Yes. My eyes. He has electric pace and can stand on your head. He is just what we need. He has X factor. He has similar weapons to Shai Bolton.


OK have not seen that in him but I am happy to back in our recruiting staff. I will be 100pc behind him if he comes and if he turns out to be half the player Bolton is it will be a bonus. He has looked like a boy among men so far to me but i guess he will add a little bit of size. He gives me Elijah Edwards vibes. Talented but really small.

Leon was tiny in his first few seasons and still made an impact. Eddie Betts was tiny from the start to the end of his brilliant career.
 
yeah i had a look at that Pistol... was a lot of running into the open goal amongst it and not much in the way of forward rundowns and standing on heads. The last goal was great though.
Did you not hear the commentator say last week he was nominated for mark and goal of the round?
That front and square crumbing at top pace is something we have been crying out for for years.

nope did not have sound on as can't stand the gibbering from BT etc. Hopefully Bobby can thrive in our system and I would be thrilled to be proven wrong but I am not convinced he will make it. Playing forward pocket is a tough gig though and he would not have had much chance further up the ground in the Giants team stacked with midfield class. As long as he does not cost much he's worth a shot

Did you check out his mark?

yeah very nice grab. He just has yet to do that sort of thing with any regularity. Or even get his hands on the ball much. Or apply much pressure. Maybe he has not been happy in Sydney and a new environment will unlock his potential but as i said, I'm not that sold on him. But as i also said, if he's coming at minimal trade cost he's worth a shot.
 
is there any evidence of this at all?

And he has just sat out of the game for a year. I wish the kid well but I am surprised we would be keen to sign him. If we need an electric small forward, I reckon there are better options.
I can’t actually comment on Hill’s ability coz I don’t know but possibly a Docherty/Stengle type comeback?

You could say the same about McCreery too. He's a work in progress.
 
This seems like a lot of speculation on Edmunds' behalf about what he thinks Henry ought to be thinking about our prospective list changes.

Interesting that we're far apart on money apparently. Wonder what he's asking for
Yeah seems strange. If Geelong crap on about not overpaying players surely they won’t be breaking the bank for a second year kid. I doubt we’re too far apart.
