I think we can develop him into a star.
He has the heart for it and that alone goes a long way to coming a star.

Just watched the last half of the swans game again. This guy will be a star, not just a role player. Heās still just a skinny kid, wait till get gets an AFL body and tank.
Heās got guts, determination, anticipation and is a footballer first.

hahahahaā¦not a chance. Iād love to be wrong, because it would be a massive bonus to the club if he was.
Well heād have to overtake most of Merrett, Daniher, Hurley, Hooker, Heppell, Fantasia, Smith, Zaharakis, Bellchambers, Tippa, Stringer, McGrath, Parish, Langford, Gleeson and Saad in the space of one season. Seems unlikely, and thatās just the players of the top of my head who you would say are clearly ahead of him right now.
The hype for this kid borders on ridiculous sometimes. At Guelfiās age Merrett was winning his first best and fairest

Guelfi has played a lot of games this year and has impressed me with his effort in last quarters in particular, but is showing signs of tailing off a bit in the last 2-3 games even when we are winning games well. Has not even cracked it for a Rising Star nomination which is strange considering he has put together a very solid body of work this year. I donāt see the āstarā tag as being so likely, but see him being a versatile and very very solid team player who has proven he is best 22 this year.

Different ways to measure star quality but this blokes repeat efforts, tackling pressure, versatility, penetrating kick, mongrel and ability to kick goals says (providing he keeps tracking in the right direction) he WILL be a star of the EFC

Pbomber is happy, so that is enough for me.
Essendon is a big club, no limit on the number of stars we can handle concurrently.

Like everyone here I just love the intensity Mr G brings to every contest. The repeat efforts on the wing against Sydney are an example of what he has brought to the team. The willingness to crash and bash into contests to win the ball were always going to win plaudits from the coaches and the fans.
Not sure if it was the Swans game or against Fremantle where we got a goal simply because Mr G was willing to stand and take the hit from an opposition player charging through the center of the ground. Never looks flustered and has good skills.
Just glad I touted him as a potential pick up for the draft.
Mr G
Thatās a terrible nickname. Why?

I used to know a Mr G. Itās what came to my head. I dont think its worse (or better) than some of the invective on here.
G Man!!!

But everyone else is going to think of Chris Lilley Mr G, not your Mr G. Why would you want that comparison to be made.

I didnāt even register that a a possible comparison. Is what I have done or what you bring to the table that is causing a problem?
