Only playing as a top up player, but he is a good size & athletic.

no 57 and no. 62(another midget) played a great game

Would be looking at Ferguson, Hellier, and Wallace before him. All midgets though. |
Would be looking at Moloney first I would have thought? |
First time I've seen him from memory. Played well and certainly wouldn't rule him out. Just seen a bit of he others and they perform consistently well. |

Wallace had a cracking game, and Hellier can play too. |
All 3 are just trashings machines aren't they Stui. |

| I wish they'd elaborate when they say a player needs to improve in certain areas - for instance Martin, consistently collecting 30+ possessions and kicking goals but continues to be over looked for a senior call up. Very confusing |

^34 possessions and 9 tackles seems pretty good to me as well.

Exactly - I don't think any player would have had more than 9 tackles.
Totally confused as to why he hasn't been elevated already. |

| Well, he looks good to me, too, so who knows? But if, eg, they privately think he's a bit soft at the contest or lacks defensive running capability, they're hardly going to tell us publicly, are they? |

That may be true but other players seem to do less and get rewarded.
It reminds me a bit of 2010 when Blair was killing it in the early rounds of the VFL and everyone was calling for his elevation. |

I've seen him play several times & soft he is not. He runs hard both ways & tackles fiercely. Not sure what they are waiting for to be honest. It's a bit baffling. The opposition teams certainly know how good he is because they tag him often. |

| I wasn't suggesting he is, woftam. I was just trying to give an example of why this is one area where the Club can never give us a forthright explanation. We'll all just have to continue to be baffled (and call for his inclusion, of course). |

Don't recall ferguson so much, probably cos I don't know who is is but the other two yes.
Whether they could make the jump to AFL I don't know but they are damn good VFL players.
