Just going to clean up around here before I draft him in my boy stakes. Mods, can I have mods rights on this thread? Do I have to cut his oranges and make him a sandwich for game day? Should I get the girlfriend to give him a rub down?

Good to see him play a full game. He's a long way from seniors now. Let's hope he gets to this preseason fully fit, and Uncle Tony (Tippa) is also ready and rearing to train alongside him for the whole summer. He does seem a little apprehensive to go 100% right now. That could be his concerns about gassing out or just having to compute too much modern footy team structure.

I'm still very excited what "my boy" will end up doing on the footy field.

Two disposals, one tackle

It was his second full game for us, he got to a number of contests this week which was really good. We’re spending the weeks with him teaching our leading patterns and game plan so he’s continually learning about how we play the game. It was good to see him out there again and he’s building into it so hopefully we see some good on field results in the near future.

Watched him closely at training on Thursday especially in the match Sim.
It was probably the best I've seen him train I must say. When he had the ball in his hand he looked great. At one stage he even chased settlefield down and dumped him on his a$$.
I reckon he might become one of those players that with better quality of player around him will be a better player

Hope he gains a bit of confidence. Looks a bit lost right now, almost to the point where he does not want to get in the way .

Yeah, he's not even going full pace at the ball or man. Perhaps a run at half back would be good. Follow someone around until he has the confidence.

Well done!! I notice there were two tackles as well. I think he should be aiming to increase the tackle count that will allow him to get involved more while he's learning the best running patterns for footy in the big smoke!

Look at that smile!! Loved it!
 
Walla was pretty happy about handing him his first goal.
