George upgraded

[Barnzy]

Those are some gaudy numbers. He certainly has far exceeded expectations for a first year rookie in terms of ball winning ability. Generally kids picking up those numbers so early on invariably turn into good players.

Jason Castagna (33 disposals, 15 contested possessions, seven clearances)
Again was very impressive, playing off half-back and through the midfield. Won plenty of contested ball and also provided good run-and-carry. Continues to show really exciting signs for the future.

Alternatively Castagna is showing some good signs. If he can just tidy up his disposal and not rush it..

That's stat line is incredible for a first year player and even more impressive for a rookie. I normally expect a rookie to show he can contribute at VFL by the end of year one. George has gone above that by dominating a game. Year one a raging success.

Looked very good in the Nab Cup, and if he was on the main list earlier would have cracked it for a game or two.

At a guess might be given a taste of it v Essendon

True Carts.. Fitness, conditioning and experience.

Yep, them three will do wonders for most young players.

Perhaps even a smokey for Sat if he has dominated so well in a losing team

 

[Leysy Days]

Will be a ripper player.

Had some great attributes to work with at draft time. Real point of difference for our squad as well.

George has totally surprised me. I didn't rate him at junior level and thought he was the weakest pick of our haul last year.

His adaptation to VFL level has been nothing short of outstanding.

By the sounds of it, definitely a big tick for our dev coaches :thumbsup
