Great that he kicked that tough goal but missing the sitter hurts more. He wasn't alone there though. Cotchin, Rioli and Caddy also missed very easy shots.

Doesn't seem to hold his ground well enough for such a heavy unit.

on todays performance he should be elevated onto the senior list.

Will just keep on getting better

Can he improve his speed? Looked ok after the first couple touches but is a bit of a dinosaur.

I believe there is something there but has a way to go yet. Another season at VFL and maybe try again

I saw it differently. Way better than expected for mine. 7 touches, 4 marks and 1 goal 2 in 22% game time.

Promote. Back up for Nankervis.

Hampson and Ivan Snr to never play again. Both off the list at years end.

Besides height, I can't see anything in this bloke.

7 disposals and 1 goal 2 behinds, 4 marks, 4 hitouts, in 22% game time. You have to have some hope just on that basis.

I've tracked this bloke for two years and gave him little chance. The improvement in his game sense and marking huge in the intra club and his admittedly short hit out in JLT 3 is fairly impressive. Is he near his ceiling or does he have more gears?

You'd have to think he was chance to be promoted as we only really have Griff as back up to Nank.

He can only benefit from it.
He's ahead of schedule for mine and hasn't got to the top of his talent yet.

The big Giraffe appears to be coming along ok, very handy kid to have on the rookie list( like using a rookie pick on a young ruck) . His game nous looks to have come along way....long way to go but defiantly heading in the right direction

Apart from his first couple touches he did well with limited gametime.

If Hampson is on the LTIL I don't think we have much choice - needs to be elevated.

Maric should only play seniors as a last possible resort.

Spoke to him about getting on the list at the B&F last year he was not happy with still be left as a rookie. The way he spoke it will be only a matter of time before he believes he will be place on the list. The kid will be a good ruck for us this year..

Tough crowd. Kid is coming along nicely for someone who hardly played footy and wasn't even TAC level 3 years ago.

Rucks come into their prime at 24-25.

He wasn't bad at all. Certainly improved from last season. Nice how he milked the 50 from the late but slight contact Grundy made on him.

I'm very hopeful and that's where I'm at. Still major development left in him.
