Rocknroll 1,010 Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 Super keen to see this kid play at this level. Hope he brings his competitive spirit, air or land. Good to see the number 2 back on the ground Hopefully I hear "go number 2" from someone in the members 5 Quote

Timothy Reddan-A'Blew 5,690 Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 ...And just a thought: if he takes as many marks as we hope he will, particularly one-touch ones... 'Clunk'? 1 Quote
Demon_spurs 1,984 Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 So who presents his jumper? Jonesy ? Stinger ? Steven Armstrong ? Possibly one of Robbie's family ? 2 Quote

La Dee-vina Comedia 17,137 Posted March 31, 2023 Posted March 31, 2023 Major League Baseball in the US now gives players a special patch to add to their uniform when they debut. It's all about the collectibles market. I expect the AFL will eventually follow suit. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-30/mlb-rookies-to-wear-debut-patches-bound-for-collectibles-market?utm_campaign=socialflow-organic&utm_source=twitter&cmpid=socialflow-twitter-business&utm_medium=social&utm_content=business#xj4y7vzkg 1 Quote

The glimpses I saw of him in the Casey game were very promising…looks a pure big forward Agree TSD MJ will be the star FF I reckon Rooey will play all over the forward line and on the ball for short spells and kick plenty to ensure he gets us over the line in the future. Add maybe Sestan in 12 mths with his goalkicking and skilled forward work plus Kossie hopefully. Sounds very dangerous for goalkicking goals!!! 2 Quote

You can only do your best and be promoted. It's great for the fans to get excited and he will know he has support from them. They will thank goodness be more positive than you and be parting the excitement. Oh sorry AFL isn't to get excited about one must be solemn in case he under performs. 1 Quote

Sometimes people deliberately mispronounce their name because they get tired of correcting people so they just adopt the mispronunciation. I have family members and work colleagues who do that. 1 Quote

He'll be right in the thick of it! Big test. Inside info ? Brain fade ? Or just guessing? Tmac should be before dropped placed in defence and HP given a few games up forward to take the pressure off himself end free him up. JVR is the ideal 2nd ruck spot sharing about 25/33% with Brody and resting up forward. His performance last week at Casey was very strong ( BTW Dee Spencer your stats from last week were incorrect) From 11 marks and 19 disposals he deserves finally to debut in the team and be let loose using his marking and competitive skills to our advantage. If he kicks some goals as well they will be a bonus at this stage. Never spoil the truth with your opinion Dee to try and make a good story. Or something like that. Wonder how good JVR will be in 2 years? 1 Quote
