My Boy Draft 2022: Claim here

 

[BrunoV]

Probably my favourite game from Ham so far.

My impression was that he really wore the physical heat (which I didn't think he did last week). Not suggesting that he's ever shirked the issue or anything like that but there have clearly been times when it's just been too much for him. He looked comfortable on the ground tonight, like he belonged (not like a talented kid).

The boy can play.

 

[windyhill]

Flying under the radar.

 

[NAB777]

Impressed me last night. You need guys who can run & link up, and if he can improve his kicking, I reckon he is going to have a solid career.

Moves a bit like Isaac Smith, in terms of his ability to cover the ground & link.

 

[The Camel]

There's a fine player in the making here.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Looking good. What’s his position?

 

[Darealrath]

Reminds me of when Fantasia first came into the team, and you could almost see his brain ticking over when he got the ball and remembered the coaches instructions to use his pace and take the game on.

 

[Mootsy]

full forward!!

Yeh I remember when Raz first played he didn't do much but he had this little mazy run that made me think we have one here, just likes the way he moved

It's similar here with greater early output

Has played some good footy but he looks like he may need a spell. Not surprisingly he has been a bit lost in the physical games.

I can understand him coming out for Cutler but I still want to give him as much senior exposure as possible especially in a year like this when he won’t get much out of playing down in silly scratch matches and intra-clubs

I think they know what they have. He can play. He now has to build a bit of core strength and keep working the fitness base.

Agree. Looked a kid out there again.

 

[Beerfish]

Clearly has a good footy brain.

 

[andleanback]

I’m a fan of him and where he’ll end up in a couple of years. But geeeze he had a shocker today.

 

[eth-dog]

Clearly has a good footy brain.

Don't worry, we'll fix that up.

 

[Ambrosia]

Wasn't great but I like his speed on the wing. Feel like he closed down opposition exits with just pure pace a couple of times.

 

[The Prosecutor]

The good thing is he keeps putting himself in positions where he can impact the game.

He just needs to develop the core strength and maturity to turn them into consistently good impacts.

 

[srobbo]

Been ordinary for a few weeks now. Shame because he had a break out game against Pies but just hasn’t consolidated against some of the poorer sides since.

Think he makes way for Shiel

I would have thought the one thing the kid needs more than experience is 10kg.
Seems to me a year where there's no need to play reserves is the perfect development year in the gym.

Have you seen how much weight our kids put on? Will more likely lose weight than gain it hahah

 

[Zach Package]

Sounds like he was close to our best in the scratchie, which was still in thirds but at least was 18 a side. A good time to play him IMO

 

[DERO]

In for Zaka.

 

[astrowizzle]

In for Zaka.

permanently

I'd like to see this kid make it but he doesn't hurt enough with his disposal like way too many others. Made Cutler look dangerous tonight.

Would be in trouble on most AFL lists you would reckon...

Would rather ham get games over cutler. Ham just needs another preseason or 2 to build his strength, im more than happy for them to persist with him.
