Would be the number 1 small forward down at princess park
Has been very good this far. Did some nice link up play, makes good decisions and has a decent goal sense.
Look forward to seeing him in the saem forward line with Checkers and McStay.
I think he is in our best team come year end.

Anyone who watches VFL know what his tank is like ? Does he usually fade in the 2nd half ?
Both games he's started strong in the first half and been quieter in the 2nd. Hopefully that can change with more time in the AFL system

In fairness to Joe, the whole side was fatigued in the second half. We were a couple of players down. I would imagine that they are happy with his ability to run out a game or he wouldn't be playing. I don't go to the VFL anymore though
Thought he was excellent early and faded towards the end. Will get acquainted with the intensity across 4Qs the more exposure he has at the level. Quite clearly has the tools, skills, composure, pace & also ability / intent to defend.
His output was at least on par with Shooter's, no small accomplishment from a 2nd gamer:
JR: 12 Disposals; 1.0 goal; 3 Score Inv; 5 Tackles, 24 Pressure acts; 1 T/O; 1 *1%'er; +129 metres over 92 mins TOG
LS: 10 Disposals; 1.1 goal; 3 Score Inv; 7 Tackles, 17 Pressure acts; 3 T/O; 2 * 1%'er;+231 metres over 106 mins TOG

The Phantom

Two weeks in a row finishing with only 2 or 3 available on the bench + a lot of less battle hardened players in the team.
The only surprising thing is that we hung on.
Travelling back from Freo with a W would be amazing.
Has the tools to make it.
Isn’t entirely a small forward either.
Has value up the ground with his quick hands, neat kicks and decision making.
Liked what I’ve seen so far.

+ 6 day break in between
Indeed, given another 6 day break.
Plus a few forced outs mean players coming back in like McCreery can’t give anyone a spell.
The Royal Sampler
Floreat Pica, Bitch!
Harvey can play a full game though. Beau returns and it sounds like Mihocek is a chance.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they brought Kreuger in for Reef to give us a contest up forward with WHE also out.
We are 6-1-1 with Frampton in the side, so I don’t think we’ll see the Moore/Frampton combo disrupted no matter what.

I think he'll become a wingman.

Yeah don't think you can weaken the defence when you've gotta weak forward line in.
VFL - VFL Round 2 v Port Melbourne @ ETU Stadium. Saturday April 1st 7:35pm
Thought it was a very solid first game for Gin. This is like his first practice game. Clear off a little rust, but had really good pressure, laid some good tackles, involved in a lot of score involvements, which the coaches would love. 2 really nice goals as well. But he got a lot of attention...

Very happy to boast about my findings early last year and he's proving me right

Love this kid's games so far. Smart, quick, good tackler and clean. Keep it up, Joe.

Having more impact then Schultz
He’s having another good game. Great pick-up. Time to put Reid on the payroll and send him around scouting.

He’s a magpie, not a duck. A Wang King, not a Wan Ker.
Bit of a natural footballer.
Loving his decision making so far

He's class.
He’s been unbelievably good. He’s a player that teammates and coaches would trust as he’s clean and secure with the footy, doesn’t panic.
Remarkably consistent first few games.

No inconceivable that he could take Sideys role next season…
