Message: [QUOTE="Professor47, post: 2141301, member: 1831"] naw... but he will be a player of a differnet nature if everything goes according to plan. He could be somewhat of a 'Menzies' for the eagles in years to come (not a mega star by footballing abilities, but absolutely clinical to the team - the team would not be same without him), Only time will tell. Another Lockyer? No. I think if that was to happen, we would have seen something by now, or someone by now, the super stars from the young grades these days are the athletes, it's the nature of the game now I beleive, the ball players do not shine from the get go as much, I think it takes years for them to grow. Lockyer, Joey, altough they DID set the world on fire-ish when they debut (not the actual debut game but the blooding of them or whatever) it was a subdued sort of response, more along the lines of "we've got something here". Now its the Inglis-es who come on the scene, and everyone goes "this guy is a freak" because of the line breaks and athletic ability. It's totally different. I believe a young joey hitting the scenes right now would not shine as much as an Inglis who would hit the scene. The crowd demands an instant athlete. [/QUOTE]
