    Very impressed today had a couple of turnovers but there looks to be a bit of class about him, looks quick aswell.

    You are more optimistic than I am Glove, I was keeping an eye out for him hoping he would show something, but nothing stood out to me.
    I hope he gets a few more weeks.

      On a day when our accuracy was down (again), he nailed a goal (not a behind) at a critical point of the game.
      He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

        30m out directly in front? God, our expectations have shrunk!

        Groaned when he missed an easy target going sideways early in the piece but improved a little - I remain unconvinced.

              He looked good yesterday, was an important link in a number of forward thrusts down the outer side. One miised pass, but he's not alone there. I think he is well and truly deserving of a place in the side for the next few weeks.

                earned the most 'who dat' comments at the after match signing table haha. Nice goal at crucial moment other than that just did enough.

                  I thought he looked ok too. I only saw what was on the tele but he did not seem to get a lot of first half game time, and seemed a little tentative at times - but I think that he was waiting for the ball to come out him fairly easilly like it does in the two's (he also dribbled one to Reg at one stage and looked a little miffed that it got chopped off before it got there) rather than have to go in and get it for himself. I think he will get a few games yet and has something to offer.

                    Hopefully they give him a few more games to find his feet in the seniors. I reckon he was pretty good showing slight signs of what he was doing well in the reserves. Just put him at Spida's feet and he can use his ball winning ability and big body to get us some clearences.

                    Crouch coming back next week may pose problems for him though.

                      Kicked along the ground twice and handball to a Richmond player once.

                      I'd like to see him get a really good run though.

                        At least it wasn't Choker Bolton who had the kick. If I recall it was Choker who had 2 shots from almost the exact spot in a game last September.

                          Didn't quite impress me yesterday. I expected more from him but I suppose if he strings together a few good games, he'll probably look more promising...

                            Was more impressed in the last quarter when he ran hard a couple of times, once to receive the ball when we were stuck bringing it out the other side of the ground and the other when he forced a Richmond player to go with him which provided space for Kennelly.

                            Sometimes it is not about what you do with the ball or how many times you get it.

                            Roo's also signalled out Grundy at the aftermatch for praise on doing what was asked of him for the day, which I assume was to provide another target away from Mikey O & Hall.
