Reminds me of Jack Macrae when I see him play. I think he has the ability to do similar things at AFL level and hope he does.
Iām going to be so disappointed when he eventually plays AFL after all the pumping up going on in here. I watched the VFL game on the weekend, canāt say I saw anything special. Perspective is needed here, Lonergan and Dyson both dominated games in the VFL.
What is his point of difference? There are a lot of players at VFL level that do what he does. Iām not saying he wonāt be serviceable, but realistically, will he end up better than Bobcat?
I will state I have seen limited games in the VFL!

I agree.
I think he will be a solid player but as vanilla as they come.
If heās to make it as a player heās going to have to turn himself into a beast around stoppages.
Out of all the players on our list, Josh Kelly nominated Mutch as the young player most likely to be a very good AFL player. Thatās a pretty good endorsement from somebody who has been in the system for a while and has seen a lot.

Donāt be cynicalā¦ he may have been wearing heels.
This could mean two things. He is either very good, or the rest are really bad!
Mutch actually reminds me of a young Andrew Welsh, but arguably better skills.
I honestly expect Mutch to be a 150+ gamer for us.
Heās already a better midfield option than Langfordā¦
Langford, yet again in the VFL final, basically faded/disappeared after half time after playing a good first half. He lacks the engine to be the ābig-bodied midfielderā he craves to be.
I think that was James Kelly, but if Josh wants to come to the club and make a similar assessment, Iād be fine with that.

Very rare to see players who are accomplished off both sides of the body. That is a big asset, it allows him to get out of trouble easily because heās not heavily biased to a particular side of the body. Myers is completely opposite, always looking to get back on the left, or when he is forced to kick off the right it is not very effective. A big pre-season in the gym and I can see him really emerge in 2018.

Kids got some balls
hard at the footy, gets to contest after contest, can use both feet, great reader of the play
he is a natural footballer if you ask me, if he can bump up his endurance to a really high if not elite level then ive got little to no doubt heāll play heaps of footy for us
Langford went forward in the 3 qrt as Francis went off. I think Langford got most SC (footy live) , so must have been some very poor other players.

Not so sure he will start his AFL career in the midfield. HBF seems like a good entry point for him. This is Essendon after all.

Yep, when Langford went forward we lost momentum.
I think for individual players experience they rotate guys to see what they can do.
arguably? your are setting the bar very low.
