Undeeterred

Just saw the replay of that one hander. What a freakin' superstar this kid will be. Worth all the hype and more.

Wouldn't trade him for anyone, or really any combination of picks. Definitely not Fyfe. He's a bona fide star and the first we've had in a very long time.

Nope - that last one from the boundary line in the wet was a stunner.

Yet still leads the league in contested grabs.

He's just desperate to lead as well, which is fantastic for such a young bloke. Loves responsibility.

Was that the one we were up by about 45 points and beat them by 3 or something?

I know it is the deal, I'm not an idiot. But the 'deal' is just a construct, you can make a sport and a league work any way you want to. The last sentence is just your opinion. You might notice the EPL has pretty strong rights of ownership over players too. The only real difference is end of contract and I see no reason why players should be stopped from moving to the club of their choice, within some broad restrictions like not in the first couple of years, for example. That's just my opinion!

In fact, what would be much better is to do what most other world sports do and give the players the freedom to move when they want to, within very broad parameters. The idea of 'owning' the rights to players and therefore holding them hostage is ludicrous. The idea of my employer being able to direct which competitor I can and can't work for is just laughable and I'm yet to hear a good reason why footballers should be any different.

Geez Collingwood are turds. They're perfectly willing to pillage our player who wants out for personal reasons when it suits, but when their own player wants out, they tell him basically to get stuffed and tell Brisbane he is worth more than a pick 4. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/collingwoods-beams-in-bid-to-go-home-20140924-10lkmt.html I hope the karma bus drives straight over the top of the lot of them.

Nup - he's far silkier than Watson.

Well, it is a small picture, short term memory kind of place.

Anybody else aware he's played about 7 games?? How bout we suspend judgement until he's got 20-30 under the belt.

When I saw the title, I thought maybe Neeld had wandered down to Casey and let him have it there too...

Just watched the video again, it almost looked like he lost his footing or something. Being charitable
