Former #17 James Stewart

He reads the play so well.

It was vintage Heppell Friday night.

If he can keep playing with versatility he makes our team so much more damaging.

Great body work from Stewart to gain back the front position. He’s Hurley like once the balls at ground level.

We also scored 3 more times after that goal

His pretty slow but still as fast as McKenna

Wow that is a real surprise - assuming no photoshop shenanigans. The equal fourth fastest on the ground. Whoever thought he was so speedy?

Surely he must have been shoved into a contest to register that speed.

Beating his chest like an ape is aerodynamically akin to a bird flapping their wings

My concern is that Hooker is now ‘Too Quick’ to play as a defender.

Think we have found the Colyer replacement.

Must be his run up when kicking for goal.

Well worth 550-600K, 3 year contract. Get it done Bombers. No stuffing around. Get the impression if you play games with the bloke he’ll look elsewhere

l get the opposite impression, not that l would use it as a bargaining chip. He certainly isn’t going to the Pies, after they dissed him twice. When we recruited him all the heavy hitters were in attendance, making him feel wanted. That has left a lasting impression. He is enjoying himself right where he is, and l reckon he will stay. In some ways he is a prototypical player for the future. Watching him continue to develop over the next few years will be a delight. Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

I hope he strings collingwood along and results in them missing Lynch. Can’t see him leaving, close to a decade of him partnering with Daniher with the service of our kids is an irresistible prospect.

Recent players we lost have been due to the saga (yes??). On that background we have successfully brought in players. Excellent environment to retain players. Obviously very very big bucks can make a difference. Crawf-Hirdy podcast spoke about this and that when yiu do the numbers it is not life changing, for some, over the course of their career. They’ll get a lot regardless, but they get to play with a successful team and their mates.

Let’s get his contract renewed soon and put it to rest.

There’s no chance he’ll go anywhere. We saved his career, and he’s best 22. Nothing more certain.
