          It's a good reward for a player how answered the challenge. He still needs to make a significant improvement again though by getting fitter and more mobile. He's a good decision maker and he uses the ball pretty well.

            I'm hoping he shows as much commitment to this preseason as he did to the last one, and thus improves just as much again.

              Hopefully he saw how Hooper returned after being elevated and doesn't take his spot on the list for granted.

                Well done to him, just reward for his efforts. As others as said, hopefully he has got a few more levels in him. Will be one to watch over the pre-season, here's hoping he trains hard and gets an opportunity early in 2012.
                Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?

                  thats awesome news. out of all the guys i know that have played or gone close to playing AFL, i think panos is the one that stands out as having the potential to be a genuine superstar.
                  This is what one of my mates, a Rostrevor College graduate, said about Matty. Panos was in the year below us at school but my mate knew him a bit.

                    You should be managing him GVGjr!

                    This is exactly the advice he needs. He has done the hard yards and got on the list, but he's only part of the way there to becoming a player

                      I'm really happy with this decision. He was an absolute stand out towards the end of the VFL season so it's great to see the rewards for making those improvements. It's going to be a lot more hard work to get to the next level and I'm confident he can do it.

                        Very salient points . Deserves his shot, now the hard work starts

                          Great news - a fan of his. Much work to do, but he has the tools.

                            Super impressed with his last month of the VFL season. Excellent news for Matt, here's hoping he can continue to improve.

                              Well done to Panos, lets hope he keeps up the same work rate, realises the job is not even half done and goes on to become a great player for us.
