"Keep believing Ando. He will continue to improve and work hard. A beautiful kick and as he gains more continuity with training and playing his sense of belonging will go through the roof. Can play."

"Seen him play a lot of his junior footy mate. Great young man. Has had his share of injuries. Just want him to have a clean run at it and he will make the grade."

Maybe work on his contested marking, and look to be a lead up marking forward who plays up the ground.

I would set the par score at 10 - 12 games for him this year. There will be a lot of competition for spots from very capable players; yours Menadues and Markov type players.

More of today's effort if Corey wants to nail a spot in the seniors.

Post by: The Machine on February 24, 2018, 10:31:16 PM: Well seeing he is on a AFL list playing professional football, I would say he has already made it. How long his career will be is completely up to him but if he continues to play like this, he has a good chance of a decent career.

Post by: Willy on February 24, 2018, 10:50:19 PM: Ok, he’s already made it...

Let me rephrase - I can’t see him becoming a consistent AFL seniors player.

This will be his year Willy. He is going to be a good player, but not sure where he fits our team right at this point in time.

Unfortunately, his future might lie elsewhere.

Must admit I was surprised to see they shoved him straight in the guts.
