[The Nostradamus]

 

[Del191229]

Big fan of this.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

2 things I love

Contested marking
Conversion rate of 12 goals 2 behinds

Welcome Finnbar!

 

[JUST NORTH]

I understand, but it’s honestly it’s what I thought we were getting with Edwards, accept for what ever reason, Edwards never really looked near it from the moment he stepped into the place.

Fingers crossed with Fin, we need some good luck to go our way.
Are Fin and Edwards the same age?

in terms of age pretty close off the top of my head,if Maley could kick he would of been drafted last night,his marking and attack on the ball are right up there,if our development team can improve his kicking and game awareness then i think we would all be extremely pleased

He doesn’t need to be a world beater, just give our vfl team the same structure as our afl for a couple of years.
Will be interesting to see how he goes in a professional environment, we could see him improve out of sight in 18 months.
Great pick up.

Welcome to North Finn, soon as i heard this signing i remembered KIA34 tipping it weeks ago, kudos

 

[The Brady Bunch]

For starters he looks like he has a bit of aggression- we haven’t had that in our big men for a long time

Have you met X?

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Welcome Finn!

Loving this pick

 

[The acurate one]

And The acurate one is livid

Ha not at all.

I’m not built that way . The angst that is caused from rubbish posting resonates through our board.

He has a VFL connection from memory. And I like kickit I enjoy his arrogance

 

[RHLK]

Finnbar out of the goal square with those dukes. How far can he kick?

 

[LB2Snake]

Didn't see him kicking the ball, but the marking was top draw.

Think his kicking has gone from atrocious to acceptable at this stage.....it'll improve.

 

[King Corey]

Tall, aggressive and agile. Genuine marking threat.

In theory a perfect foil for Larkey if he can develop sufficiently.

 

[Roostorm]

North Melbourne Giants to North Melbourne Kangaroos.

Love it.

Good luck Dorsal (TM Lavy_Panther)

Welcome Finnbar!

Appears he was willing and able to quickly work on and improve his deficiencies too

 

[LB2Snake]

I'm seeing a bit of the king twins in this bloke....massive call i know, but just the way he moves.
