Me too, though I'm not expecting a big one. I think he's there to fill a role on the wing while we're covering the backline.
If he gets 12ish decent touches, lays a tackle or two, and holds space on the wing well, then that's a good debut. Not expecting much more at this stage. But it will be important for his development.
shouldn't underestimate the confidence he'll get from running out with his brother. There's another Warner boy, is there not?

Looks like an AFL footballer. Get a bit more of the football and he'll be set
He's aerobically fit but needs to get strong enough to take more hits.
He's also a classic "penetrating but wayward" kick - reminiscent of Rhyce Shaw. With experience hopefully he can learn to put the ball to advantage without needing the pinpoint accuracy.
Decent signs, not sure he'll get too many more games this year but another big preseason should put him in a pretty good position.

8 possessions, one mark, one goal, one goal assist/inside 50, one tackle. 57% ToG. Importantly, he seemed to pick up the speed of the game pretty quickly and didn't look at all overawed. Plenty to work with.

I liked that despite being an outside type, he has a hard edge (like Chad) and is prepared to throw his body in to the contest (in a disciplined way).
In a much earlier post I observed that he is as hard as a cat's head. I stand by that observation.

15 months since anyone posted on Corey's thread.
I liked what I saw yesterday. He looked much more confident and at home than in previous games. Kicked his goal, in a chain for another, broke a tackle. Looked strong.
Gave me the feeling that he might just make it.

Agreed KC. Looked like he knew he was ready to elevate himself. At one point he fired out a handball with such ferocity it even caught Parker off guard.

Time for him to take that next step and show that he truly is challenging for the best 23 when most/all players are fit

Happy for him. I felt he was a player who would need a run of games to get used to AFL level. But had the traits to be a regular AFL player.
He has always had a lot of athleticism. He was quick over short distances as well as being a good long distance runner. Presumably he would have been doing sprint training with Chad in the off season.
He is comfortable getting stuck in at the contest. And usually pretty composed at finding a simple handpass or kick to keep possession. Which he did on the weekend. He was linking up well with other players and stayed involved in the play.

Hopefully he really builds now. Has the skillset to be a dangerous player eventually

Yep yesterday was the first time I genuinely saw an AFL player in him. Looked very composed.
Appearance wise he looked like a blend of Heeney and Chad so hope he can combine their best elements!

His goal was an absolute ripper. If we won and I could be arsed making GIFs of the game I would've made one of his little spin out of trouble. Impressive enough but to then steady and compose himself enough to slot the ball through was even better.
He's been playing much more inside at VFL level, winning clearances and breaking and laying tackles. He's clearly done a lot of work on his strength and it showed yesterday with his physical confidence. Just looked a different player. Deserves a full game next week.
