#43 Charlie Dean

[K]

Good luck, Charlie!

McFly:
“It’s a great story, Charlie’s last couple of years have been struck down by injury, the foot just kept re-injuring and this time last year he got ruled out for the whole year.
“The things you don’t see is staring at that black line in the pool and limping around from trying to regain that belief in your body.
“He’s done a power of work, he’s physically stronger than he’s ever been.
“He’s a great system player. We’re confident that you’ll see a guy that plays Collingwood style, and he gets an opportunity and we’re really, really happy for him.”

Well done James.
Hoping for a giant of a game from him and not a car crash.

I don't expect a lot from Dean. He is coming from a long way back, and it's his first AFL game.
I think the player we see tonight is going to vastly different a few games down the line.

Yes Charlie one of the few highlights for the VFL pies yesterday. Was very strong at FB and saved us an even more embarrassing loss many times.
Looks a cut above some of the VFL forwards and will deserve another AFL spot soon if needed.
I'm sure he will look better too in a few weeks time when Eyre and Sofrinidis make it back.

[think better]

With Howe now out Charlie is timing his run perfectly - should be an AFL start for him next week

perfect timing to put on a good display in the 2s.

all the best!!
