Agree with many here - his physicality is impressive, can clunk a mark, and, I thought, accounted for himself well in secondary ruck duties. He also has the ability to win and quickly feed out the ball out ground level. Not sure where he fits, but hope he earns a chance to show what he has at AFL senior level.

Wonder if Ned Guy is any relation to Gary Guy, who played 20 odd games for the Dees in the mid 70s? Or Eric Guy - St Kilda champion of the late 50s, early 60s?

Don't see why it makes no sense DIAK - I prefer to think they are not leaking about candidates, tight ship and all that.

Made my day!!! Could be a bit of McGovern type as he matures?

Thanks to those who noted AJ in their posts.

Would appreciate any observations about how AJ is performing - rarely mentioned so far, but I see he ran well in the Shuttle. Understandably not a point of conversation here given the pecking order, but curious how he is going amongst the new forward (?) bunch.

Spot on DIAK - well said. Mick has being doing the grind from the Surf Coast for 10 years - he deserves a gig closer to home and family. Owes us nothing...our program owes him a great deal.

With Zanker out of contract, it seems to me the Club would not have had a lot of leverage - I think they did well to get what they did.

Echoing the thanks of others for the reports and observations - thanks all.

How smart is this move? Like how we are moving forward.

Great report WDW - thank you!

Thrilled to hear this one - and to think we nearly lost her last year. With what is shaping up as the likely exit of Zanker, Tayla becomes even more important.

Thanks for the get our Rjay. Don't seem to be able to edit my post either...

Ha ha go me there! Must stop typing without my glasses!

Gee - can't believe the nitpickers and pendants on here taking pot shots at our media people, and even our ex media people. Really? Nothing better to do in the off season??
