I’m very excited for TJ. Hope he has a blinder. His family must be pinching themselves. From refugees to two AFL players - amazing.

I've only seen a tiny bit of the VFL this year so haven't seen his development. Really looking forward to watching him play on Sunday. Hopefully he starts on field.
If Oleg was under an injury cloud, I'd start him as the sub.
Good luck TJ!!

Great to see, have also been looking forward to seeing him progress. Really want this kid to succeed at the level. Rapid rise for him.

He was pretty stunned when Fly told him he's selected, which was fun to watch because I don't think they got the usual reaction.

I reckon he's better than he realizes & from a coach's perspective has loads of upside. Great move to bring him in for this game.

Congrats TJ & enjoy!! It's the Collingwood way :wink:

^Yeah, that was a great watch.

Well done, lad. Be yourself, embrace the opportunity and do your stuff surrounded by a fantastic team.

Another to make quick strides under Josh Fraser's tutelage, who in turn is no doubt under Fly's tutelage. Have we had a VFL side develop players this quickly before? Even though injuries have forced our hand, there's something special going on here.

Would you like them cut in quarters or halves? I won't do the running, if the hot spot was shown I'd be dragged by half time due to players becoming dehydrated.
I'll wash the jumpers after the game instead.

Who would have thought we'd see 6 debutants this year.

Go well young man.

I thought he played well for a first year player built like a toothpick.

Wasn't scared of putting his body on the line, tackled, did the 1%s and showed real composure with ball in hand.

Well done young man.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Tew imo is the best debutant this year. He is skinny and inexperienced, but his game ooozed AFL talent.

All day he tried to fit into what was going on out there, and didn't look out of place, as FLY mentioned, he will do some good things, and he did exactly that.

His acumen to play footy at a high level looked natural. Not just a stay at home back, he took the game on offensively, not just when he had the ball, but importantly when he didn't.

Looked to create overlap, ran into dangerous spaces. His F50 entry in the last resulting in a shot at goal is only scratching the surface.

Of course, Stevo looked the part too... I expected to watch his career unfold as a premier forward... but that didn't work out.

Hopefully Tew becomes what I expect.
