Very good game yesterday... worked very hard even in those middle quarters... becoming consistent and looking much better at ground level...strong in the air and a straight kick.

He really needs to be a dead eye shot for goal to be a real threat as a 3rd forward role... and I recon he is, confidence in front of goal is improving as he plays more games... Also needs to work hard to play that role... and he is definitely doing that

He is an unrecognisable player to last year.

Not untecognisable to the player he was in the u18, in the NEAFL or the VFL

He's still finding his feet

Great game by Membrey today, but lets see him do well for a number of games before getting too excited.
Looks like we can now get excited :wink:


He is playing well with a number of strings to his bow.

Yesterday I particularly liked how he chased down one player, then a second to win the ball and to then kick at goal, even if if it wasa behind. Great effort and great play.

Average 2.8goals per game. A number only beaten by Franklin, lynch and Kennedy. It might settle to a bit lower but even 2 goals a game is a 40 season. For the record stringer ave is 2.3.

We're going to be hard to beat if we can get the ball in there. That is where the improvement has to come.

One good aspect of Membrey, Bruce and Paddy is that they are all quite different in playing style but none of the three are lumberers.

It is also good to see that Paddy's mobility has greatly improved, and which most likely will be even better next season.

I am really excited about this three-prong attack. All completely different players. All good enough to kick 50 goals per season.

Another lazy 5, contributed in transition, gut running back into the open space. So underrated in this league, imagine the hype if he played for other clubs, the media would be calling him a prodigy if he was at the demons performing like this.

Though I do like the little coverage, lets him learn without external pressures.

Did one of hits Tatts read " what're it takes to be happy". Kicking goals makes him happy.

Hamill is the ideal coach for him. he needs to be a sponge and take it all in. I've got to say I'm impressed with whats he's accomplished so far this year he seems to of come from behind the eight ball and is killing it. Good on him.
