I didn’t get a close look at his face but geez he was exciting, kicked a couple of goals and showed plenty of speed and agility.

Watching the Davey twins kick the footy around as toddlers, at the VFL each week… you could see that they were freaks. Even then.

I’ve been waiting more than a decade after seeing that clip of them doing dribble kicks through doors of the rooms at an AFL game.

It’s unfathomable that we only just got Froggy to 100 games.

Team nearly killed him kicking it onto his head every game. I’m surprised he lasted as long as he did.

Wonder why Jayden didn’t get a run, he’s really not far off Alwyn

You mean it’s incredible that we were able to in the end, right??

Just kept breaking himself through his amazing no thought for his own safety courage.

It was a struggle to get him there, but a very very worthwhile exercise.

I’ll just add that the under 16s game was one of the best games of junior footy I’ve watched, played at incredible pace and class. Maybe he was injured but also wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t make it in because that Oakleigh side was impressive. This kid called Elijah Tsatas will be a name you hear a lot in the coming years he is a Dangerfield like midfielder.

He was playing VFL in his last season. We could have gotten him to 100 at the bye week. But chose to wait until round 22

IMO he was playing descent football… but for some reason we preferred having a forward line without a crumbling forward.

Descent football is the cliff most people talk about when a player nears the end of his career

Freudian slip?? Lol. :wink:

I can’t recall clearly, but I think we had finals in mind, & he was really not up to it by then, … and we got him in the last game having either secured a spot, or that we were not going to.

I was told we would have put him on the Team list for that match even if he had a broken leg to get him the 100.
