Moe

Nothing wrong with growing up in Moe i can assure you.

 

[RightWingRoo]

Where in gippy he grow up?

Played his junior footy at Sale, so assume that's where he's from.

 

[R00StaR]

He aint achieving without the rest of the support cast.

In other words, with the right support cast, A graders are easy to be formed.

You got me. I had visions of LDU winning the flag all by himself.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

He has been a good interceptor, but an average defender. He can work either end, with Dawson looking solid in his first year and Logue coming back, he doesn't need to be a defender.

I remember when this was Darcy Moore exactly. They’ve picked a perfect player for Chom to model himself on.

As obi wan would say: In your mind my very young padawan...

LDU in a moonboot and crutches Vs Swans in the GF, who would win?

 

[Val Keating]

Well done Chom.

One word, resilient

 

[ChairmanZia]

LDU in a moonboot and crutches Vs Swans in the GF, who would win?

That depends on how he 'uses' the crutches...let's say the crutches were to accidentally hit a few opposition's top players behind player out of the sight of the umpires...during breaks...

10000000% still a baby in key position terms. Wait until he is 25-26, he will be an animal.

I'm so thrilled for Chom.

You could see the talent in his first pre-season training, then the setbacks began and I wondered if he'd ever live up to the promise shown. You can see him improving game by game, can't wait to see how he'll be in a couple more years.

 

[ChairmanZia]

He's one of the big 3, others being larkey + xerri.

These 3 will get us into finals consistently and ensure we are in the game most of the time.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Phenomenal outcome for club and player.

Just such a likeable kid too. Slayed that presser, what a gun.

The reaction of LDU to the news is a great sign also.

 

[Makeshift Park]

TL;DR - Wiphi ain't going nowhere

That Chom-meister ain't good at lying, and that look in his eyes said it all.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Bit late to the news, but holy shit, this is ****ing awesome!

We are so light for KPPs, so it's great to tuck him away for 2 more years. Having a great year.

You can just hear the excitement in his voice. Sounds so giddy, can't talk us up enough.

We are building folks, and this bloke will be a big part of it!

 

[AnEmptyChair]

THE guy.

What a player he is and could become

 

[Mute Point]

Do
Not
Move
Him

We have so many holes to fill.
When we have a winner it's one less position to worry about.

 

[Disco Dew]

Superstar

 

[cybercrab]

Just incredible

 

[amaz199]

Outstanding game.

 

[shinboner spiggs]

Heading for All Australian level in 1-2 years.

 

[William Caresser]

The Dogs only kicked 11.11 today in large part due to Charlie. Outstanding again.

 

[Possession]

Joining in the chorus here: he was just fantastic.

 

[King Corey]

Most lionhearted of the lionhearts yet skillful and smart too. Love him.

 

[CURVE]

I know we are desperate for a second tall to assist Larkey in our forward line, but this kid isn't the answer, he is the rock we can build our defensive unit around. He was brilliant today and getting better with every game he plays down back.

 

[hoffseason gains 01]

What a player.

 

[Caracas]

Charles is the heart and soul of our team. Without him today, we lose by 12 goals, at least. The way he hugged Dawson (I think) after they thwarted the Dogs on one occasion, was really special. He loves the team.
