[Nascent 9,216]

Ollie hannaford putting on an absolute clinic. Kids got something special I reckon.

just looked at the play hq and all it shows tairon ah-mu with a goal in q1 as the stingrays tear the power apart

[Adam The God 30,261]

Ma-lady. *tips hat*

[Heart Beats True 1,234]

The umpiring in the game is putrid. If the Dragons defenders touch a player in the defensive 50 it is an automatic free kick.

Don't mind the look of Andrews.

Did you notice who had two goals in the first quarter? My mate Hynes. 😘

[ChaserJ 5,096]

Wouldn’t want to get pinned by an Ah-Mu tackle…

Got a decent game here. Tauru looking really, really good overhead.

[Adam The God 30,261]

Good goal from Ah-Mu. 3 for him now and 3 for Hynes.

app has ah-mu as the leading goalkicker with 3 for stingrays in a 6 point win, and hynes 2 goals 2

langford another dominant game i presume, judging from the stats?

I couldn't watch it today. Can you both give a quick run down how the NGA players went?

Interesting. I missed the first quarter where it said Hynes had 2. He then kicked the first goal of the last quarter. Since I didn't see the first quarter, I can't confirm.

Riak did quite well 1v1, his defensive positioning is still a little rusty, but he's clean at ground level and a neat kick. He was solid.

Ah-Mu is just a big boy, but I like his tackling intent, he's a good mark and he's a good kick. Kicked a ripper that ended up being the winning goal. I do worry about his pace at AFL level, but maybe he's not much slower than a McLean from Sydney.

The way he judges the ball in the air and leaps is pretty rare for a young tall.

Yeah I did say a while back Ah-Mu would need to strip a lot of puppy fat once he gets into the AFL system.

Thanks for the update mate.

@ChaserJ is there a website or resource that shows who is part of our NGA? I haven't been able to find anything doing a search online.

Duursma was best on ground for mine. By quite a way.

Couldn’t add much more to what Adam’s said, but Mentha was pretty quiet and one of our other future NGA kids, Prasad kicked a goal for Dandy but was quiet outside of that.

Riak matched up on Tauru for a lot of the 2nd half (including ruck contests inside Gippsland 50), and it was a fun watch. At times they were playing kick to kick with each other though (I’ll blame the wind).

He should go high next year.

Mentha copped a knee injury in the first quarter and pretty sure didn't return to the game after that unless I'm mistaken.

Ah, I didn't realise he was an underager, but that makes sense given there's no talk about him in the 2024 crop. Derps. 🤦

Moves a lot like his bro last year. Classy, clean, makes good decisions. Surely will be top 10 next year, unless it's the greatest class of all time or something happens injury wise.

Sorry mate, haven’t been able to find anything that’s centralised that info either.

Damn, must have happened before I rocked up.

ACL bad or more of a knock?

Slowly hobbled off without assistance but escorted by a trainer nearby. Didn't see the incident itself unfortunately so not sure on what mechanism caused it. Near the end of the first quarter from memory if it's available on replay. From the way he was walking I would be surprised if it's serious but stranger innocuous things have happened.

Mentha play half back?

The flying Viking?

Could you imagine a Dees v Hawks game - a crowd full of Viking and Wizard hats!
