Welcome to the WBFC - Toby McLean

[F'scary]

I am on the Tobe McLean bandwagon too. Very impressive first full game. To me, it appears he has so much talent that in a season or two he will be talked about generally as being in the Liberatore, Bontempelli class of player in our team. Big call but he ticked all the boxes: ball handling, vision, disposal skills by hand and by foot, g&d, reading of the play..oh, and marking - very sure pair of hands - creates a clear point of difference with most players of his size.

I've got a name for the bandwagon. The Magic Roundabout.

Could consume a few shrooms and go on The Magical Mystery Tour. I'm happy to be the Walrus.

I hope Apple Records sued for copyright infringement. That's The Beatles IP.

Hunter looks as good as trade bait right now. Magic's pass to Dale was one of the best kicks I've seen this year, I can't believe he dissected about 3 or 4 defenders to hit Dale up. There's a bit to like about both those kids.

And they were waiting for it too, daring him to try.

If he and Webb continue to develop as players and kicking skills, we've years of great accurate kicking into tall forwards to watch. Hawthorn have shown more than anything that foot skills can underpin various gameplans. Giddy up.

He looks a lot cleaner than Hrovat and Hunter and are all fighting for a similar role. Only a small sample size, but is another of Dayls pics that improved significnatly in his under 18 year and so far looks to be able to transfer that to AFL level.

I'm happy to take front row seats on the Toby 'Magic' McLean bandwagon.

I dare say by the end of the year it'll be fairly crowded.

Agreed. I thought he was sensational on Saturday night. I was impressed.

Great game from the youngster.

Haven't we unearthed some talent in McLean, Webb and Dale plus all the positive reports about Daniel and Z Cordy.We potentially have 5 players that will slot into the team once some of the older heads retire. Rare to find a draft where you find 5 players that have shown something so early (sure Cordy hasn't played a senior game and Daniel has only played a couple of preseason games but the reports from the VFL seem to suggest they will make the grade).

Loved this kids game tonight. It was like watching his highlights reel from his 18s year. Really clean partiiculary in a tight contest, good vision actually good decision making all round and neat by foot. He lacks a yard of pace but it doesn't matter when your a natural footballer.

3 score assists from 4 I50s. Cant teach that

[bornadog]

Really lifted in the third quarter and had a very good 2nd half. May earn himself a rising star with that performance.

Good post Kruder, Yes I'm on the magic bus too. I actually think he looks reasonably quick - or perhaps that's his footy smarts showing. Looking forward to a big speckie mark soon too.
