yep. last time I found myself watching one player so keenly was Jobe at his peak.

Could see him in his second year round up the troops at half time and give the group a spray just like Callum Mills did at the Swans last week.

And that worked well didnāt it!
Ah yes I remember it well.
Midfield for the rest of the year!
needs a fkg goal after sprinting 150 metres sidestepping ā ā ā ā ā into next week.
100% agree. Lets see what heās got.
Almost canāt afford to lose the bloke in the backlineā¦ Heās our most composed and reliable small/medium defender after 6 games. Of course he needs to go into midfield, thatās a given, but he will be a loss to our back 6 that Iām not sure we can afford given the amount of ball going in thereā¦
Yep.
Harves wants him to stay in the backline.
Bluey wants to have him as a mid,
Skippy says he would be a handy player in the forward line.
The club has already taken a sample of his DNA and want to clone him.
If you get the ball in your forward line, you donāt need to worry about the backline.
This is Adelaides philosophy
Would rather him in the backline this year. Why?
1 - He is playing great and buildingā¦why change a good thing?!
2 - Plus we just donāt have the depth in those running defenders positions like we used to. We need him down there otherwise we start to rely on Gleeson, etc. to do it.
3 - itās very hard physically for a 1st year player to play in the midfield at AFL level, let alone do it for a full season. Will get small stints in the middle anyway as a building block for next year but I would try and nurture him through the year by doing his apprenticeship in the backlineā¦let him win the Rising Star.
Do they even still exist?
Future Captain?
Thats what they wanted to do to replace Shaw when he retires
What a pity he couldnāt have celebrated his first goal a bit more. Plenty more to come, methinks!
I like the way he goes about his game.
So much growth still left in his game. Going to be insane how good he could be
Ya think??
I donāt reckon heād be too concernedā¦ given it was pretty clearly touched.
Whatever you think. Might have been touchedā¦but the ball didnāt change trajectory so couldnāt be overturned. Having spent a few years goal umpiring, every fucking defender claims heās touched every fucking goal, even if theyāre 30 metres away. Itās in their DNA. I reckon thereās an argument to allow touched goals.
Touched or not, I think we can all agree that goal review system is effing useless.
