I only saw him beaten in 1 contest and that was marginal. We have a ripper in this bloke.

Yep very impressed with Flossy, already penciled in for a number change down to #17 next year

It's just a such a shame he's not a pure mid
What makes you say that Gerks? I thought he looked a natural in at the centre bounce and his hardness and desparation was first class. Looks like a good mover and decision maker too? And to top it off, his disposal was first rate I thought.

Agree with you 61, was just taking the pee out of highlight reel fanboys that had labelled him a defender

Yep, fair enough Mate. Looks the goods as an on-baller, that is for sure. Now if only we can get Foley back asap

He's quickly becoming one of my favorite players. At $31 could be worth a punt for the Rising Star.  :thumbsup

Foley can miss a target but makes up for it by extracting ball out of the centre.But to put his name in with Jackson and White is insulting to Foley. ::)

Some people have very short memories.  He was a State player and in the All Australian squad of 40 for a reason he's a very very good player and would make every teams top 22 if fit.

Agree he can miss targets but Jackson and White do that 50m in the clear, Foley does it bursting out of a pack under immense pressure

Got pinged twice for holding the ball, albeit one questionable, but so refreshing to see a new kid take the game on. Looks like he has been in an AFL system for a couple years. He'll sit down with the coaches and watch the videos and show him where he can fix the little things and will only get better. Man I love this bloke already! Stuff who else we could have drafted. He's going to be a jet.

Woah, Vlastuin and Morris, what is this, the Expendables 3?  :shh
