Has he gotten bigger since joining ? He is a monster and one on one will beat most but is it some what a disadvantage to him as he is turning like a mack truck or is he just a little underdone and knee issue

Looks the same size to me he cant string 2 games together so his match fitness is no doubt a issue, last year he was quite mobile.

 

[Cadsky]

yep. if he could string 4-5 games together and get his match fitness back he will be kicking 3-4 goals a game. its critical that he stays in the team now to be fit for finals.

 

[Swansujelly]

he'll be better for the run. A bit of rust is expected.

Match fitness is lacking, extreme pressure game would have been hard to adjust to. He was marking strongly to begin with, a couple of games in a row and he will be right. Will be much better for the run

He will be right, he didn't seem to restricted by his knee on the weekend . I reckon is break before the bye would have done him a world of goo

True but I would have preferred he was subbed off and not Grundy

fair call.

We'll find out how his knee is this week. Last time we played Essendon he had to carry an extra 100kg as a backpack. Carrying Hooker around like that would put strain on anyone's knees.

Personally I thought it was amazing he came straight back in and performed as strongly and as well as he did.

He kicks straight we probably win - not that I am blaming him in any way shape or form for the loss.

I thought he tried very hard considering his lack of match fitness. His marking was good and his kicking was ok.

More games (hopefully he stays fit enough) and he will be a great contributor in September.

Fully fit no defender can go with him

The midfield need to get it down there one out


Would love tippett fully fit on shoenmakers with our mids on top

Would kick 10
