Welcome Derek Eggmolesse Smith

Very good game. Very sure with the ball.

Will be interesting to see how he goes when there is more heat in the game. But can't do any more than he did tonight.

Showed a lot tonight did Dekka.

Showed composure and tidy ball use last year also in his 2 outings.

Was composed again tonight used the ball very well and competed well and supported well with run.

Very good game outshone Short off half back for mine, and put one hand on the future HBF vacancy.

Will have plenty more opportunities this year.

Just kicked Pat Naish down the order for a HBF spot, Naishy might have to look at the wing.

Absolutely brilliant. Didn't put a foot wrong. Only low point was when he got out bodied by walker, but was never a chance and shouldn't have been put in that position.

Played very well & continues to improve. Those glimpses from last season are now developing.
He runs great angles & gets from contest to contest like the good running backs do. Top shelf disposal too & works well in traffic.
That said there will be tougher opponents to come.
Another who just needs to keep building fitness & professionalism cause right now there's no question he's next in line for Bachar's spot..

Kudos to Fly. Egg's been a long-term project with a few cracks appearing along the way. Whenever Egg had a great fall, Fly put him back together again.

I remember a couple of years ago in the vfl finals eggy couldn't hit the side of a barn.

Amazing how far he has come. I suspect it is now a question of professionalism and fitness as to whether he can become a 200 gamer, as he has all the tools.

Ironically a better kick than bachar.

Last line very apt

jeez if this is unfit unprofessional Eggs (scrambled?),

imagine what we've got when the penny drops (semi-poached then shallow fried in goose fat?)

I now understand why Tigerlove was so bullish last week about Eggy last week.

Fantastic game from him last night.
