and Gulden bring to Collingwood and Sydney.

I reckon he could be right.

 

[Buckemenico]

Wow. 30 quality possessions and only in game 17. Still just 20. Great left foot. Having now seen him in a game - what were essendon thinking ? Keep it up and might be one of the recruits of this year

 

[BobHawk]

Mass has polled well with the coaches and had a great debut. Much of it due to his hard work. Moore and Worpel were the other Hawthorn players to get votes. IMO, our three hardest workers in the game. Think a few of the other players should take note.

 

[HawthornHawk]

Thought I was watching Erol Gulden out there

 

[Flukey!]

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

He had an excellent first game. Did better than I probably thought he would, just needs to build the consistency now.

 

[TylerDurden]

Apparently a massive fan of the Burge weights program. Has put on significant bulk.
Is only 20.
Sky's the limit.

 

[Tall poppy Syndrome]

Had heard about the kicking skills and run. Didn’t also realise how clean he is below the knees and decision making was great. Outstanding debut in the brown and gold.

 

[extractasam]

Significantly harder at it than what I realised. Wasn’t afraid to put his head over it at any stage.

he’s supremely skilled and looks to have to work rate to go with it. Keen to see how he progresses through the season

I suspected he was 23 or so and had been playing VFL a few seasons and then got a call up. But he is basically a 2nd year drafteee who looks class - his kicking is sensational. A great bargain pick up.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

That pick up and blind turn for a quick handball to his teammates was not something I thought he had in his repertoire. Crowd seemed to love it too.

 

[MasterSamurai]

Gotta good one here.

 

[Coathanger]

Great game game from Massimo.
A significant upgrade on Bramble.

He said in an interview after we got him that he thought he could bring what Josh Daicos and Gulden bring to Collingwood and Sydney.

Great stuff. Talking a big game / aim.

 

[Flukey!]

Should have been the match MVP.

 

[Denver Day Lewis]

The new number 16 looks to be a good upgrade on Nick Ries.

 

[Sturty]

Huge upgrade on turnover merchant Bramble
His kicking skills are sublime

 

[moginie]

Yep. As low a blow as you can go.

D'Ambrosio. Rhymes with Dipierdomenico

 

[Iceman!]

His kicking was as good as advertised but the hands were a very pleasant surprise, if he can maintain close to that level on a week to week basis we are absolutely laughing!

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

30 touches in ur first game for a new club is massive. doubt he'll be picking up 30 every game but we clearly want it in his hands coming off half back and on the wing. if he can get ~20 disposals per game he will be seriously damaging

 

[Leather Poisoning]

His kicking was as good as advertised but the hands were a very pleasant surprise, if he can maintain close to that level on a week to week basis we are absolutely laughing!

I was also shocked when he arrived at the club with hands.
He really is the full package

Bramble actually had a good game as well on the weekend. Looked more like he did in his first year

Massimo's game was still much better though

Hawks are always a better team with a chap from the Mediterranean in it.

Dipper, Lekkas, Poppy, etc.
