Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn : Massimo D'Ambrosio

[Dipper]

This kid is a gun, and he's still growing each week. We knew his kicking was elite, but so is his run, and he had some great hands today too.
Most impressive are his hustle and toughness. They said he'd shirk contests, he hasn't done it once. He puts his body on the line, and goes in hard every time. Even had one of the commentators confusing him with Newk.

Getting him from Essendon for nothing makes it even better.

On his debut I was impressed but the thing I didn't expect was that he was hard at it all the way through.

Farkn gun

 

[kazzooka]

I think he's a lock for AA now. By the way Buckley was talking too, it sounds like he already was before the game started. I'd also say Cornes would advocate for him too.

 

[Nugett]

Thank you Essendon. The best pick 61 and future fourth we will ever spend. You only ever get one Essendon in your life time

 

[TylerDurden]

Guy is a freak.

Yes Buckley’s comments were noteworthy. Cornes will want half the team in there. At least with Ling gone, Stewart’s name isn’t inked in at the start of the season

Cornes a week or two ago seemed hesitant to leave out 'better' players that weren't wingers for him which surprised me. Hopefully he was just trying to keep his cards close to his chest.

0 doubt he deserves a jacket but i am not going to believe they will pick 2 wingers until i see it.

Yep can't see them not picking Merrett on the basis that he "could" play wing.

 

[Hawked Wings]

Absolutely gun. We all know one of the centre bounce mids will take his place. The reason the all Aus team means nothing now

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Has to be a serious chance now for AA.

Absolutely. He will surely be in the squad?

Gulden will get one wing position, but they will give the other to someone like Treloar, Zerrett, Naicos, Butters or Sheezel perhaps.

They'll give it to a midfielder. But I reckon another running defender would be more realistic and deserving. Guys like Whitfield, Clark, Holmes, Houston, etc. spend plenty of time out on the wings.

If not D'Ambrosio then I'd love to see Flanders get in the side, he's had an incredible season and hasn't had a single quiet or poor game.

 

[offtherails9]

Don't worry about AA boys, it's Mickey Mouse bullshit.

We've got an elite top 3 at the position level winger after we had one from 2012-20, and he's only 21. We're very lucky and I'm grateful we get to watch this guy for the next however long.

Essendon board posters still trying to convince themselves that Mass weaknesses are just being covered over by wins.

"Duursma's been just as good"

Delusion is all they have at this rate - let them overindulge.

 

[Long Live HFC]

on the bombers' board (before and after the trade) they were concerned with his defensive efforts. not an expert but haven't noticed this as an issue this season at all? (TV watcher, don't live in VIC.) seems to run both ways and has laid some great tackles?

Now most of them are seemingly pleased for Mass and have been complimentary of him. They are ruing the decision to trade him.

I did see a bit of talk about how he was quite soft, didn't like the tough stuff. From pretty much day 1 at the Hawks he was smothering, tackling, spoiling. Probably the quickest I've ever noticed a player being that "heart and soul" guy since coming across.

I think the Korn would have 12 hawthorn players in if he could

 

[hfc70]

Little known fact - End of October Mass will be officially changing his name

He will be known as Massimo D’AAmrosio

Can't see your sig, but I'm assuming it's the cake guy.
