Welcome Derek Eggmolesse Smith

So did I (and Phil Egan and Trevor Larkins if anyone remembers him from his 4 games in 1985 - top fella).

Odd note about the Sunraysia league: Wentworth, who wear Footscray jumpers, are the Kangaroos. South Mildura (Tarrant's mob) wear Geelong jumpers and are the Bulldogs. Robinvale wear reverse Swans jumpers, and are the Eagles.
cheers
 
4 years in the system and still has the build of a suburban footballer. Clearly has some talent but until he reaches the levels of professionalism required, he won’t be able to consistently play at the level we saw against North.
 
I like what I see mostly... great foot skills, good hands and gets to where the ball is at. He is certainly not an inside player and I hope his creativity as a defender continues to develop, most of all... his defensive work needs to go up a few notches IMO.

You cant be a defender and not like contact.
Move him to the wing.

Last week he played with freedom, last night I think he second guess every disposal he had. Behind the goals camera angle last night, showed few times look for a quick pass, stop, look elsewhere, stop, look back to the first option, it was no longer on, back to the second, nope, and then just kicked short.
 
I think the giants deliberately targeted him and shut him down. Showed efforts to try to get into the game.

Big learning curve for the kid, can only be better for the game.
