I have really enjoyed watching your son play, I especially love his composure, you just can't teach that.
As BS says, he believes he is going to kick the goal, and he kicks the goal.
Some of his instictive play shows me he is capable of CHF long term, both in setting up goals, and his accuracy from further out.
I also really like the raised arm goal celebration.

You should be on our drafting panel.......seeing that you can see that the guy's a dud....something our recruiters seem to have not noticed when they drafted him...
...give me and the kid a break ffs......what i have seen of him...and it's not much..i was impressed....whilst not in the same league as you as a judge of fine footy flesh.....i saw a glimmer of talent...but i, like our recruiters must have all been wrong....![]()

In fact 98 games.
Its a tall ask but a couple of goodish games doesnt mean you have made it.
He will struggle this season as teams focus on him and work him over.
How he responds we dont know.
Here is hoping.
This time last season we were all singing Stanleys praises now people see development is crucial.
Look big blokes take longer etc etc but I think Arryn's had more influence in two games than Stanley has had in a dozen. If Rhys does make it he'll be gold, cos he can run like the wind and thats numero uno important in big blokes these days...but right now hes pushed aside in contests and runs to wrong areas too often
He hasnt had the blow torch applied and he will.
He will be challenged mentally and physically.
How he responds will determine who he will be of course.
A few years ago we had a late draft pick also a suburban small Coleman , a smoky still the Thomas years. (Name escapes me)
Just never kicked on.
Development is crucial and so is attitude.
But dont expect much for three seasons.
It's how it works.
Let the kid just develop without the load of the clubs woes on his narrow shoulders .

This kid is fundamentally a footballer.
f***...can't argue with that..

If my son played for Saints there is no way id read this site.

Noticed in some of his highlights and what not that he seems to have a streak of arrogance in him, loves to take a grab walk back (facing away from the goals) and just kick it, doesn't matter where he is, just wants to go back and slot it.
Hope that grows into a pure confidence and willingness to take important shots, demanding the footy and slotting them from all over the 50!

Could Arryn be our James Hird??
Late draft pick (Sipposs - 75, Hird - 79), 6ft 2, midfielder/half forward, agile, good mark, great kick and most importantly blessed with a football brain
Long way to go of course but to me there seems to be quite a few similarities
Here's hoping!!![Twisted Evil :twisted:](./images/smilies/icon_twisted.gif)

Funny!
But if I was a parent of a player, I wouldn't be lurking here. WAY too depressing to hear what the blimp-gutted armchair experts (don't) have to say...
Go AS, though. Good things.

Ahhhh
Nothing like a bit of ownage.
Hell no.
Dont read ANYTHING on this site if you are in any way related to any member of the playing or coaching staff.

Attila,
It's hard to believe your a grown man when you fire off a childish response and threats like that.
Keep whatever personal issues you have with Marto off the forum.
Marto was only offering his opinon. There was nothing personal about it and nothing even particularly negative about it.
It was the type of response you would expect on a fan forum.
Your response on the other hand is completely out of proportion and reeks of personalisation.
For some of you other forumites, don't speak on other's behalf in regards to who reads what.
I for one think Marto is one of the better posters on this forum that calls it like he sees it and thinks his opinions through.
That's a lot more than others on here

Yeah, heaven forbid someone who is currently directly associated with a player un-anonymously fronts up here to clarify and clear a few things up!
What next... will people be called upon to appreciate that players are human beings with families and friends who should be talked about with some basic level of respect?... or worse, they'll be expected to actually get their facts right before posting?!
I bloody hope not.
