Just quietly..

HOW GOOD IS THIS KID?

One of the few smalls we have who loves a goal, and knows where they are!

He has gone under the radar, and looks to have the edge on JKH.. In my eyes, has abit of the Pulopulos about him.. I think he could be a real livewire for us in the next few years!

His first couple of touches were class

[Deestroy All 14,262]

Loved his first mark. Owed himself and his teammates after his not so impressive marking attempt last week.

I'm a big fan.

[Lord Travis 10,696]

It's great to see him hitting the scoreboard and contributing to the team so early in his career, but he's an inside midfielder. He's only playing up forward due to lack of fitness and to get him into the speed of the game. He'll build up strength and fitness and move into the midfield full time. We still need to find a competent small forward for when Garlett is gone or not in form. Kent might be that player, I don't think JKH is.

I'm really excited by him. Got dropped, went back to the VFL and racked up 40 touches in the midfield. He's going to be a key player in our midfield for the next 10 years. It's a bonus he can take a strong grab and hit the scoreboard!

Kent, salem, Frost, Petracca, trengove.. All best 22

A fit list will create a few headaches for selection next year!!

Also a fit Pedersen! (Could even go back to defence!!)

Dunno about the Pulopulos bit yet but agree with the rest.

Be happy if you were right though.

Who the heck is Pulopulos?

[Arrow 1,257]

Who the heck is Pulopulos?

A poor mans spelling of Puopolo one would assume..

[What 18,810]

That mark in the last was awesome. Fearless and courageous

[Forest Demon 4,681]

We have a handful of young players from picks in Round 2 right through to the rookie draft that are looking quite likely. There is at least a couple of good players out of ANB, Stretch, Harmes, JKH etc. And for me, I think ANB looks the most likely out of that lot.

[dazzledavey36 54,228]

Has Rory Sloane written all over him. Tough, fearless and wins the hardball.

Will be a beauty for us in years to come. And to think he didn't even do a pre season due to his knee injury its first class the way he has manage to play 6 games and contribute. I think next year he will be easily best 22 in our midfield.

[The Chazz 4,077]

I also attended training yesterday. Was a fantastic day, bloody hot, but considering we didn't have a Qld game last year or this year, it was worth the red skin that I'm now plastering with aloe vera.

...

ANB - hard to make a call given I didn't see him pick up a footy. That said, he's a beautiful mover - is really light on his feet. Not sure why, but I think he'll be a very good player. Am I basing this just on his running? Not sure. I'll just call it "the vibe".

...

2015 will see more frustration. I think we will starting beating sides, not just winning. We will still lament the games that we could've won but didn't due to silly mistakes. I think 2015 will set us up for a reasonable crack at finals in 2016.

Posted this after one of the Maroochydore preseason training sessions - pretty satisfied with my "vibe" at present with regards to young Nibbler.

Thought I'd include the last line of my training report from the same day.

If you want this week's lotto numbers, just ask.

Not a bad effort Billy!

I can see a bit of that now you mention it.

[Coup Cooper 610]

A poor mans spelling of Puopolo one would assume..

You can both get jeffed.. Puopolo. Clasic Demonland attacking posters not talking about the subject..

Puopolo's- reffering to him being of similar "ilk" is that better?

[3Dee 1,153]

reminds me of Didak around goal

[rpfc 28,250]

Who the heck is Pulopulos?

Sister city to Gotham apparently...

Dead right, Coup, "ilk" is another word people blatantly misuse to sound stylish.

Or so methinks.

Hope the similarity doesn't extend to off field!

[Bluey's Dad 3,419]

I'm pretty sure Gotham's sister city is Bludhaven (before it was destroyed).

Sorry, inner nerd got the best of me.

Wouldn't of thought so..

[Gator 17,265]

Wouldn't of thought so..

I'd say "have", but I think I'll leave it alone.

[dees189227 12,369]

That mark he took was a beautiful courageous one and a few minutes later he kicked that magnificent goal.

[Adzman 2,154]

Think he will be a permanent fixture in the best 22 next year. Has moved ahead of our fringe players already.

His upside is promising.

[KingDingAling 3,752]

Still reminds me of a young Luke Parker.
