That was Joel Smith's goal.

Our defense is a shambles.

His teammate number 32 wasn't in any rush to help out... ??

Lok is in his 2nd year of VFL footy, won the development league medal (brownlow equivalent) and has shown some real potential in some of the games I've seen him play. 189cm 88kg brute half forward with speed and a booming kick! One to watch this year. Get a load of this bloke.. can't have a constructive discussion about any player without this plonk wanting to shoot you down without adding any valuable discussion on the actual topic.

I thought little Wagner was very impressive as an outside mid.

Something about him today.. touch of class? We forget he was also a gun midfielder in his under 18s days.

Weideman is a real worry.. barely touched it. Hes st an age now where he should be dominating VFL level now.

Mitch King will be delisted end of the year. Fillapovic impresses me more!

Jeez Goy Lok impresses me! I wouldn't complain if we gave him a rookie list spot. Huge upside.

No Tim Smith?

Watts looks very lackluster..

Jeffy Garlett will potentially be the other in, hannan we in for scans and is in doubt.

Casey will be a bloody good side once Vanders and Kent come back.

Oh how the saints must be feeling.. not only did they miss out on Petracca, but they miss out on Gus! Who potentially could be better then Trac!

Wait till he gets the tank to play midfield.. absolutely dominated in jnr level.

Give him a 208378 year contract. Unbelievable talent..

Oh a WERRIDEE team line up thread...

Ordinary tackler? What game were you watching? The last 2 weeks hes laid some really bone jarring tackles in the middle and around the ground. Ordinary? So far from it..

Or he was probably feeling the effects of a 5 day turn around and that we forget that he's still only 20 years old....

The Fillopovic reason is truly bizarre.. rest him for 2 works of not playing on the assumption that hes on a low base? Yet hes had a full pre season??

For this year he'll most likely spend it all up forward. Next year I see him playing a forward midfield burst in the same vein as Caleb Daniel. His junior years were spent in the midfield and he was absolutely dominant back then.

Absolutely stoked about this! I feel he is one that'll play better and more suited to the more quicker tempo of AFL rather then the VFL.. And just quickly, I've had a bit to do with young "Spargs" and I posted this back early January this year. Gday guys, on one of the training thread there's been a few doubts on young Charlie about his size and whether he can translate his ability to AFL level. Thought I'd bring this thread up and have my 2 cents worth. Just on Spargo, I had a bit to do with him when he was in the under 16s bushies . I didn't bother to write anything up on him when we drafted him (lack of interest in demonland at the time) but I thought I'd post my thought a on him now. Goody is going to fall in love coaching this young fella, he is 18 years old going onto 25 in terms of maturity and level headed. He was driven right from the very young age to succeed in footy and make AFL. He started playing senior footy for Albury in the strong Ovens and Murray league (step below VFL) at 16 and was still running rings around former AFL players with such ease. It was tipped right from then that this kid could potentially be the next big thing despite his size. He was quick, tough as F**k, and most importantly, driven and determined to make it. Despite being a quiet and down to earth sort of fella, he just oozes leadership on field! We played a praccy match against Bendigo once and he was captain for the day. The whole day he was barking orders, setting up midfield stoppages, encouraging teammtes, and giving direct feedback to coaching and senior officials on what was going right and wrong. He'll be in the leadership group in a couple of years. Mark my words. Obviously being in boarding school this year I barely got time to see any of his games (injured also). But we got word back from some recruiters that if it wasn't for injury he would be top 10 without a doubt. 3 clubs had even made mentioned that if he was just a smidge taller and injury free, they had penciled him for top 5. Every club rated him and the giants were absolutely filthy when they lost first rights to him. He is a genuine talent. If I was to compare him to someone in terms of toughness, leadership and skill? it would be Joel Selwood. He has everything that you need in terms of the culture you're trying to build and set. Yes I've pumped up his tyres, but the biggest test for him will be the transition to AFL level. The likes of Caleb Daniel and Eddie Betts have shown that it is possible if you've got the ticker and drive to succeed. I believe young Spargo has this. The likes of Jones, Viney, Oliver and Lewis will crave having this kid in the side running full tilt into packs and come out ball in hand. I don't want to put too much pressure on the kid but in my honest opinion, he is an absolute beauty! Hope that helps.

What??

Would it actually hurt to play him in his natural position.

Yeah sure why not? Why would they attack me but? For being a self centered [censored] like Saty?
