I’m starting to feel positive overall for the first time in ages.
Smith a huge get, for culture leadership and professional management. He’s already saying the right things. We’ve got another 3 years in our window, next 6 months super important- game on.
well done to Brad Green; so good so far.
As well as dominating junior basketball and footy Murph was always the leading top few in cross country as a kid. He’s got some running power, but not sprinting - more like a Robert Harvey or Pendles type.
I was informed by my business partner (who lives in Geelong but follows Magpies) last Wednesday; via his good mate (who works for GFC) that we informed Clayton either day of or after the Brownlow that he should look for another club.
He was surprised by this; and his manager started the ring around.
Hadn’t said anything as was second hand; but it’s feeling more and more real by the hour.
Exactly how he controlled games in U13; 14; 15; 16 for South Melbourne. Could play like a NFL quarterback, score when needed, cover back when needed, win contests. Excellent decision making since Auskick.
He’s a fabulous kid; good leader; in the Robert Harvey mould at junior level - rarely tackled. He was a regular 30-35 touches and 2-3 goals a game at U16 SMJFL.
Reid and Retchsko at school together. Get em both. Patty has been a state 100m runner so brings good speed.
Murph is elite time and space, aka Robert Harvey, rarely tackled in under age footy. Gun.
I think thought was 12 was high for him. But he’s rising. Only meeting not done is Tigers and he’s a mad Tigers fan, but Yze watches every game of school footy as Noah in same team.
He’s met 17 clubs; been told by one if they have pick 12 they’ll take him.
great kid, having a fabulous year, would be a great get for us. Elite “time” a bit Pendlebury like
