#38 - Rhys Unwin

I’d be keen to hear about the kid as well. Unfortunately currently known only for having the most apropos surname in Essington history.

nothing to see her at this stage unfortunately

I was going to mention him in the VFL thread on the weekend. I haven’t really seen him show much, in particular the pace he apparently has.

I did like early in the 4th he received a mark from a kick in on 50 and immediately About-faced and charged 30m and kicked it long. Was the first time I’d seen the wheels used.

Shows some flashes of good things but like a lot doesn’t do enough for long enough

How is this fella going? thought he would be ace this year but maybe he’s just getting up to speed with the fitness part?

Seems lost a fair chunk of the time.but does some nice flashes here and there.

Bloody hard to judge a small on the team he plays in

`yeah thats fair - feels like he needs another preseason to get more fitness and yeah learn a little more as well

You don’t want to be the only bloke not to debut this year, get it going son and you will be in

Gerreyn

He should have debuted against Freo , hard to fathom that Duursma played with a tight hamstring before the game.

Unfortunately with our S&C team it’s actually not that difficult to fathom.

Unfortunately I just never seen it with this bloke. I couldn’t understand why we drafted him.

It does raise a few questions about Forster-Knight’s ability to find small forwards.

Unwin, Menzie, Cahill, Snelling, Eades, Del’olio, and (imo) Smartt.

The only small forward he found (not tied to our VFL or academy) was Fantasia.

I reckon Bassett found him, so RFK misses out again

We’re already going to have played more players than we had on the list at the start of the season. Play Unwin and Gerreyn so that everybody on the list has played at least one AFL game, which must be at least unusual. Then name Cox as sub for the last game, so that everybody on the list has played this year. Might as well spend the rest of the year becoming the answer to obscure AFL trivia questions.

I haven’t given up on Unwin yet, certainly not going to look good as a small forward playing for the Essendon VFL side that’s for sure.

This Piece Onion brings tears to the eye.

Certainly deserving of a bake and some karma-lization. But, is he simply cooked?

What about Davey?

Yeah. Onion Gravey.
