Is 9 clearances a PB?

Seems to be taking his footy really seriously.

I like.

Was really good today and was singled out by the coach post match for social praise. In particular, all the things his does outside of the standard indicators. Coaches loves him and I can understand why. Hard, tough, relentless, gives everything he has and more, makes life easier for every other team mate

He needs to back it up week after week.

With Jackie out it's his best chance.

Easier said than done. The amount of battering that he has taken for the team in the last two weeks is extreme. Ideally, he should be rested for next week, especially given the size of the ground on which we are playing. But I'm sure he would be the last to suggest that.

I know it may seem trivial, but I think the hair is really symbolic.

He's cut out the stupid coiff, gone lean and mean and taken on the responsibilities of leadership.

I'm proud of him.

And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf--
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children's teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.

Its a real issue if a player needed a rest after only 2 games of footy. Lenny has done it for 15 years without a rest, im sure Armo can it as well.

Armo is not the type to ever want a rest!

His mark in the 1st quarter is an early contendor for mark of the year. And he kicked a goal from that mark. Great to see our mids hit the scoreboard.

So far, he has certainly lifted from last year- a tough nut. Let's hope that he can keep it going - we need him a lot right now, without Jack being there.

Tough and hardworking, great bloke to have as your number 5 or 6 midfielder.
Unfortunately for him and us he is going to have to play as our number 1,2 or 3 unless one of the young blokes jumps out suddenly.

He is exactly what we need along side the kids. Nathan Jones was intent on using his body to intimidate our kids- Armo had him looking over his shoulder instead.

All we need now is a couple of quick, outside carriers. Jack coming back will help and if Savage can lift, our midfield will start to look pretty decent. One more draft should complete the picture, given we already have potential mids in Ross, Markworth, Acres, Murdoch and Billings on the list. Even if only a couple of those become effective regulars, things will look good. Now if only we could snatch another Riewoldt from somewhere!

As somebody else alluded to...he looks like he's gone to a higher level of professionalism.

Some were suggesting we trade him I'm thinking more along the lines of making him our next captain after Roo decides its time. Leads by example not flashy just hard and relentless.

Many were convinced that he had no more room for improvement. I think he has proven those doubters wrong. Will do so definitively if he puts in another couple of consecutive good performances against better sides.

He has even tried to run and spread, which isn't his greatest asset, but he's trying in jacks absence.

Big tick.

I'm proud of him, even though that's a weird emotion for someone I don't know.

You don't need to be the best player to be the captain but you do have to lead by example and Armo has this in spades.

Not sure he has until most recently, but agree he is blossoming
