Gallucci and Atkins commit until 2020

[Mr MysteryGuest]

I see him slotting into Cameron's role.

But I also think Knight could play it as well and is ahead of Gooch.

Good to have this problem though

Knight is already in the side though,

No one else wants him traded, if he can deliver to his potential.

Yep, I’ll admit that I’ve said Atkins needs to take a big step up this year. Even said if he doesn’t he should be on the table come trade time.. I see him in the same boat as Milera... packed with talent and potential and can grow into a future champion of the club but he needs to be harder at the ball, put more effort into applying pressure on opponents and become more consistent.

I enjoy watching both Milera and Atkins play when they are on but both have a long way to go yet and there is some serious young talent that is going to be competing with these two guys for a position in the side.

Gallucci re-signing is a boon for the club... the more time he spends training, learning and playing with Sloane, Gibbs and the two crouch brothers the better.

 

[ams4crows]

He definitely needs to keep improving and working on his issues or he will become the next David Mackay

Don't want him in the "he has potential" category forever

He's already played better than Mackay has double the Brownlow votes too

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Good news on Gallucci. I thought he'd wait to see if he was likely to get games

Re-signing Galluci this pre-season and Doedee last year given their individual circumstances has been really impressive.

There was a reasonable level of concern that they'd take the Watts/Gunston more opportunity ships (not unjustifiably so)

I guess sometimes not parading them in the shop window - like we did with Lever - pays off

It's a bit damned if you do/damned if you don't isn't it?

The contract extension for Galluci might be an indicator the coaches have given some hint to him that there will be more game time this year?

Hopefully Atkins can go one step further and be more cleaner under pressure this year. He's still young and still has scope for further improvement.

 

[BrissyCrow]

Whilst the club doesnt talk to us that much it is good to know that the work behind the scenes never stops. Well done team.

Who was it who said Gallucci was a prime candidate to leave after this year?

Was never going to happen

They rarely leave when they havent established themselves as first 22 players. Reality is no one would be banging down his door at this point to get him to their club. If he kicks on the next couple of years then he is a risk to go.

Rat + Gooch = Rooch

Mind blown

Woah!

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

So did Lever....


I still don't see Gallucci breaking into our best 22 this year.

Credit to him for sticking it out and wanting to make it at a good club.

Imo, Gallucci will play most games as the Cameron replacement. We need his speed & tackling pressure in the side.

There is room for both as Knight & Cameron played last year together.

 

[The Sloane Ranger]

Looking forward to seeing Gallucci in our best 22

We said the same thing to Wigg to get him to re-sign and it never happened.

Yep agree, although he seems to have a level, loyal head on his shoulders

Then again, Lever appeared that way too

Think he’ll definitely be entrenched in it by year’s end, at least

 

[1970crow]

I agree but just a little premature to be using the "gun" moniker.

Be bold Bicks

On what I've seen their fathers in particular are chalk and cheese.....And his father's not Brian [boofhead] Taylor's next door neighbour.

How could I forget

 

[Golumless]

Kind if surprised Gallucci signed for three years. He would be a walk up start at a few clubs but can't get a regular game here.

Thought he would only be a year.

he's a walk up start this year for us seeing he is the only ready to go small forward.

Not sure what we said to Wigg, but there is a difference in that Gooch already had a taste of AFL action with us. Also, Gooch arguably has more upside than Wigg and can play in more positional roles.

Believe it was Mitch clurey(spelling of name?) and the legend of bullshit journalism Kane cornes
