I thought it was pretty funny

Benny40 · January 31, 2021, 1:25am

Yep! Nice little jibe there.

BigT · January 31, 2021, 2:00am

Is that on the website? I’ve only seen the one Re the draftees

aboods · January 31, 2021, 4:02am

sorry, where were these Hird comments?

Benny40 · January 31, 2021, 4:03am

In the part 3 video on the club site. Well worth the watch.

I already want us to draft Makeing, if only to give him the nickname ‘Bacon’.

Laverde2Langford · January 31, 2021, 1:50pm

It’s there now

some nice glimpses of moore in particular in that latest vid up from the club

Humble_NSW_Fan · January 31, 2021, 11:31pm

Great vid!

Young Hird seems arrogant (like), Tex was quiet, Misiti looks the goods and Moore just looks and moves like a footballer.

Happy days ahead. Bring them all in.

imagine having two Hird’s on the list!

i’m very excited about Nat Rat II i have to say

benfti · February 1, 2021, 1:47am

Yep, with a good year Moore could really shoot up the pecking order. I first saw him play just under 2 years ago and he looked really good, it’s great to see the size he has put on.

He offers in spades a lot of what we don’t have in abundance atm.

Toughness
Speed
Agility
Good disposal.

Young Moore looked an absolute stand out based on the video I saw.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up being worth a Top 10 pick.

ivan · February 1, 2021, 2:00am

yep, there’s only so much you can tell from a 5 sec clip but he looked strong and composed with a good understanding of how to slide guys across him and with a very nice balanced disposal technique.

Where will he be playing this year?

jonovdp · February 1, 2021, 2:06am

Is Alex Hird dropping the ball with 2 hands, when kicking ???

benfti · February 1, 2021, 2:10am

Bendigo

jonovdp · February 1, 2021, 2:11am

I wouldn’t be surprised if Truck is having weekly/fortnightly lunches with Sheeds.

The whole part about understanding and focus on the clubs history is everything Sheedy.
I wasn’t quite born when Sheeds took over as head coach of the club, but from what I understand he brought the club back to its roots and with acknowledging the success and sacrifice of past players.

benfti · February 1, 2021, 2:18am

Hep, Hooker, Hurley, and zaka all played with Nat Rat.

Benny40 · February 1, 2021, 2:19am

Do we have a need for Moore? We’ve already got plenty of ruck options.

nickers · February 1, 2021, 3:00am

Where do you see him playing, Ben? Bit of a utility like his old man or does he have more of a set position already?

jonovdp · February 1, 2021, 3:35am

I think Ben said a few weeks ago, that he was more like Andy Lovett than his dad.

With the way he moved in that video, you can see why.
