    I remember being very excited in the stands telling my brother and a mate I thought he'd kicked 3 with his first 3 kicks - it was a great debut.

    Yep. A shame for him that his first game was clearly his best game and it was all down hill from there. He ecked out a couple more years at Carlton so more power to him.

    And possibly the worst kick he ever kicked in his life wobbled through for a goal to put Footscray in front in the last quarter of the 2014 VFL grand final. God knows what he was aiming at but thank god it went through. Or was that the foot cannon from SA whose name escapes me?

    If you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

    How quickly past drafting failures can be forgotten when reigning premiers is what we may call ourselves during the course of a preseason.

    I vaguely recall several shouts of "Sign him up!" as he ran off celebrating.

    Good weekend of games for some of ex's.

    7 goals between Jarrad Grant (3), Hrovat (2), Higgins (1) & Reid (1) in winning sides, even Tahleeya managed a game for Sydney.

    I'm still a bit gutted over the Hrovat trade.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Amen brother. I know the trade values were low across the board last year, but essentially just a third round exchange for Hrovat is way under what I perceive is his real value. In a team where he will play every week he should start to really bloom, and it's debatable where he would rank in our best 22/30 etc. Even Hawthorn in its dynasty had to let go guys who wanted more games like McGlynn, Kennedy, Savage, Ellis, Young, Suckling and many others. I guess that's the challenge of consistently recruiting very good players, if you keep nailing them then you have to lose some.

    Someone raised this on Twitter but had we known about the 3rd man up rule being changed prior to the trade period would we have preferred to keep Hrovat over Jong?

    It says a bit about a supposedly professional AFL Commission. It's making up rules as they go along.

    Jong only averaged 1.5 hitouts per game last year, I can't imagine that would be the difference

    Yep. Jong's real point of difference for us is his ability to run away from/out of packs bouncing the ball. If his decision making and kicking keep on improving he will be a very valuable player for us.

    He's big and strong and fast, he can win contests and then get clear from them with the ball pretty quickly.If he can deliver the ball into the forward line a bit more constantly after doing all that hard work he'll be touring everybody's facilities if we can't find a spot for him.
