Pretty simple at years end give him sylvia's contract.

 

yeah, terrible user of the footy. Lacks awareness too, but he tries..i wouldn't mind giving him a 2 yr contract

 

Drafted as forward.

Trains with the forwards.

Plays forward at Casey this year. But plays down back with the seniors. Do you think the ultimate aim is to have him play down back or up forward?

Who can tell.

Bennell is another good example - plays well down back as a running linkman for Casey, comes into the Dees, plays as a sub who gets to spend time as a small forward when on the ground.


He's Mr Kool for mine never looks perturbed by pressure. I like him contrary to some bad turnovers he seems to switch play well and reads the flow of the game effectively. 2 yr lease with an option to buy in 3

And while we're at it, let's also sign up Sammy Blease for 2 yrs before he flies off to join his mate interstate.

Possibly the worst kick at the club, which is something of a (dis)honour given there is sincere competition for that title.

The rest of his game, though, I love. He seems a natural defender, like Rivers. He can read the play nicely, he holds his own even when giving up weight and/or height, he's courageous, and he also has an attacking bone in his body. I love seeing him peel off his forward and push up the wing. Of course, he can get burnt on the turnover, but I like that he has that attack to him.

Hopefully the kicking will improve. Even if not, he's still a great young prospect.

 

Certainly not the worst kick at the club, not even close whilst Bartram remains on the list. He's a similar kick to say Nicholson who under more pressure will make more mistakes but when in time and space is more likely to use it well. I still think he'll end up a forward. His size, endurance and marking lends more to CHF and with Watts looking more and more like a CHB it just makes sense to me. I've got no problem with him down back whilst the midfield means that's where the ball is.

will be in the leadership group in a couple of years.

Is he moving? Do you have inside knowledge?


for a second year player he is underated..has played on big names. He has had some cool heads around him to help him.

I like his game except for his kicking. Needs to work on his kicking everyday. Right now is a Warnock clone

He's got much more composure than Warnock.

His composure has a greater ceiling than Warnock, but I would not say it is greater right now. Maybe I am still blinded by the Bulldogs game.


Jobe Watson was a terrible kick when he started.....Kicking can be improved...

yeah, terrible user of the footy. Lacks awareness too, but he tries..i wouldn't mind giving him a 2 yr contract

I guess that means we will sign him for 3-4yrs.

watching tonight and i see alot of Harry Taylor in Mcdonald personally. Frawley can play the Scarlett role and Mcdonald takes a more lock down role imo

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.
