Hmmmm......better check the replay again. The big long bomb into the forward line was marked by Crammer. And then he goaled. 3rd Q.

Unless you're talking about another kick?

Actually I was - the easy one when he got the handball from TB from the centre square infringement straight to Gumby...

You can't really fault the way he plays, he's hard at, takes the game on and is probably one of the best kicks in the league. Just think only two years ago we had Henry Slattery playing instead...

Just keeps getting better. Fast becoming one of my favourites.

That mark he took after the push from Swan was brilliant. Then he was straight on the attack. A vital part of our defence. He was missed last year when he went down with hamstring injuries, but seems to have had a huge preseason, and is really paying off. As has been said elsewhere on this board, he is in AA form at the moment.

Filled in for Fletch as the "go to" man due to his great left foot.

Full of admiration for this bloke and a special mention in dispatches for Bags who is very cool under fire and kicked well, apart from one blemish. In fact the whole backline were superb. Maybe we can survive when Fletch retires in 5 years!!
Too far for Baker now he's on to it, now he’s got it, OPEN GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Dons are in front by one point at the 8 minute mark

I'm obviously thinking about a different one, because they showed the one I was thinking of on the news and it was Gumby.

The great value we are getting from the Pig, together with a solid consistant performance from Bags, Demps going up several notches and yes, a good overall contribution from Hooker and we have a really solid back line even when the Old Bloke is resting up.

The drive we get from the Pig and Demps which sets up many of our thrusts into the forward line has been a feature of the year so far.

His poise is amazing considering he hasn't played 30 games. Over the last ten years we have so often failed on early promise, to deliver a genuine performer. In the last three we've had Heppel, Carlisle and now Pig elevate themselves so early.

How is he placed contractwise?
