Thanks for your reports guys!
From what I've been reading about Barham he sounds like he has pace & that is a great thing in footy. Hasn't played many games yet so I think he still probably has a bit to work on with his skills etc. but that should come soon enough.
Probably won't get a game this season but I look forward to seeing him in the seniors next year (or the year after, depending). He's one of the players that I'm just itching to get a game, not sure why, he just seems like a player that has a lot of potential. My Dad liked his Dad as a footy player & likes the looks of Jaxson aswell, so do I.

Egan kicked three and was named in the best.
He won't be going anywhere

I've watched Barham in a few games and liked what ive seen. The thing that stands out the most about him is his aggressiveness.
Daicos, this is when he's at his best, the MAAASSSTTTTTEEERRR!!!

For a guy of Egan's body shape, is it fair to say him squibbing is more of a defence mechanism. He's not a solid guy at all.

Daniel Motlop shows signs of laziness, any time Port bring out of the arc he looks the same as Egan.

and suffered chronic arthritis throughout his youth.
I think he should pull his socks up, his legs are not very intimidating
He won't be going anywhere

Egan has a bigger frame than Dale Thomas.
Thomas is playing in a competition (AFL) with bigger bodies than Egan.
Yet not once has Thomas 'squibbed it' in his career. It is not the body size that counts, it is the heart, the courage. Egan doesn't have it.

Fair call. Thomas also has much better awareness. I think egan is unsure what could happen and doesn't like the thought of it.
