Oh Hall is flying

That's good news, if he can get his head right he has the potential to have a big big impact on this side.

 

[Val Keating]

If we are talking about their talent ceiling then Garner is a 2 story house while TT is 50 story skyscraper.

TT has more upside, talent, skills and midfield potential compared to Garner.

TT has ‘it’. That something that can’t be taught

Paul Ahern midfield or back half?

Hosie out there?

 

[RobZombie]

People forget he's only 20. Not everyone matures at the same time and a male brain doesn't fully mature until 25. He'll come good, with the guidance from Scamper you suggest.

Yeah. I figure he's a year behind Jy. Same position, similar level of talent. A few genuine breakout games like Jy had this year would be fine for him. His games against Brisbane and Richmond this year were getting there but ultimately felt like a bit of a tease. Just on a really rough look at some numbers, along with the eye test, he needs to get his K/HB ratio up and do more damage with his kicking. He already shows a willingness to take the game on in traffic when he gets the chance. He's not too dissimilar to Dangerfield and Cotchin at the same age based on Footywire, and a better ball user than either of them.

Hosie out there?

Can’t be 100% but I think he was half back and mid.

I didn’t recognise everyone so maybe.

Sorry not much help there

 

[Val Keating]

Are Will Walker and Perez still doing rehab? Always curious as to how Bonar's fitting in too.

Nothing really to do with training, but just before I left, Perez was on the boundary about 40 out, flicking the ball around with his feet and then volleyed the footy at goal, bounced between the big sticks but then the ball bounced the wrong way. Still, it was a ridiculously skill full thing.

Do you know if he played soccer?

Captained Vic at the U12 nationals

C'mon mate, switch on.

Ah that makes sense. The way he kind of back heal flicked bit up of the ground I’ve only seen soccer players do

Should’ve brought a photo book

 

[BigBadByron]

Should’ve brought a photo book

Ha.....at least. Nah great work

 

[Val Keating]

Boner is a big unit. Kids a beast. Moved well too

Scott's awful handball heavy gameplan hardly created fertile ground for an emerging mid to flourish.

 

[roos_tt29]

Here now having a bit of a look. Looks like nearly everyone is out there. Can’t see the skipper though.

They all look in ripping nick. Cunners

Simpkin is noticeably more vocal, can see he’s a future leader.

Any questions?

LDU?

 

[RobZombie]

Scott's awful handball heavy gameplan hardly created fertile ground for an emerging mid to flourish.

51K/58HB in 7 scott-coached games, 51K/48HB in 7 for scamper. So the ratio improved a bit but not big enough numbers to really tell, while overall disposals wend down. And had the shoulder trouble in the back half of the season.

 

[Val Keating]

LDU?

Yeah he was there. Looks about the same size as last year, but maybe that’s because he was training with Cunners & Boner who are massive

 

[roos_tt29]

Haha - that might always be the case. Those two a BIG boys.

How was he in drills, etc?

Am gonna cross codes and liken him to the entirely formidable Greg Inglis

Good comparison actually. Or even a less floggish Latrell.

Also hard to bulk up much off a shoulder reco

 

[Val Keating]

Also hard to bulk up much off a shoulder reco

Absolutely. He’s probably been working on his core, which is where it’s at tbh

 

[BigBadByron]

Loving that Hall is getting stuck into it.

He is an x factor for us if he can put it all together and stay fit on and off field.

Exciting.

 

[Psicosis]

Bonar training predominately midfield?

 

[Twinkletoes]

Boner is in everything. Big size for a kid

Yep. Going in hard too

 

[Horizons_00]

I reckon Atley will take his game to another level next year
