List Mgmt. Welcome Jai Culley (Pick 1, 2022 MSD)

[flyinghi64]

Well done on the Nom Jai.
Keep it going and anything can happen. Building confidence each week and getting better and better.

Wow 2 noms in the first 1/2 doz rounds.

 

[flyinghi64]

Yeah I was surprised at the lack of response when Jonas hit him, although to be fair it was a head clash. Pretty sad either way

But it did end up a shot on goal so last thing we wanted was a flair up and reversal.
Also it was pretty clearly an accident and has cost him a week anyway so all's fair.

 

[amazingjoshy]

No rising star noms for 68 rounds, and now 2 in 4 weeks

I believe they call that green shoots

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Big fan of this thread telling me he wasn’t particularly good at anything and hard to see how he’ll make a career out of this last week, and this week it’s which of Bont/Cripps/Petracca does he most remind you of.

Well done Jai. Keep being Jai.

 

[CoastersFlag No.5]

Well done Jai well deserved.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

And, as is customary in times of Jai celebration.

 

[Avalor]

They are nothing alike. Petracca is athletically explosive. Culley is absolutely not.

Agree. I think Culley is more like Langdon (Ess variety), and like him, could be a very good foil at FF.

The Essendon Lang is a ford not a don

 

[YeoGabbaGabba]

2 rising star noms in 6 rounds after none in over 60 previously. Thrilled with that

 

[Ambrose Burnside]

When was the last time we had two in a year? 2011? (I'm assuming both Darling and Gaff were nominated that year)

2019

Ah yep. I assumed Allen, then looked it up and remembered Petch vs Port.

 

[Art OF war]

Whether its done through reading the play, an explosive first few steps or strength what both Culley and Ginbey really need to focus on is on getting first hands to the ball at stoppages. If they can both do that we are a lot further along in our rebuild than some people think.

Hoping thats just the coaches telling them to play defensively and learn off the best midfielders to start with. Jai has shown he can win the ball at lower levels but doesnt possess an elite first couple of steps speed wise whereas Ginbey has that elite AFL quickness & agility but lacks some of the ball winning IQ. However for their first year, they are doing extremely well.

Hopefully one or both of Hewett and Long can add to it

2004 was the clubs best year for rising star noms when when had 4 in the one season
Staker, Seaby, Butler, Waters

 

[Truckosaurus]

Much better news than I'm used to getting midweek about the Eagles

 

[Spooky17]

I had Jai in my top 5 rising star nominees for the year, so this is a great result.

Can we please re-sign Culley, Ginbey, Longy et al asap thanks!

Didn’t realise Seaby was that young. Always thought he was like in his mid to late 20’s when he won the flag

 

[southcoast]

Petracca ran 3 minutes flat for 20m sprint.

I reckon I might have that covered - so you’re saying I’m a chance.
