[The Dr]

I wonder if he could play the Tom Mac role?

Could do a Thomas MacDonnalldd type gig

Joel Smith's mark at 2:50

Joel Smith's mark at 2:50

And the kick inside 50 that was marked by a melb jumper...

Joel Smith might be the missing link

When you watch us get ripped apart by a 4-game player last week it really does look insanely cautious to have been playing Melksham as a forward opposed to key tall defenders instead of giving a kid who might actually take a couple of grabs and kick goals a go.

Attack is the best form of defense assholes.

Bumping this thread on teams day should be a bannable offense.

Ill make sure to do this every Thursday for the rest of the year

Not saying his development will go the same way but a lot of his marks and goals look like Weid’s highlights at VFL where he loses dumb defenders and out stretches them for marks.

Some good goals in amongst them though so looking promising, looks too good for VFL already, albeit in a strong side.

Amazed how easy it looks at VFL. The kicks he marked were from Joel Smith, Jimmy Munro and the ruckman - hardly elite kicks, but all put it to space/his advantage and moved it quickly.
Get the Casey coach in the box for a week to show campaigner* how to move the footy

Doubt it.

Also, don't call him Shirley.

Yeah, dont think we see him till next yar now, should take Weid's spot I reckon.

 

[CWaffles]

Is he in yet?

Nope.

His body looks small to me, from the Casey games. Smaller than Weides.

I think it makes sense to protect him, at this early stage of is career.

I can’t wait until he turns out to be some kind of Lucas Cook/Weideman hybrid.

Throw some Liam Hullett in and i'll listen

But seriously from what I've seen of him down at Casey as a 1st year KPP I think he's got 'it'

Plays with presence, great all round footballer, can kick goals in a number of ways, smart and physically imposing is always a great combo for a key forward.

Would be interesting to see him play in a struggling team that isn't winning by loads each week, but it is what it is.

Reckon he plays games next year and competes really well too

Sprinkle of Tim Smith for good measure
