Player Watch #41: Mabior Chol - FA to GC

[Rayzorwire]

Gutted to lose him, I suspect we'll end up regretting it.

Best of luck Marbs, hope the move works out well for you.

 

[jesterx]

Will miss 2 phones. Do we get a compo pick?

 

[1980GFVideo]

Good on your Chol

Didnt see him as part of our future but glad he is able to continue at the top level. Hope he does well up there.

Gold Coast are no threat to us. Except when we play them of course.

 

[Blinger]

Another couple of years Gold coast might have our 2019 premiership VFL team back together.

has as a footballer suit the Gold Coast Suns to a tee.

 

[chriso11]

Disappointed, but he’ll get more game time at the suns. Let’s hope Nank and Soldo can stay on the park

 

[A Tiger 4 lyf]

heck Yeah! Can’t believe he’s conned another 4 years at the top level!

See ya chol!

In b4 the media claims he left because Vlaustin poked his finger up his bum

 

[Dont_Argue]

Better than that campaigner CCJ - all the best Chol, good on him for securing his future.

 

[wagstaff]

Always promised more than he delivered. Bright moments and the occasional good game but overall delivered very little and too many obvious deficiencies in his game imo.

That GC gave him such a lengthy contract sums up why they've been a rabble since their inception.

 

[db26]

No wonder sun's a basket case offering 4 years for players of this calibre.

 

[Greggy]

So he’s 24 years old and a it’s a 4 year deal? Should be a late 2nd rounder.

 

[Brick Loosener]

In b4 the media claims he left because Vlaustin poked his finger up his bum

Left because he stopped.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

Fantastic for Chol and wish him all the best and look foward to him having a great career at the Suns

the other campaigner can F right off

 

[Vassp]

In b4 the media claims he left because Vlaustin poked his finger up his bum

That was wrong on so many levels.

 

[ryancash]

Will hit his straps in next couple of years and will be a good player. Best of luck Chol.

 

[biaseddustyfan]

al the best

IMO he barely did s**t for us. his best games were like a quarter of brilliance and heck all else

i doubt he will do anything worthwhile at a peasant club like GC

 

[RFCGloryJC]

Looks like Chol and CCJ depart.
Disappointed CCJ left.
Anyway, we have Nank, Soldo and Samson.
Three is enough.
CCJ is third cab off the rank behind Nank and Soldo, probably why he was fed up.

 

[4tune8]

Good luck to Marbs, was probably told to explore his options at his exit meeting and would likely enough not have been offered another contract. He's done well to secure a 4 year deal at our feeder club.

 

[Ralll]

He was a good 3rd string forward/2nd ruck, but struggled when forced to play in a main position.
Good luck to him, at least he will know plenty of ex Tigers up there.

 

[Disco_Stu]

4 years for 2 phones?

TIL that the Suns recruit on the basis of YouTube highlight videos.

Pro Tip suns: It's the non-highlights you need to focus on. With Two-Phones, that's these moments:

• Chol standing and looking
• Chol "I'll hang here at the back of the pack"
• Chol: "I can't run over there. I'm really quite tired."
• Chol: "One effort is enough"
• Chol: "I had a great quarter. That's enough."
• Chol: "If I jump it could hurt. I'll short step to the contest."
• Chol: "Heh, heh, four more years!"

 

[Vassp]

Good luck to Marbs, was probably told to explore his options at his exit meeting and would likely enough not have been offered another contract. He's done well to secure a 4 year deal at our feeder club.

We said we needed him, but he got good money to move on, we forget these guys play for money

 

[fake tyrone]

I like Chol, he has such a fluid kicking style and moves almost gracefully. Unfortunately I think these attributes sway a little too far into appearing laidback and he just doesn't have a consistent impact across four quarters. He needs to develop a bit more grunt which I think is something the Suns are lacking, so it's an interesting choice from their end.

 

[Rioli2Rioli]

I personally wish him nothing but the best and really hope he does well at the Suns
They have taken the risk and he will cost them nothing but $$$ and Chol coming from his backround needs to make the most of his career and earn what he can in his time at AFL level.

Go Well son

 

[BF Tiger]

I wish him the best.

Richmond went 16-4 with Mabior in the side in 19-20, quite often when we were hanging tough. Not a superstar but quite often did just enough.
