Wait until you see the guys who can do it for 2 hours, that will knock your socks off.

If you ever cycle to work and cover around 21km in an hour, it's scary to realise you are only travelling at marathon world record pace.

Re: Sharp - My Brisbane supporting mate said the following;

I think he’s an AFL standard player who is probably 23rd-28th in line for a spot in our line up.  Lions rate him massively, best runner at the club.  Think you’re getting a good one tbh.  Sharp played a handful of games and was emergency for just about every other one in the last 2-3 years. Consistently just about our best VFL player.  Just victim of our list. He’s a winger for sure, but can play inside. Surprisingly tough. Query is on his kicking but it isn’t terrible.

 

Traits similar to Langdon. Hope he spends the summer mentoring him

No AFL highlights on the MFC forum for Sharp but there’s a dodgy clip of one of his AFL goals on YouTube.

edit - tried to post on this thread but no luck

I did 100m in 9.58s in my Datsun yesterday and it terrified the beejesus out of me

Obviously wasn't a 180B unless you change that 9.58s to 9.58m

Highlights 

 

No problems in highlights! Can mark, has flair and seems a good kick (despite what they say! Despite highlights only showing the good side, I am happy with the trade. 👍

120Y perhaps 🤔

Not high enough and too far away from opposition interceptors for my liking.

Not easily satisfied. Looks fast enough for you I hope.

Are we starting a grid iron team?

Caleb best in the centre to have forward impact at its highest point. Will be a revelation in this role and 20 goals could be the reward also.

Geelong have done very well with Holmes at half back just sprinting to space, it’s a valid use of speed to break forward presses and zones.

But I’d rather get form and fitness in to the 2 you named and Juddy. Maybe Howes and AMW too.

Speed from the stoppage is the dream, might be a couple of years before Caleb has the body for that though. I like trialling some of the half forward option to begin with and breaking zones open there.

Either way I hope there’s more than the wing for him. The wing is a great start but it means he’s getting the ball on the boundary half the time and there’s only so much value to that. 

He is a centre man star in the waiting think Swan Warner! 

Langdon Windsor Sharp

Speed     Speed.    Speed 

and connectivity to forward line.

If he fills Hunter's spot, that's a fail. Hunter was disinterested this year.

I think he has more upside than ANB, who was inconsistent from year to year.

Not his last 5 years from the Flag on. 

Highlights seem to suggest there might be a handy contributor in there. Has the signature attacking mindset of the Brisbane side.

As an 19yr old I had a Datsun 1200 coupe that my brother in law had done up, that thing was so light and it flew. Loved it.

Except the talk is playing him high half forward

Sorry was talking about The Duke That’s why I included a potential centreline.

Shouldn’t have switched  players in a topic, but I understand Sharp could well be a high half forward ostensibly replacing ANB. 

Who will play on the other wing then?

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
