    Not at all worried about this. Let’s get him another 4 week block of footy (hopefully that starts again soon) and get him into the senior side. Sounds like he’s been doing the work on aerobic fitness the past few weeks. The little break may actually play to his advantage.

    I played with Maribyrnong at Digman Reserve for a couple of seasons. At training one night I talked to one of the other guys about legspin for 20 minutes. I learned more about it in those 20 minutes than I had learned in 25 years of bowling it.He was amazing.
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    I suspect he will land in the side within the next couple of weeks and it's going to be exciting for the supporters when he debut's.

    Basically it centred about walking through the crease in the delivery stride and not jumping at the point of delivery. Also dropping your shoulder to give the wrong 'un and top spinner a bit of a rip and really get it turning When you get it right you should know as the ball leaves your hand how it's going to go by the batsman's foot position and your follow through. He also showed me to bowl with a bit of a round arm to give the normal leggie a bit more loop through the air and make it drop on the batsman.

    Always happy to pass on some wisdom to a young bloke.

    I've played with a lot of clubs but I enjoyed my time at Digman more than I did nearly anywhere else. They were a great bunch of guys to play with.

    We would have definitely crossed paths on the field TD, I played at on the Digman reserve for over 20 years.

    Jon Ralph: His debut is off as far as ever. Needs to put 4-5 good games together.

    Maybe the pressure is off.

    Good.

    To answer the question in the title of the thread: right now, not very.

    How did he go yesterday? Was a first game back after five weeks, would expect that he'd need a couple of weeks.

    Is it possible that we may not see Marra play a game this year ? It wouldn’t surprise me.
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    Would need to improve a lot, but we may gift him one to show him the level required. No where near it on merit right now.
