Looks like a good prospect, but not sure about now ,

Nice user of the ball but Looks a bit nervous in contested situations

Second game, he got taught a lesson. That's OK, back to the twos again to learn some more.

Really good for his development. At the beginning of the year, there was no way he would have expected to play 2 games in the seniors so has exceeded expectations.

Caddy or Graham to take his place next week you would think

Eggs is a bit soft at the moment. Sidesteps the odd three. Has a future though.

Agree, he looked a bit timid at times.

We may see Stack go back and Baker/Higgins return for next week.

A good learning for him today. Now back to the VFL.

Crunched multiple times by greene including illegal face into turf stuff, but bounced up and got on with it. Seems to run to good spots but ball handling still questionable.
Has had a nice little taste of it.

Most promising debut against inferior opposition.

Feel he was found out today though. But that's fine. Good for his development.

Back to the VFL to hone his craft. He will be all the better for the experience.

Ahem..

Next week’s selection headline could be: “No eggs but Tigers have a Short Stack across half back.”

Only to be expected that Eggs would have a quieter game after last weeks stellar performance. Still has a way to go but he is young with plenty of talent so his future is bright

Fair assessment.
Had a taste of it and should be better for it in the long run - but agree that it would suit if Sydney went back there next week.
