sooo early on but he's already reminding me of wardlaw with how hard he goes for the ball

 

[SpeckieMcVeigh]

Had a few questionable kicks but he's quick, had a crack and had some genuinely excellent moments. Should play every single game from here on out.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Did some nice things late. Had a few scrappy kicks but willing to put that down to first game nerves/tiredness. Had a dip. Keep him in.

[MarkJohnson#1]

Lovely debut A-Rob

 

[Schnitzengruben]

Did some nice things, few mistakes etc but nothing out of the ordinary. Keep him in for mine.

 

[thepokey]

Agreed with above, keep him in, had a real crack!

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Competitor. So already ticked a box that a few others haven’t.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Already a better disposal average than Draper and the like.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Nuggetty little left footer with the edge. No pressure but could see him playing like his capt one day if his kicking improves.

 

[Blind Turn]

Good lad.

 

[DERO]

Showed something tonight.

 

[rumply]

 

[caboose]

Superb debut.

Showed the enthusiasm and hardness, and good football brain, that many of us suspected that he would as soon as he was given the chance.

And how beautiful was the sight of his Mum crying tears of joy when he ran out on to the ground with the team?

 

[windyhill]

So little! Nice touches, big , big moment in the last

 

[Vindicater]

18 disposals, 5 marks and four tackles.

Yep... Ill take that as a debut.

 

[Howard Moon]

Will captain the club, mark it down 5/8/24

 

[Pweter]

About leading into the game: "I couldn't have done anything more, I was prepared, I was ready"

That's some quiet confidence to have ahead of your debut and I think it showed in his output. It seems he's got a great mindset to compliment his competitive nature and talent.

 

[NAB777]

Looks to know where he is & who's around him - something that can't be taught.

 

[Milanista28]

Was ready 12 weeks ago, but we got here at last.

 

[DapperDon]

Just good to have an actual footballer debut.

Some very promising signs

 

[joey_jo_jo]

he looks like he wills himself to win a contested ball despite his lack of size, good decision maker too!

 

[Lance Uppercut]

love him. What a debut. Could be a star.

And I'm so, so, so sorry about this but I realised who he reminds me of...

Surely this is him 10 years forward

 

[brutus76]

He looks more like Hibbo IMO
