Good luck, Charlie!
McFly:
“It’s a great story, Charlie’s last couple of years have been struck down by injury, the foot just kept re-injuring and this time last year he got ruled out for the whole year.
“The things you don’t see is staring at that black line in the pool and limping around from trying to regain that belief in your body.
“He’s done a power of work, he’s physically stronger than he’s ever been.
“He’s a great system player. We’re confident that you’ll see a guy that plays Collingwood style, and he gets an opportunity and we’re really, really happy for him.” |

Well done James.

I don't expect a lot from Dean. He is coming from a long way back, and it's his first AFL game.
I think the player we see tonight is going to vastly different a few games down the line. |

Yes Charlie one of the few highlights for the VFL pies yesterday. Was very strong at FB and saved us an even more embarrassing loss many times.
Looks a cut above some of the VFL forwards and will deserve another AFL spot soon if needed.
I'm sure he will look better too in a few weeks time when Eyre and Sofrinidis make it back. _________________ Premiership Pies made it legendary in 2023, don’t let them forget it. #Go PIES 2024…. |

I think Dean is going along nicely, considering he’s missed two years of footy.
Once again, with so many injuries, he was asked to do a lot against the Dogs but he’s now getting involved a lot more and backing himself in contests. He’s also a very reliable kick of the footy.He continues to be a work in progress but I’m feeling more optimistic about him now than I was when he first came into the team at the start of the year. |

I thought he was very good last night. Definitely a standout in an otherwise disappointing night. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

Nathan Murphy 192cm, had some rough edges early, but showed promise and honed himself into a steady reliable player.
Charlie Dean 195cm, is trending the same way. Looks far more confident second time around. . Only just about to turn 23… Look's rosy ahead. |

Dean has been very good - last night I thought he more than held his own. _________________ I think therefore I think - I think |

Dean was sound in what he did with one exception ….he looked over-awed by Darcy in a couple of contests .
He needs to understand the importance of genuine physical contest …many forwards are off put by it …distracted, their run in is disturbed or they miss their intended jump point .
He seemed to be more of a spectator .
He needs to understand the age old expression— “ the bigger they are , the harder they fall” ….yes that was said in another context but it’s true in footy too
Definitely persist with him . Howe is indestructible but Father Time waits for none . _________________ The Good , The Bad and the Ultra Ugly ….as long as they hold their marks, kick straight and never stop trying-the Magpie Selectors need to give them consideration . |
