Welcome Derek Eggmolesse Smith

[Harry]

Yeah has happened a bit. He tends to slow down to coasting speed while weighing up options, which maybe he gets away with in the VFL, when he probably should be doing the opposite. He's got big eyes, just needs to keep them peeled.

He needs to quicken up his urgency and get into the habit of checking his side view mirrors when he has the ball.

Should we chip in for one of these?

 

[Dont Argue]

Wish I’d have pulled out of as many contests as Eggy.
Would have saved a fortune in school fees

 

[DavidSSS]

Young, not many games, gets found out in a really hard and fast game against an opponent who are contenders.

Wow, so many surprises in the above description.

Give him time, he has work to do, this is hardly news. Has shown enough good signs to keep, assuming they don't cut the list sizes back too far. I'd like the list sizes expanded personally so players can be developed.

For a professional footballer Egg needs to harden up. He has the talent but has he the will?

 

[lamb22]

Are you advocating for Houli to come back next week?

Absolutely!

 

[eZyT]

He has played in 2 big boy games against GWS and Port both times played timid and a liability. Goes ok when it's not a furnace blow torch type game!

so Brisbane aren't big boys? 2nd on the ladder not big enough?

 

[artball]

the only issue i have with Egg is his attempted Don't Argues ..

beyond that i like his laconic style .. and he can kick a football beautifully ..

 

[Jake]

Well at least we have found why we lost.

 

[craig]

Easy to fix the lad if he's a bit soft just put in a bath and incrementally increase the heat that'll harden him up.

I'll see myself out.

 

[craig]

Hes had some good exposure so far and will have learned plenty especially with reviews after every game.

That was a quick return. You should show that door to Steele Sidebottom. It would have saved him a lot of trouble.

 

[zgod]

When the pressure got cranked up he was found wanting.

Meanwhile Baker just fed off of it.

 

[thomas the tiger]

Maybe a couple of games in the midfield For egg when Houli returns. He has everything to make it.

Not up to it. Next please!

The softest footballer to wear our colours for yonks
Make Jordan McMahon look like Ronnie Andrews. Too much time in the Tropics has fogged your vision. Time for a visit to Specsavers Ezy!

[Mr Brightside]

My only concern re players who aren’t hard at the contest is when they play last line defence, I don’t like them there, in saying that I’m sure DES will improve in this area especially considering the RFC environment, his foot skills are a weapon and he maybe more suited across half back or wing if he can build a tank . Way too much to work with to just give up on after a couple of poor efforts

If youde been watching the last 4 years,

Youde have noticed both our hbf, shorty and bachar are not contested animals.

Let me take you back 10 days. Vlastuin, bachar, dtld, rance missing from our backline. Must win game against footscray. Not many expected to win.

Eggs got BOG. 10 sleeps ago. He won a huge TV.

If you want to write off that kid after one poor game, then your footy judgement is pretty impaired.
