Nathan (Axel) Foley [MERGED]

Nathan Foley (41)
Enhanced his reputation with a fine showing in the midfield after starting on the bench. Had four inside 50s in the first term and finished with six for the match. Was Victoria's equal leading ball-winner at half time, before finishing with 21 touches. Also chipped in with a goal.

It was great to see him playing in good side. Reminded me of when teh Flea used to dominate State games, what a pleasure it must have been for foley to be surrounded by class. if he played for Geelong he would get rave reveiws ever week. he is a gun.
Grant Thomas spoke highly of Foley yesterday but like Hudson said something like "didn't look out of place". Tools the lot of them. And BTW claw did you watch the VFL game on saturday - Cotchin was great in the middle and roved very well. Also Coughlan had about 50% game time for 10 possessions some of which were in and under vintage coughlan. The future looks very bright.
Theres a Poll on Real footy (the Age) where you can vote for Axel as the best player for the exhibition match.

Thanks Bowdo...get voting PREnders. 
My Hawk supporting son watched the game in a bar in China. People of several nationalities were extremely impressed with Nathan's efforts in the game. From the glowing reports they'd all vote for him if they saw the poll.

Nathan Foley is a calssic example of why you need the Big V every two-three years. Three is about right.
Playing in that group, running around amongst that talent will be worth 40 normal games. I like what Robbo said about him on SEN today, "that he is fearless with the footy". Intresting to read what Bomber Thompson said in the paper to him, althoough Robbo clarifeid that it went along the lines of "suprised your here? well don't be, your tough and you get your own footy". Pumped him up in front of the group.
You just cannot measure what that is worth. Although after his exhibts Saturday night don't expect Bomber to let him break lines on Saturday arrvo. Cameron Ling will go to him. Good test for Axel. Best midfield of the comp and he is flying and has a bit of PR about him at the minute. We may learn a lot this week.
