Struggled I thought too.

A lot of almost moments, fumbly, most of tackles didn’t stick and run down a few times.

With Dreamtime next week maybe he gets another go???

Yeah. Keep him in. Best way to learn.

 

[FitenFitenWin]

Needs a limited slip diff - too slow off the mark with his wheels spinning like that. Is fine in the higher gears. Fine with his change of direction too. Just not getting off the mark quickly.

 

[WesternTiger]

Was pretty poor today unfortunately. 1 effective disposal, 4 turnovers. Very fumbly and a bit off the pace. Been good experience but may end up back in the VFL soon.

Still did more than George…

 

[Redford]

If Judson goes ok tomorrow, there might be a decision to make.

Having said that I guess one good game/one bad shouldn’t qualify as an exit.

Moju will be there next week.

Big game for him and the Rioli clan they wont drop him next week but if he has a quiet Dream Time game they might.

 

[tigerlove]

Still did more than George…

2nd half Castagna was ok, 13 disposals. Interestingly MRJ had 21 pressure acts to Castagna's 6.

 

[DavidSSS]

Yeah, looked a bit under his normal level but hopefully should be back to his best soon. Early days for MRJ, expect some inconsistency, hope he plays well in Dreamtime.

[Willo]

Effort was there, some fumbles, needs to get clean hands on the ball.
Still early days, will have his ups and downs while getting experience

 

[saigon tiger]

Had a Sav Rocca today!

 

[UKTiger]

Worked his socks of for little reward.

 

[tigertim]

Maurice’s development won’t be linear, he,ll have some quiet days.

 

[spook]

Juddy could ride the topweight in a jumps race. Love him but even against Essensoft I'd be worried for his safety.

 

[AstuteTiger]

Moju will be there next week.

Big game for him and the Rioli clan they wont drop him next week but if he has a quiet Dream Time game they might.

Agree! Didn't get a lot of it, however, his pressure was good with 21 pressure acts. His last 2 games have been good so shouldn't drop him over one quiet game.

 

[Ghost of 29]

Stick with him for another week. His development will be alternating stints AFL / VFL for the next season or 2.

 

[tha8ball]

That’s the life of a small fwd… particularly a young one. Some weeks u get reward for effort - some you don’t. I thought his pressure was still good and caused the hawks backs to panic and rush their decision making/disposal.

 

[AngryAnt]

Against Los Bombres in Dreamtime?

Kid will go nuts... 3 goal game, back it in now

Does anyone really believe that MJ won't be playing in Dreamtime:

I think there's more chance he thinks he won't be playing in Dreamtime. He seems too polite. C'mon Mozz, of course you're playing!

 

[Bullarto Tiger]

He's a definite for Saturday's Dreamtime game.
Would love to see the Stackman join him but I don't think that's going to happen.

 

[Ian4]

I think Junior has something in him but he's probably not ready for the big time. But as our other small forward options are limited, i think he stays for now.
