Let's hope Stone himself can take the opportunity. Has the talent and seems like he's finally through the body issues.Just one of the "fluff" articles written at this time of year. Still, it's all we've got!
The GWS draftee who's "going to be a good player" following early impression
"The boys have certainly shown their attributes."www.zerohanger.com
Working alongside the team's star-studded backline and against their lively forwards, Stone has gotten a close look at the Giants' pre-season standouts. 12 months ago it was Academy graduate Harvey Thomas who impressed before enjoying a 22-game rookie season, while speedster Darcy Jones also broke through for an AFL debut prior to cementing his place in Kingsley's plans.
This year, hard-nosed half-back Harrison Oliver has emerged as someone who "looks like he's going to be a good player" for GWS, with fellow first-year flanker Cody Angove also catching Stone's eye.
"The one last year that really stood out and it translated to on-field performance was Harvey Thomas. There's a no-fuss attitude about the way he goes about his footy. So that was really impressive. Darcy's obviously got some unbelievable traits," he said. "Then all the draftees are getting eased into it a little bit but they've all showed signs. Harry Oliver, he's another half-back, he looks like he's going to be a good player for us. Cody Angove has had a couple of little highlights as well so far. The boys have certainly shown their attributes and showed that they will fit into the Giants system, so it's a real credit to them so far."
