It was a very nice debut. But let’s face it. It’s far easier to kick goals in the dogs forward line. From memory reports were dogs and port would have taken Kozzy if we didn’t and had him ranked over Weightman. Personally I think Kozzy has more upside with his pace and manic pressure as well as a more physical presence. may end up more a Jamie Elliot type which will be a very good pick. Fingers cross Kozzy becomes Cyril Rioli! 

Cyril v Elliot?

I know who I'd be taking.....

Eagles fans were spewing they took Masten after watching Cale Morton’s first game.

Actually I meant Weightman may end up more of a Jamie Elliott. Probably came across wrong in my post.

I think I made that read Kozzy might end up like Jamie Elliott. Meant Weightman. 

Didn't like the Selwood style lean-to-the-side-and-drop-his-head into op shoulder for a 'high' free.  Umpire fell for it.

Was just making sure he was fulfilling Toby McLean's Role.

Loved what Weightman did last night . . . and it shows that many posters on 'Land were spot on in November last year. Having said that, I'm convinced we got it right with our early picks in 2019 . . . although time will obviously be the better judge of that. 

Small marking forward? 0 tackles, 0 goal assists.

Bruce is now a comical announcer.  He's truly hopeless.  His fawning for Weightman was on full display.

It was a good debut, however, they overlooked his poor kicking - other than his great first goal.  Small forwards can vary greatly and Pickett is more the type we need.

Just on McAvaney.  Try listening to him commentate and count the number of times he asks a question after he makes a statement.  You won't believe how often it happens and nor will you be able to correctly remember the final tally.

Here's a taste of what I'm talking about:

He's truly the pits and you'll never listen to his commentary the same way again.

And he does it EVERY single game.

6 tackles and 3 score involvements vs 0 tackles and running around packs waiting for a lolly?  Kozzie>>>>weightman.  That haircut could only get a run in the Western suburbs

Someone on Demonland pointed this out a few years ago and ever since then I can't stop hearing it.

Drives me bonkers!!

As an aside, I actually don't mind BT so long as there's no "Lloooyd" playing. The pronunciation is insufferable.

Does he?

No. Because he is a completely different player to Weightman.

When I spent time with Spargo at the bushies, he played his best footballer as a midfielder. He was voted best player in the under 16s championships when he was playing as a full time mid then resting up forward.

DD what's your thoughts on Spargo playing a similar role to Caleb Daniel.

Spargo made some very good decisions with ball in hand during 2018

I’m Bruce McAvaneyyyy....????

He should have been retired 5 years ago, He's a festering joke. No idea about the game. And we have no interest in listening to him prattle on about carp.

Well commentated Dennis, I mean WTF even is that?

Thanks Duck, Lingy. He's a fawning sychophant.

I can't stand Bruce. BT is good value, love his roaming BT segment, and even funnier that he did it at Rick Levers wedding.

With BT, only one player has a first name “Orazio Fantasia!”  Everyone else is a surname or a nickname “The Bont!”  Just call the game you bag of [censored].

“Unctuous” is a nice description of his style. Your correct, he really should have retired years ago!

But back to young Weightman:  another product of the Hailebury College football factory! They churn ‘em out down there!

in fairness to bruce he's still a miles better play by play caller than bt, daaaaaaaaaarce, haaaaaaaaaaaame, or braaaaaaaayshaw

bt's ability to make every name sound like it's got about 1000 vowels in it drives me up the wall

He is great, don’t you agree?

Already kicked in one game as many goals as Pickett has for the season. I'll take the guy who kicks goals thanks. 

"We know that". Count how many times he says that in a match.

And he hasn't got close to having the impact on a game that Pickett has in terms of his team play.

I'll take the whole package, thanks.

Err did you miss Pickett's debut game where he kicked 2.2?

Weightman kicked two last night as well.
