Wiz had 61 shots, and 52 scores this year.

Did you repeat Buckley's comments from OTC last night?
Wiz had 61 shots, and 52 scores this year.
...and NINE OOF.
...and probably another half-dozen or more that didn't make the distance.
I think it was 66 or 67 shots at goal I saw somewhere - most "ever" by a 1st year player ("ever" being since Champ Data or whoever started tracking shots).
My prediction going in to next season is that Cody Anderson will have a similar surprising impact on the supporters of whoever draft him (hopefully us).
Any other juniors to keep our eyes out for?
LOL No I didn't watch OTC last night.. But great minds must think alike

Wow what a 1st season of footy. I wasn't sure he was ready when he made his debut & really wanted him to earn his spot. Bloody hell all the misses aside I was instantly in awe of his work rate. He's a bloody ripper & so glad we got him. Plays his role perfectly, has swagger & is a bit feisty too boot.
Can't wait to see him.kick some ridiculous goals & take some absolute speccies next year.

What a season he had. Hopefully the club, or a particularly dedicated supporter, is able to put out an extended highlights video for the rest of us.

15 goals in his last 5 games?
Keep that up, stay fit, and play finals - and that’s 75 goals next year.
That’s what I’m talking about.

This kid could be the most damaging player in the competition. He has it all: speed, game sense, marking, kicking (I know he has had some challenges), his defensive pressure is elite and he's sooooo hungry. I hope that while he's having fun he also realises his incredible potential and lifts his professionalism to the highest point possible. He could be anything.

Waiting for the comparisons to Kako. Will be fun having the media write him off again
I've heard that and you have to laugh, has kako kicked 80 goals across all comps this season? .
Don’t know if it’s because of playing in the same age group and they came through together but both the Wiz and Reid have something in common …….. a mindset/attitude of all out attack to beat their opponent and to open up the game.
We are fortunate to have a coach that will allow the Wiz to play to his strengths. Recall the first practise game over summer and as soon as the Wiz touched the ball Sam was yelling out from the other side of the ground, “NOW DO YOUR THING TAKE IT ON”!

Last December was at a training and the same. Wiz was at half back in this drill ie wasn't running up from the forward line. The drill started from the Wiz or the other half back and was encouraged to look for gaps, draw players and go through the middle was often the choice. Sam was next to him and it was that late career Sam at half back type role. First sessions as a Hawk but these followed his other preseasons.
I think people can see the confidence as arrogance, it isn't. To start your career with the yips and end it with the yippees is pretty impressive.

I'll get hate for this but I want him arrogant.
I want him cocky, mouthy and hungry.
He needs to think of the opposition players like the witches hats he used to run circles around in the under 13s.
**** faux humility and give me Dermie Mk2.

I shouldn’t have said it isn’t, of course I am not at close quarters. Not against arrogance but as the first point said a lot of self confidence that is justified.
It was just a matter of time.

My son's favourite player - he absolutely loves 'The Lizard'
How many goals does he kick in 2025?
He managed 13 in his last 4 games, is 50 possible?
