He's definitely capable of very good play. Reckon a lot of his errors are due to the taxing role he's asked to play.
If his fitness is down then that's probably amplified some of that. Still like Cumberland you need to be exceptional to be a specialised forward in the AFL.
Ummm baulk generally means to hesitate or be reluctant to do something, in sporting terms it's often used to describe a side step to avoid contact or create space. Think ya mighta been looking at bulk, which if ya reckon Moju's unfit would be considered as fat n chunky.
There’s no team rule or role restriction that prevents MoJu from picking up the ball. He is free to pick up the ball. He’s just struggling with this.
Play the kids! Play the kids! We did that with Maurice. Did it help?
Maurice is short on development. And confidence. He’s had an injury interrupted year. And form issues as well.
Btw our youngster is not usually at his best first week in the Magoos. He’s young, remember.
Why do coaches play forwards back? Why have they done that for decades? Mainly to get the ball in their hands. You get three touches minimum at hbf for every one you get in a forward pocket.
Maurice should be getting time in the guts at VFA level and learning to sit behind the ball. If he still can’t get it after a month he goes to hbf.
Pick up the ball, Maurice. And again. And again.

Bobby Hill was an early 2nd rd pick who is 2 years older than MRJr. He struggled for a game last year at the Giants. Shows things can turn around quickly.
Yep
Oleg Markov is the perfect example
Now being played to his strengths, as Bobby Hill is
Let me know when and if you find out Junior’s strengths as I am battling to find them . Tackling maybe one, although the AFL don’t reward the tackler much anymore
Is definitely super quick off the first 10mtrs. Yes isn’t super quick if u comparing him to U. Bolt.
People have lost their minds here. He was awesome last year. Hugely important player. See

Unfortunately he is rubbish this year, along with Sonsie and Cumberland. A big reason we have struggled. He has the talent, but we need to get these guys performing again!!

Fair to say his level of fitness is not where it should be
There is a reason for that !
The way those 3 have declined is puzzling we're best 22 last year our development has been poor to. MJ needs to get fit and use his footy smarts let's him down fitness and conditioning big iissue.Sonsie needs to lift his work rate not just coasting around.
His supposed pressure was well hidden tonight. Needs to stay in VFL to learn
