I hope it is.

You know, so when I'm right everyone can shower me with adulation.

That's all.

Think... Jayden Pitt in this year's draft.

That is Strauss, albeit with a lighter frame.

When you say 'that is all' it's a real pity you have to follow it up with the very next post. I'm guessing by the number of posts, their lack of either length or substance that you are a goldfish with the attention span of around 3 seconds.

Pretty much.

One post was aimed at poking fun at another poster, another was a thought that popped into my head.

Separate ideas.

And, yeah, it's all just short term bursts of amusement for me.

It's not like this is some carefully considered high art form - there's too much stupidity involved for that.

Just about!

Sometimes I have to stop and think "have I already posted in this thread & am I about to contradict myself..?"

You were making a statement for the record which was hardly notable considering another 57 posters have said for the past few months.

I would not make a big point of it. It was hardly out of left field.

What else is on your mind?

Looks like he could be the first mark on Barry's otherwise good record (early days yet of course). Strauss is still young though, so time is on his side to improve.

You have to get the pill before you can kick it!!!

Definitely "unproven" in my book.

I still feel that Cheney was shafted- this is my opinion. And I wish James the best.

What you are trying to say is that we were, in effect, shafted by losing him.

I think that's what you're saying.

And it's wrong.

But who the hell can tell what you're on about?

You'd know- it takes one to know one.

Why do you think Cheney was "shafted" ? Can you support this ?

Or am I talking to a brick wall !

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
