I'm interested to see where he fits in the scheme of things. Is he a Jonesy replacement with a couple of years to develop? Or do they see him fitting in earlier than that, and at who's expense?

One to keep an eye on

And now we have some teammates who’s brains he really can pick. Teammates who really have been there done that, teammates who really believe in themselves and teammates who realise that with hard work and dedication, the prize may not be too far away. 

A culture that is still building but one that Sparrow and the other “kids” will embrace as natural. A big, big turnaround from 8  - 10 years ago. I know we all thank Paul Roos but I want to thank Daniel Cross for importing a professionalism of dedication and training that shocked many at the club into changing their ways (or getting out)! How much talent was waisted a decade ago by ineptitude, amateurism, and pure stupidity,  a bloody lot IMHO.

He fits at Casey learning his craft and hopefully he is good enough to play 100+ games for the club.  Our midfield depth isn't that great outside the regular AFL players, we need the next group of midfielders developing at Casey and hopefully pushing for selection mid to late in the year.  Whose spot they take is irrelevant at this stage

Hopefully he's racking up 30+ possessions at Casey and pushing for selection.

This is what ANB did consistently to make his case.

Squawker © is going to be a hell of a player.

Exactly and not follow the senior players down Bridge road, Chapel st venues and the polo events. 

Wasted by [censored] drinking and other activities, “allegedly”. 

Swallowed up by the system as spat out

I'm not sure the club has become a chapter of the temperance society per se, but it's more a case of 'there's a time and a place'.

Maxy and Bernie have both been known to enjoy a beer. However, it's usually in moderation and not at places like the 'G on Boxing Day (while making a giant beer snake) or with bikies at pool parties in Vegas.

He’s an Adelaide Hills boy, there made of the tough stuff. He will be fine.

About as tough as a blow wave in a wind tunnel.

Looking at him at training today and on Monday, he'll be fine. Keep chipping away at it.
