Skills of Robbie quite possibly, but does he have the same red and blue heart?

I guess we will see.

that goal against the pear was a stunner

i fully expect he'll be able to rotate thru centre square attendances as he gets stronger - he appears to be an excellent reader of the play and instinctively knows where to move in contested situations to win the loose ball

that burst speed around stoppages is very reminiscent of judd in his meth coke days

He had a good debut season and looks to have genuine potential. He will have some ups and downs in his second season. Don't be too harsh on him when he has a few down games in 2025, its all part of the learning process.

And what sort of downs are you predicting ? Only a 15 a game possession count and no goal? Hope the down/s you predict are not an injury! 

On the contrary I would like to see him moved to be our centre man in 2025. Imagine how dangerous he would be running straight down the ground He would have the whole forward line to decide who to pass to or kick a goal himself.

Reckon he would be a 20/25 possession winner and also perhaps around 15/20 goals for the season. 

Would straighten us up no doubt. He is a no fuss player and I believe he could handle this move of his development even at such an early stage of his career. 

Nor sure who could play on the wing opposite Lingers. Bowey AMW Salem ? Leave it up to the two new Coaches and Goody. 

is it just me, or is there a lot of physical and style similarities between Caleb Windsor and Robbie Flower?  running style, kicking style ...

Not just you. He's looks like building into a great player.

We seem to have given away a lot of draft options to help GCS get their full share of Academy players, I feel we got slim pickings in return.!!

History has proven this to be totally correct.

Just the normal ups and downs any young, inexperienced footballer has. Takes time and some experience to build consistency.

Absolute 'GULP', what a great highlights reel. He looked happy at the Dees, too. He has an enormous role to play in the future. Pace, silky skills, confidence, quick thoughts (and good ones), with just enough mongrel to take phenomenal intercepts and embarrass big name opponents.  

Not spooked by big moments, and all the tools to be a top liner. Exciting

Great recognition last night as well he spoke well and looked very comfortable sitting and chatting with Ed Langdon and the Co-Host. We have another beauty here in Caleb.

Yes I think there is a resemblance of some sort. It is hard to exactly pinpoint but both look effortless and move atop of the ground and have similar kicking skills on both sides of their feet.

I think he is a little further ahead in his first year than your Bluebagger flushed eyes have judged. Consistency is one if his form lines already.

You may be surprised but I hope he moves into the centre position this year to maximise his skills and elite disposal plus his potential to kick vital goals in general play.

Surely there is a need to go through each trade swap to see if this sweeping statement is true. 
Anyone have the info to test this comment? The mere fact that our swaps have also enabled us to improve  our draft picks positions while they picked up their GC Academy boys does not necessarily mean a loss vs them in value.

He had a few average outings later in the season (no criticisms, to be expected for a youngster). It is not uncommon for 2nd year players to dip a bit as well mind you (before iproving again). We will see next season.

No, someone has to buy a Demons membership after the great microwave membership massacre of October 2024 😁

There’s enough of us without some snivelling Blues fan hovering around in our neck of the woods.

@No. 31 is often a sensible and interesting poster, and more emotionally balanced than some supporters!

Thank you DeelightfulPlay, I hope that I am a sensible counterpoint here at times ...

You might be welcome if you ceased talking about Carlton.  This is a Melbourne forum.  Stop trolling or FRO.

I don't really get why a Carlton supporter would choose to spend their days hanging around a Melbourne forum. Very odd behaviour tbh.

What was wrong with what @No. 31said?

Solid first year, the odd down game here and there which was to be expected but tracking in the right direction.

If any of us said it no-one would have said boo.
