The highlight for me was the handpass to vandenBerg right at the end, timed it to perfection.

Yes that was the highlight for me on the day also Clint. I remember commenting to bro about that at the time, that slight delay of handball allowing Vanders to run on a little and gain space whilst also drawing/halting players around him for a split second was the sign of a mature player beyond the years of Clarry. Only the first game but looking good.  Fingers crossed and touching wood as i type.

Spot on, I was exactly the same.

As someone whose pet peeve (besides bad goalkicking) is handballing behind a running player, that handball was especially sexy.

In the dark days we would miss that handpass by 2 metres and the opposition would take it down and kick a goal.

So yes Clint, when I saw that I did not take it for granted despite how basic it seems.

Great debut and looks like he'll be a great player.  Staggering that a talent like that was almost missed!

And gee can he handball!

There was one i think in the last but could be wrong (the second perhaps) that showed both vision and smarts.

He collected the pill in traffic, in the center corridor, held it for just a brief second and gave a long handball to a player in space streaming through the middle.

What was really impressive was that he deliberately put it in front of the player, who not only did not have to break stride, even had to stretch for it. It was almost as if he was directing the receiver where to run to. 

Vision, smarts and technical skill equals a good package. 

Yep saw that, and immediately thought, that's the exact opposite to how we've been playing football for 5 years. Feet, head, behind, over, under. Nope, this was to advantage, didn't have to break stride. A couple of terms I'd like to see a lot more of. Was beautiful.

What a ripper kid!  That interview was like a 'breath of fresh air' in today's football world .... as honest as they come, and not a cliche to be heard.

Thats a belter of a interview! Honest and straight forward with no BS.

Talking to few bushie officials over the journey and one thing they said about him was his happy character and dry sense of humour.

Type of kid you want around your club.

Btw its great to hear Nev Jetta take a big mentoring role on the kid. Its what leadership is all about and just confirms why Jetta is such an important member of our football club.

    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.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    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.
