In the 1st when he had 3 kick ins in a row and they all went to the same spot & came back again, I thought this bloke aint that good. He really improved after that though.

Is it too early to say we got him for a steal? Because after watching him play tonight I think we got him for a farking steal!
Gotta be impressed with all those you mentioned. Future back line looks solid.Very impressive game. Good to have some pressure on the backs like Cole, Nelson and Rotham. Would love to see if he could push on to a wing if Duggan doesn't move there.
Woah I can’t believe A5 = AvishkaWell said Avishka.
Especially when/if Johnson develops as an AFL backmanGotta be impressed with all those you mentioned. Future back line looks solid.
I could be wrong but i swear i heard him saying when traded he had hopes of pushing to a wing some day.
Agreed. I think we have drafted/traded well considering our position in the draft. Got to give the kids a few years in the system .Especially when/if Johnson develops as an AFL backman
The word has been about him being unaccountable but saw him lay a couple of great tackles tonight, and at least mixed-up the kick ins a bit too. Really liked what I saw.

Also he went crazy hard diving to spoil a mark. He didnt make it but he hit that contest hard and made them earn the kick.
At one stage I was impressed with Witho's decision not to try a kick that wasnt on. He looked, thought about pulling the trigger, stopped as it was too risky and instead went l9ng downthe LEFT wing for a safer option.
That is where he needs to develop, decision making. When to go and when to play safe.
Or they just enjoy having commentary with the game?
Not for me personally, but who cares how others enjoy the game?
No need to be a flog about it tbh
At only 22 he has a bright future ahead of him with us.
Rare to have such good footskills the decision making will only improve with games under his belt, I have no doubt that he will improve big time.
Kid has some composure about him and thats another real asset.
I was more impressed by that than his kicking.If he can maintain that level of tackling and spoiling pressure throughout his career we’ll be laughing
I just liked the kicking, got to see his LEGS! but yes, the tackling display showed off the arms as well. Some good limbs on that bloke.I was more impressed by that than his kicking.
Link doesn't work unfortunately. I assume this is an image of Simmo draping Alex with the Worsfold Medal at the end of the season.
