Mick McGuane on twitter:

"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."

Theres definitely a spot for him if hes willing to take it. Needs to do what Townsend did and perhaps look outside his comfort zone. 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.

17 disposals (7 cont.), 2 marks, 4 clearances (1 centre), 6 tackles, 6 In50s, 2 1%ers  & 1 goal.

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

Looked the part today

[The Machine]

Continued his form from late last year...well played CE

[Willy]

Still can’t see him making it. Has some class but not enough to make up for his lack of speed and size.

[The Machine]

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.

[Willy]

Ok, he’s already made it...

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

[Slipper]

Still can’t see him making it. Has some class but not enough to make up for his lack of speed and size.

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.

Started in the guts today and spent a lot of time there over the game.
Must admit I was surprised to see they shoved him straight in the guts.

[Rodgerramjet]

I can see him taking Griggs position eventually on the wing, got to find the fire in the belly though.
