Dangers main strengths are his acceleration and his contested ball.
If (and that’s a big if) his acceleration is gone then he still has a massive strength in winning the hard ball.
We have only seen him play 2 games this year. A better judgement will be after the season is done.
I'm not really talking about his 2 games this year, I'm more reflecting on his last few years. He has carried us on his own shoulders many times, like Joel has done too, there's just too many times when he turns it over in bad spots and it has our defence scrambling. He can be very good hitting a moving target when he's on the move, he can be horribly woeful too. I actually like it when he needs to use his left foot, it seems to slow him down a touch and makes him concentrate on it.
When you maybe on your last chance of winning a flag, the less errors you make, the bigger chance you have of beating the best teams. The best teams punish you for your errors, Richmond has taught us that these past 4 years.
He has the potential to play a huge role in us winning the flag, he has the potential to go the other way too. It's just the latter I'd like to see minimised somehow.
