Liked his game tonight. Has improved immensely and his spot seems to be in that backline with those long penetrating kicks clearing the ball.

Keep it up Jimmy!!!

GO SAINTS!!!!!!

Amazing transformation. I...don't know where he's come from.

But I'm not complaining!

I gotta admit, there were times when I was watching this game and I was asking myself, has this bloke became an A-Grader?

Kudos to SainterK and her fellow football visionaries who back Jimmy when most of us had given up on him...

During times when everyone else seemed panicky and rushed, Jimmy Gwilt was the calmest of them all. Nice work Gwilt, you've grabbed your chance with both hands and haven't let go. Keep it up!

Growing into his body and throwing it around some.

There is a moment late in the third or early in the fourth quarter where he absolutely ragdolls Rob Murphy...was completely irrelevant as Murph disposed of it...but he would have felt it.

If he can sustain this level of improvement, along with a few more of our B graders we may be able to take the next step...

Some of Gwilt's movements and evasive skills were almost Dal-like tonight.

His confidence is obviously through the roof and it's showing.

For mine, confidence has been a great challenge for Jimmy.

Look - Out.

Very good game from the fro. Gone past some established players IMO.


Maybe this year?

Not to mention his speed bursting out of a pack.

He is willing to take the game on!!

The biggest highlight for me is that a couple of years ago if he made a few mistakes early his head would drop and he would struggle for the rest of the game. Tonight he got off to a shocker of a start and then turned it around and was one of the best.

Not an A grader, but sure as heck starting to cement his spot.

His run and carry, even for a few short steps is so important to the team and his confidence.

You really do feel confident when the Patchwork Quilt has the ball in his hands these days. Well done Jimmy!

always loved him. even last year - the only real negative/criticism was he didnt get involved enough which was probably a bit of a confidence thing. but when he did get involved he rarely if ever made a mistake.

now hes doing what he did well last year but much more often. certainly getting more confident and reading it better and getting involved.
really stepped up now. expect to see him every week for the next 5 years from now on.

You just can't have all those attributes and not make it....I am just so happy for him that it's all come together :D

Credit to the fitness staff who I think have changed his program this year, he seems to be running out the games so much better.

Spot on CG... had a lot of supporters on his back last year because he didn't get x amount of kicks per game or y amount of goals... but as a third tall, thought he was very good for our structure through first half of 2009... pretty hard to have a big impact playing this role (similar to what a lot say about McQualter)... really rapt for him that he's delivering again this year.

No doubt - has come on leaps and bounds and is taking the game on - loving it when the ball is in his hands - beautiful kick and seems cool under pressure - will only get better
