It's also great that at 24, he has a man's body. He looks a polished footballer. As someone else noted, Hoskin-Elliott must now be under pressure to hold his spot. |

He looks a ripper and Im always drawn to the natural footballer. Loved the way he moved, he appeared to have great balance for a tallish fella. His hands look soft and sure and his disposal by foot looked silky from what Ive seen.
Does anyone know of his tank and if he is a hard trainer or not?? _________________ Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero. |

What a debut! I wasn't really believing the hype having not seen him live, but that was very impressive indeed; don't think you could drop him for Henry after that... _________________ "You hate a mean man, a grasping man, a man who wants everything and gives nothing.

He looked really good. He seemed to be around the ball a lot, unlike Henry who I often seem to go a quarter without even seeing. _________________ "We ain't gotta dream no more" |

Very nice start for Mr Natural. Looks like he belongs at this level also.
Exciting potential. |

Good debut, like the look of him.
We suddenly have genuine forward line options, more so once Kreuger is fit.
I still like Henry, think he has some Fritsch or Gunston about him, but it's going to be a balancing act. Nice problem to have. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

From what I saw last weekend, I’m tipping this guy will be our wildcard leading into and during finals. Played like a veteran. Had a style of play so synonymous with indigenous players. Gonna be a hard match-up for opposition teams. _________________ 'Collingwood are the Bradmans of Football'

'Magic' Johnson can indeed become a genuine wildcard for us, but he will need to play well each week to hold his spot, as we now have several forward types contending for spots. I can't see Henry missing for long, so Ginnivan's spot may be vulnerable, particularly if he has trouble adjusting to the new head-high tackle interpretation. |

Consistency is going to be key for few players including Ash if they want to retain a spot in the team.
One thing in his favour is that he is just starting his journey with plenty of room to develope, so expect we will see more of him next season _________________ If you are foolish enough to be contented, don't show it, but just grumble with the rest. - Jerome K Jerome |

Some players have great feet, no so much in kicking parlance but the way they move "so light on their feet". Players like Kosi Pickett, Hayward from Swans, Jade Gresham along with Johnson have this fleet of foot movement that is so great to watch. _________________ I love the Pies, hate Carlscum |

Cheers. Good on him. Nothing better than job security for a player around the “ fringe”. Reckon this will encourage him even further. |

We won't get belted over the ball for a half like that too often, even if stoppages are a weakness. But when we were moving the ball well and he had some space, he read the ball and kicked beautifully. How's the timing finding another dangerous forward heading towards September, with Henry still up our sleeve? _________________ In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.
