Juffaricho said:Never seen him play at VFL so I love the selection because every time he has played at AFL level he has impacted the contest while playing in an unsuitable role.
I hope he gets a genuine go as an inside mid tomorrow night and not as a defensive forward or any other unsuitable role.
In all honesty he probably gets 1 chance at an inside role (I doubt they will say we will play you for a month - no matter what) and with all the attention that comes with a Friday night match this one game could make or break his AFL career. Play well, and maybe another club gets interested if he can't break into our midfield consistently.
But we need big strong bodies over the contest so I hope he ives at the bottom of the packs and shoots out those handballs to the runners after using that deceptively quick sidestep he has.
Good luck Matt. This is the opportunity you have been waiting for.

crap.St Kevin said:Yep. Can't believe he was re-rookied.
jokershoppe said:Arnott is sh!t, he isn't good enough to star regularly at vfl level, barely cracks 20 pocessions ever in vfl, slow and average skills, should of never given such a talentless footballer a spot on our list, one reason our vfl struggles has guys like Arnott aren, t up to vfl level, let alone afl.
Agree if he plays more than 3 games I will eat my hatSmoking Aces said:Suburban footballer. Should not be on our list. Staggering decision to elevate him.

Leysy is with Juffa. If Matt is played predominantly on-ball he will make a great fist of things. Will impact contest after contest.
However if he's given Morris' forward role will struggle.

Good luck Matt, I remember Hardwick talking you up when you were drafted, make it happen.
I'm with Leysy and Juffa. Never really been given a great chance to make a go of things. In the past Dimma's preferred players like Petterd and Thomas.Leysy Days said:Popular selection then. :hihi
