    The article is incorrect in one aspect. He was born on 20 December, 2000 according to the club’s pen pictures which makes him 20 years old - not 22.

    Is this numerologically propitious WJ? JJ’s debut is also slated for the 20th!

    With the seaside idyll of the post-practice match recovery session in full swing and the boys attired in down the beach mufti. As self-appointed resident fashionistas on DL, a few observations may be in order.

    Feed the  Christians to the lions (bullies) look is definitely popular given the squad was taken to the sword yesterday afternoon at Marvel Colosseum.

    Not surprisingly that the two Christians, Petracca and Salem are leading the trend as sandal wearers but Gus, Austin Bradtke and James Harmes are amongst a solid representation of dedicated followers of fashion too.

    Special mentions to Jack Viney for his retro-homage Johnny Weissmuller look, speedos are making a comeback.

    And Tmac for having nailed the Brooks Brothers 'trackie dacs' style meister award .

    I do have vague memories of his first game - he always seemed to lift when G Lyon was up and about - literally that game against Richmond when he climbed on his back to take MOTY (I think)

    That was a magnificent magic moment... , consider myself fortunate to be there and witness it. Tigers were literally stopped in their tracks, their aspirations of making the finals that year, evaporated at that instant. Back to the wilderness, they seemed perpetually obliged to inhabit back then. Of course Garry was the go to step-ladder guy for others including Sean Smith up in Brisvegas!

    In the D land of make believe looks like a classic "smokey".

    According to the online Dictionary of Australian Slang there are two possible interpretations.

    Smokey

    1. marijuana dried and prepared for smoking;
    2. horse (substitute player) whose form has been kept secret; rort horse

    Of course 'punters' can make there own choices; but it appears that Chocco in the Harry Strang role has masterminded the late switch here.

    ps. Kye will indubitably appreciate the billiard like surface of Casey Fields comparative to the Montmorency minefield of past performances. But he may need to select cruise control and set the alarm clock for the long limo journey from the outer northern 'burbs to the far southeastern commuter belt.

    I watched the replay of all 3 thirds again and Kobe's work ethic was pretty good
    His disposal was a bit average on a couple of occasions but he was certainly not lacking in willingness to get physical
    There was one passage of play where he tapped the ball ahead of himself through traffic and had he not run into a stationary Bailey Laurie he was a good chance of creating a goal from nothing - have to say it did remind me of the great Wizard

    Our list managers are far better placed to determine if he deserves a list spot but in terms of a first hit out in a level which is above anything he has been in before I think his effort was pretty good

    Some here may recall his Dad's debut game at the 'G' as being distinctly inauspicious as memory serves us. Do recall the rather 'comical' goal square incident, involving a very junior and anxious Wiz hand balling into the back of an unaware Garry Lyon in the goal square. After the officiating umpire had stopped play. He was allowed to take his kick so averted the ignominy of opponent supporters' mirth.

    Tim Lamb's assessment of Kobe's abilities during his interview on the live telecast was pretty spot on, his defensive game was basically sound but he has much work to do on his offensive game. His performance in the seconds practice game reflected that, as noted by some of DL's more prescient observers.

    This may be wishful thinking through RCG's, but there is something reminiscent in Kobe's on field actions that resemble the early tentative steps of his father. Whether that Farmer 'mystique' gets further opportunity and be allowed to establish and grow is at this stage in the laps of the footy gods.

    POSTGAME: Practice Match vs Richmond

    DL administrators obviously using the opportunity for some 'practice' too! Game day thread closed just like Joseph-Ignace Guillotin designed.

    Second half was encouraging, especially the forward fifty entries which were much more cohesive and better executed. Midfield and defence also appeared to 'click'.
