This is great news, I was worried if he wasn't getting games he may fly to get other opportunity but I really like what this kid has

[George Kramer]

Awesome, Jeffcrowe will be happy

 

[Dangerousfield]

The good news just keeps on coming, how are we going to fit all this young talent into the 22?

Feeling buoyant ahead of the season, need to beat GWS and start the season inside the eight, then we have 5 of the next 6 at AO. GWS were 16th last year, so these are the wins we must have.

Don't think GWS will be a pushover, don't get sucked in by their year last year, were horribly coached, new coach now, still stacked with talent could go either way.

 

[Golumless]

Very good signing. Especially before Taylor breaks into the best 22.

 

[Go the Guts]

Lots of raps on this guy, never seen him play. Inside mid?

 

[StickerMan]

Was one that I had concerns over whether he would stick around if he wasn't getting AFL games this year.

Great news and he is obviously backing himself to force his way in to the side.

Good signs.

Massive wrap on this guy as he has similarities to Lachie Neale

Yeh can play both and go forward

 

[Thylacinus]

Lots of raps on this guy, never seen him play. Inside mid?

Inside/outside. Has a very good balance of both (and balance full stop), can win his own ball or receive, and when he has it can often sidestep or do dance moves to give himself a bit of space to raise the eyes and to use it very well. No-brainer to give him an extension as he has very considereable upside.

Massive wrap on this guy as he has similarities to Lachie Neale I reckon.

That will mean we have 2x Lachie Neales with Soligo also on track for a Brownlow.

 

[DJ75]

Like this a lot. His play in the SANFL finals last year was elite and showed what he could become.
Like Soligo, he's a high IQ player.

Hopefully he gets up to the level fitness wise and we see some game this year.

Certainly starting to set the scene of a stable club now...signing up the young talent and attracting back top line SA players...a good model going forward i think

 

[Golumless]

Indeed. I had him aas the SANFL sides best midfielder when Crouch wasn't available just on the impact side of things.

17.4 disp/0.5 goals/4.5 clearances/4.9 tackles for his first year. Classy too with some of his ball movement being slick, so he's a kid that does everything to a decently high level.

Now, come on, you can't both be right. Which is it, rap, or wrap?

My money is on rap, as in rap sheet.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Great re-signing!..

This lad has great skills, decision making and composure. And hits the scoreboard.

Was a bit worried he hadnt re-signed last year thinking he might want out.. glad to see I had nothing to worry about.

The good news just keeps on coming, how are we going to fit all this young talent into the 22?

It wont be a matter of fitting them into the 22.. it will be a matter of these young lads forcing themselves in.. Nicksy wont be able to ignore it if lads like Taylor are tearing it up in the SANFL and he’s still got the older firm in the AFL 22 failing him with poor skills, form, decision making and no composure..

Cream eventually rises to the top!..

I reacon we’ll see Taylor show us all he’s every bit as good as his buddy Jakey Soligo who was picked around a handfull of spots before him..

Reacon his thumb injury (atleast i think i remember it was a thumb that was the issue) in the first half of last year was the only thing that stopped him getting an AFL debut last year.. by the end of the year he was over it and really starting to show his wares in the SANFL..

 

[beartoo]

Good to see another young kid sign on. Liked what I saw in the SANFL last season. Reckon he'll be hard to shift once he debuts in the 1sts.

or is that just me?

 

[Betts are off]

Nice, good signing.

Wasn't he the pick before Arlo Draper?

 

[Mutineer]

Does anyone else think he looks like Will Hamill or is that just me?

It's just you...

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

Great news!!!

IMHO he will be firmly in our best 22 by the end of the season. When you watch him doing drills or match sim, he looks meh. The more the pressure cranks up, the better he looks. He is the polar opposite to Brayden Cook in our squad.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Awesome, Jeffcrowe will be happy

I wish Travis Boak would invite him to USA with him next off season

Anyway , when he’s fit he will be our best mid
