“You slow it down and realise the mechanics of his movement is quite amazing. At times he looks off balance but can still keep his feet and change direction, settle and then kick a goal. It’s like his arms and legs don’t belong to his body.
Whilst I was making a gif this morning of Shai's incredible twisting goal on the weekend I noticed this exact same thing.
He must be hyper mobile. Moves like few, if anyone does.

I love how Brayden Ham (?) just standing there flat-footed and dumbfounded (and almost looks like hands on hips)

Going to be hard to keep him now. Waiting till the end of the year will allow other clubs to throw massive money at him, and one might be too good to refuse

This is where the Mitchell talk is a bit confusing to me ,

but balancing salary caps isn’t my area so I’ll leave it to the experts

People need to chill.
We don't lose regardless.
Brereton said he is the best under 23yr old in the game.
What did Geelong get for Kelly?
That's what i would expect in return.
2 picks under 12.
Kelly got Geelong Cameron.
Cameron has Geelong better positioned to win a flag then when Kelly was playing.
Don't get me wrong i would be absolutly shattered if he ended up at West coast next to Ryan and Allen considering one of those 2 shouldve been in yellow and black too.
Moving to freo wouldnt hurt as much.

Mitchell talk is complete media generated rubbish. When you're desperate to be heard/clicked, mention Richmond.

Interesting Narkle snippet in The Age

Quinton Narkle and the Cats are in discussions about the 23-year-old’s future beyond 2021, however the midfielder is not expected to make a decision about his next contract until season’s end

With Narkle being Shai's good mate and one of Ralph's boys makes this interesting to watch.


Admins, if you think Narkle deserves his own rumour thread, feel free to move this post.

Has there ever been a better player with better agility ?

probably not.

but Michael Mitchell could dance. Sam Mitchell wasn't as beautiful, but his lateral movement was extraordinary. Michael Long was pretty elusive.

you used to have to go to the chiropractor after the game if you sat too near the fence when Mitch was playing
Yep, was a jet cut down in his prime
I saw him at Optus Oval in 2018 WCE game, only 22 deg that day & he was sitting in the same bay that I was supposed to be in, being a red headed, fair skin blue eyed git of pommy origins, i hide from the sun so I stood in the concourse instead of sitting, 3/4 time Mitch came up sweating like a pig, I said g'day & gave him my missus's fresh beer :) he skolled it , hugged me & took off
