Heres hoping he can clunk a few and kick a few, but realistically I think after dropping Weideman they’d backed themselves in to a corner with Tim Smith now being injured. Keep eyes on Buxton, too. Ready to go ... Quote

McQueen 17,867 Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 No expectations. But seriously, if he can’t bag 6 on debut he shouldn’t be on the list. 6 Quote
Salems Lot 2,692 Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 Thrilled for all of the Drunkn Family!! 2 1 Quote

These two qualities can only get better, more refined and more appropriately utilised, no doubt, as experience and good development take shape. It is wise to remember that some of the very good - to - sublime markers and aerialists were not talls, did not run miles onfield, and had limited speed. They didn't even have Dec's physical involvement skills, either, yet proved to be dynamic forwards because of good coaching. Two that come to mind: Tony Modra, 188 cm, 93 kg Warwick Capper, even shorter and much lighter 3 hours ago, hemingway said: Russell Robertson Liam Jurrah? Quote

He could run a bit as well - all day. I also think he might have been taller than suspected, over 190 cms but it was well-hidden with his 50kg frame. Overall, yep, monoccular, another forward star outside the physical profiles preferred so often, today. To ram home a point: whaddabout the Wizard, Leigh Matthews, etc., etc. Quote
deebug 1,754 Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 You little Rippa? Congrats young Dec. Now I am looking forward to the match. 2 Quote
DubDee 26,709 Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 There is something special about a debut. Some players just fit in at the top level and there is a chance Dec has a great game and will have a career. Bloody exciting. And Drunkn being open lets us in so we feel like we know him already! Go Dec, smash it!! 1 Quote
Neil Crompton 5,852 Posted May 3, 2019 Posted May 3, 2019 For once we have a debutant that has had a great apprenticeship in the VFL (60 odd games). It’s a pity our other debutantes haven’t had such a good grounding. I wish him every success on Saturday. 2 Quote

Dee-licious 1,954 Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 Congrats to the whole family @Drunkn167 can’t wait to see Dec out there today. 1 Quote
3183 Dee 2,917 Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 I liked Keilty’s game today. I’ve never seen him at VFL, but his ruckwork was sound and he’s pretty mobile for a big guy. Keeps his spot for mine. 4 Quote
dees189227 12,527 Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 Just loved it when he grabbed the ball out of the ruck and ran forward and created a goal. He deserves another game next week. 9 Quote
whatwhat say what 23,880 Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 He competed hard and got a win in his first game - couldn’t ask for anything else really! Congrats to him and the fam @Drunkn167! 2 Quote
Old Bear 388 Posted May 4, 2019 Posted May 4, 2019 I’ve watched him quite a few times at Casey and have always felt he has something different to say Omac or Weideman in that he doesn’t drop his head if things aren’t going his way. Strong pack marks and excellent field kicking to the right position are his strengths at Casey 2 Quote
