He was class at the Eagles early last year and when they won the flag. HUGE inclusion, the class we lack with SPP and Fanta injured
Your saltiness is a little childish. We all knew that he can play. That was never in doubt, His checkered history though, meant that you were always going to lose him for less than his potential worth.
We have lost our share of Vic players on the cheap. It's just the way it is!
Like a lot from today.Getting a few marks up ground.Opening up the fwd line.Crummers goal after a Dixon contested pack marking contest.
Think he likes the bright lights and big moments.He will be up for the Collingwood game.

We paid a 2nd+3rd for Fantasia and he had a great first year. Hasn't done anything since. North were crowing a year into the Polec/Pittard trade. We've had a nasty habit of paying full price for someone who has something hanging over their head where we get basically no upside and if the knock on them crops up, we're behind. I'll admit he surprised today, but to pretend he is a guarantee of getting fit, staying fit, and playing consistent football, and we should price him as someone who will do that is nonsense. You got unlucky. He wanted to leave when his value was at its lowest. We've had it before with Impey. We might have had it if Bergman wanted out last year. If you somehow convince Georgiades to leave Port and he doesn't put up a big year, you'll be offering a trade based on current form, not early promise, not potential upside.
He's just such a natural, genuine forward. Doesn't overthink things. Pure goal sense.
If so many other things hadn't happened last night his game would be all we would be talking about.

He was great fun to watch yesterday. His football goal sense, lightning quick hands, chasing and tackling were gold. Hope he brings that sort of footy every week.

I love this guy. If JHF hadn't played the game he played today we would be skiting from the roof tops about his game today. This was a very good get for our squad.

Because of JHF, this guy is going to fly so massively under the radar.

Where's that bloke that took a frame from a preseason video to make a point that he was overweight and didn't give a shit about football?
One thing I noticed about Junior was that on 2 occasions he intercepted an oppo handpass and just ran off with it.
Like a basketball intercept.
He has crazy game smarts.

Yep I agree with you there ... I called them out on it at the time. If he could get his headspace right, he was always going to be a great pickup. Very happy indeed to have him, you sense he is going to only get better too.Haha you gotta admit tho some of the calls on this board were a bit ridiculous some were saying he wouldn’t even make your best 22, he’s a bloody gun and you are gonna have a lot of fun watching him enjoy

Not bad for a fatty.
He’s a ripper
Lol **** off.
Your lot wanted a 2nd rounder for a bloke with 2 strikes and a lifetime ban hanging over his head and got called out for the idiots you were.
wasn’t there crazy calls being repeated like that he was a top 50 player in the afl?
He’s a cream on the top player we threw a lifeline to, and if he keeps on the straight and narrow (which he seems keen to do) he might see out some more good games with us.
In the end you didn’t get your 2nd rounder or whatever you wanted and instead he got thrown into the jhf trade as a freebie.
You’re not the one who should be laughing here.
Why would I be laughing? We lost a gun player for nothing just stating the fact that a lot of people on this board were whinging and whining and saying he wouldn’t get a game And wasn’t worth anything in return.

He definitely shone on Saturday, looked every bit like a trade steal for Port, but ... it's still only one game.
