Yep, but that's only 25% game time. The other 75% was a fair bit of yeah nah what do people see in him.

True but I liked that he lifted with the game there to win. Focus on that into next week.
Certainly will be, more than happy for Arthur to put in some big four qtr games at magoos level and demand a run back in the senior side before the season ends.
Always a fan of the battling fringies that work their arses off to get some senior games, but by the same token it seriously pisses me off when I see blokes with obvious talent loping along half arsed as if they own the right to senior games.
If he's going to make it, he'll probably end up more of a high half forward type.
Thats a pretty low bar though isn't. You say he wasn't the worst in a VFL game, you are right, but hardly saying pick me at AFL level. He was ok today, good when the game was on the line, but his defensive effort still is not where it needs to be. Its as simple as this, watch his footsteps when he is running defensively versus offensively. Much bigger strides when offensive and he sees he can get the ball.
As someone else said. Shai did this initially but holding him in the VFL and pushing that team first mindset changed his mentality and he has excelled since then.
There are not really any doubts over Sonsies skills, but does he have the workrate and defensive intent? Only time will tell
Shai has certainly not excelled defensively in his career, but he has a lot more tricks than Sonsie.
The coaches would have made him totally aware of what is holding him back for the past 18 months. What worries me is that he appears to be ignoring them or is simply never going to change his ways.
Either way it doesn’t bode well for him. I’m not sure how long he will be given to extract a digit before he becomes just another wasted talent
You’re spot on.
Only position he’ll make it in. Doesn’t have the two way running or the desire to play midfield
Geez. That's drawing a fairly long bow. Right now I'd be very happy if Arthur reaches a Jack Ross level.
Really want this kid to play well on Saturday. He has the tools to be an AFL player & showed plenty last year. Only 3 AFL games this year is very disappointing. Got to get him up & about FFS. Come on Tyler.
Can you please tell me what a dunny budgie is? We only have giant green frogs in ours.Watched most of today's magoos game, had to do *smile* for a bit n missed most of the second qtr. So far this season when I've watched Arthur's magoos games there's been plenty that I haven't liked about his game and have said so more than once.
Today's game he got stuck in at the start and I thought to myself, lookout he's on here this will be interesting. That lasted for about five or six minutes and he went back to his usual reading of the play before it actually happened and sagging off to purely outside spectator scabbing up some cheap crap. What I saw of the second qtr and plenty of the third was simply more n more of Arthur playing at hovering dunny budgie.
Reckon he musta got some kinda ferocious arse reaming off the coach at three qtr time because all of a sudden he started to join in with a bunch of his team mates and put in some effort, intent and bloody contest for the last qtr and actually contributed.
Bloke " can " play footy when he pulls his finger out of his arse and has an honest physical dip at the game. But by hell I wish he'd bloody do it a bit more often than maybe
It's a blowfly, fb, that has grown very large on the abundant nourishment in the can. Poetic.
Ahh I would never have guessed. We do have those up here in abundance
out the back i went
to the shed
blowflies swimming round my head
the dump i took
i shat the can
i took a look
oh man oh man
the fly had grown
oversized
i could not
believe my eyes
the *smile* it ate
in my dunny
to satiate
it wasn't funny
but now it was my dunny budgie
One who writes a poem of this quality can teach a dunny budgie to talk. The birds and animals do your bidding, Orpheus of the Outhouse.

Speaking to an ex player recently and I asked him about Sonsie.... he said it's not attitude... just doesn't have an AFL tank yet... he said Bolton was similar at same age.
His ability is obvious to all... but after a couple of big efforts he blows up... and it looks like he's not trying... or wanting to defend... which isn't the case.
He said keep the faith as he was confident he'd be a long term player for us, but will be a slower burn initially, as he needs a couple of full uninterupted preseasons.
