Watching the replay during the week Maurice was the reason Yeo did his hammy again. Just blistering pace.
That speed & pressure will be important again today.

My 8yo son got a pic and autograph with Maurice last night at training. I have a pic with his old man when I was a similar age to my son. Pretty special when you think about it. I love MJ.

That’s priceless
Look for a good double photo frame - and buy two. Then the the prints done.
Mount one in the office or whatever - and the other one for his room (and he keeps when he eventually moves out)

I love that BT24, thanks for sharing.

Did you bring the photo of you and Maurice senior to show MJ?

That’s awesome BT. Be great to frame the two, as another poster suggested, and hang them proudly somewhere.

That’s great Bris.
My son took a picture and my wife last week at the Captains Run with MRJ.

Infectious smile.

Talent untapped.
 
Should persevere but he must improve offensively. 3 touches isn’t acceptable. No forward can survive solely on defensive pressure.

He’s been gifted a few goals too in recent weeks. I want to see him win more of his own ball & use it. We’ve seen glimpses. Not sure if he’ll make it. Hoping more than anything as our talent well is limited.

He just frightens the oppo with his hunt. Need a partner for him who is prepared to work that hard. No way we should drop him.

Should have had Stack playing with him the last 3 games. We would have won all 3. On the MC. Putrid selections

Defensive game was good, didn't get enough of it, but thats the life of a small forward some days, but what he must do is kick those goals when he gets a chance. I've had digs at Castagna and Aarts on here, but MRJ missed a soda on a slight angle 25 out too. When he doesn't get that many touches, he simply must finish it off when he does get one. Brilliant play by Shai to get it to him, and then butchers the shot. Needs to be better than that.
