Was in our bests today as a mid. Looked the most dangerous player out of the centre. And doing repeat sprints for 20 minutes after the game!
Being good at VFL level doesn't always translate to AFL level as we too often see
Tony Braxton-Hicks
There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
He hasn't really been given that chance for any stretch. He needs an extended stint on the ball so he can feel at ease, unrushed, and get rid of the fumbles and indecision that he's prone to.
Apparently his Amazon Prime subscription was about to be cancelled, and his NBN account was overdue, he was eligible for a new environmental friendly shower head, and LED light bulbs.
Saw the first 2 and half quaters , found a bit of the ball as anyone who’s going to make the grade at AFL should playing midfield at VFL level , thought his endeavour was first class as it usually is , though again far from impressed by his ball handling and skills , however I see today as a very small step in the right direction
Never thought that it was possible for someone to out Georgie Georgie. But I reckon Moju managed to make Georgies efforts look like Silk Burgoyne at full pomp.
Never gunna bag the kid for effort or intent, he's trying plenty, but skills, balance n decision making were again mostly bloody abysmal.
Pleasing that he got plenty of mid field game and he needs to get a raft of game playing mid but there's something simply not working right for him lately. It's like he's trying to play every moment of the game at absolute full throttle and trying to find ten possible options all at the same time.

It's great that he managed to see plenty of the ball. I think that's the most important thing for him right now. Your mind can race in pressure situations and this leads to bad decisions and disposal. The more exposure he can get to feeling the pressure with ball in hand, the better he will get at dealing with it. First and foremost he needs to get his confidence up. I don't really think he is a midfielder but for the above reasons I think it's good for him atm. Personally I would let him play out the remaining 5 games in the 2s. He's contracted for 2024 and can give it his best shot next year.
MJ had a team high 7 tackles yesterday too.
Good to see him win some of his own footy.
Ultimately this midfield role would be about freeing his mind set & hoping it improves his offensive game.
Definitely a positive step.
It’s the role he played last season( I think) before coming back into the senior side and showing great improvement
Just took my shoes of as wellWill be burning some calories too. Fingers crossed for a similar result.
