Aliir Aliir backed away from him pretty quickly early on Saturday night.

Said it before, but we likely have a Jake King Mk 2. Its not out of line to suggest he will be better skilled too.
A bit quieter today but still cracked in hard as he always does without getting on the end of many disposals.
Noticed some of his detractors on the game day thread potting him since it was the first time they could do so legitimately after an 8 week stretch of solid football.

MR Invisible! Zero score, zero tackles. Some games he shows a bit and other times he's Houdini.
I was at the game so don't know about the potting but 8-week stretch come on BT that's a bit of a stretch
I think he's been ok last month and had his best game last week V Port with 3 goals.It was inevitable once he had a poorer game, he has a lot of haters. Has been really good for at least the previous 6 games. He's playing one of the toughest positions to be consistent yet he is our 2nd highest goal scorer for the season, sadly that's only 17 goals.
We miss Rioli Junior, more so his frenetic pressure. Even in Mansells 3 goals last week, he had only 12 pressure acts and today 13
Mansell he's a trier I'll give him that but he doesn't have good running patterns for a small forward and doesn't possess any real forward craft.
At one time we had an influx of small classy forwards, Dan Rioli 2017, Butler, Higgins, Stengle
Green looks likely and has much upside.

I think he's had a very good season. I think there is room for improvement but 17 goals for a small forward is a solid return for a small forward.
Fair enough, but I dont think Mansell has that much improvement in him he isn't a natural forward it doesn't come easy for him.
Bobbie Hill, and Jamie Elliott they ooze forward craft. Shai Bolton does too but he's also playing midfield.
Guess we need to look at a few more classy small forwards. Not like they grow on trees
Hawks have added Watson the wizard but pretty sure he was a pick 5 and ginnivan has been good for them.
Well Rioli Junior will have to improve on his VFL effort today. Atm all we have in that forward line is triers. I agree Green looks like a far more natural forward than either MRJ or Mansell. And he topped pressure acts with 25. Campbell not far behind with 21. Graham is by far our best pressure act player imo.
Got to cut Junior some slack first game back in 2 months. Just happy he got through the game. We all know when he's match fit he's chasing and harassing no stop.
Sure, I'm just saying on a 3 or 4 disposal game he's not going to be rushed back in. Pickett wasn't much better. We had 8 AFL listed players in the VFL today, the most in a long time and lost to the bottom team that hasn' t won a game in months. Very disappointing.
The Pies lost last week to the Blues who are 19th by 88 points. Today the boys should've won let a golden opportunity slip, disappointing loss.
I think Mansell could play that role. Play tough and tight. Just stop the oppo's best mid getting a gazillion touches.
Not a good game today with only 8 disposals and was largely anonymous. A big difference in Rhyan's game from last week. No player can afford to have such variances in his game if he wants a future at the highest level
He hadn't played for 2 months. How did Lynch go first game back v Hawks for dustys 300th, 4 disposals and 2 marks
Well, I am hence why I gave you a comparison from a long layoff. You can't expect to dominate. Junior was showing very good signs before his injury
