That 25 meter shot that hit the post was high class. About up there with his failure to make the distance from 40 earlier in the year.

Yeah not a good kick was it. Notice anything else about his game?

 

[scottywiper]

Can't fault his work ethic and endeavour, but I struggle to see an elite quality that will help him emerge as a long-term AFL player.

Yeah i don’t like potting the young blokes, but his supposed “off the charts footy IQ“ looks a fair way off to me.

All I'm saying is can't he just spend a few weeks , just a few weeks in the forward line at VFL level?
I feel like he could be a patch Adams type but I don't know what I'm seeing atm

Patch with a dysfunctional forwardline ahead of him and with his skills a bit rusty.

 

[Psicosis]

How anyone can criticise his first half in particular is beyond me. Dropped off in the second but it was probably the best half he’s put together.

He isn’t a pure forward. He’s a mid/forward.

 

[sruss]

Did a few really nice things, crowd around me noticed them a couple of times and gave him a big cheer. So far from our worst - didn’t dominate but also did not play a bad game.

thats cos he doesnt have one

 

[shinboner magic]

Needs to be cleaner if he’s going to make it.

I’d argue that his 15-40m field kicking & his footy IQ are both elite/capable of becoming elite.

 

[The Nostradamus]

he has no penetration in his kicks - exactly like hrovat

the similarities are uncanny and that type of player wont thrive in the modern game

 

[Hazey1977]

I really do admire his effort and tenacity. Truly.

It's just not enough though.

The amount of times his opponent ran away from him out of a contest or he chased 5 meters behind a Crow with no impact on the disposal...he tries hard but he's just got little in the way of weapons to put the effort to good use.

It says a lot that 2 or 3 clean handballs in traffic have people saying it was a good game, great improvement etc.

He remains a liability.

He's no Robinson Crusoe in watching blokes run off.... Seems to happen to or whole team!

Agree with this - I’d like to see the pressure act stats as I thought he was one of our best in this area in the first half to the eye.

19 yo with 15 games experience.

But, but isn't he our brownlow hope? Some of these comments are a joke I think

Yeah he’s slow like a few in our team unfortunately and it’s just the way it is

his lack of height coupled with that makes for physical limitations.
And then his ball use is poor means he’s bringing very little to the table

 

[Zondor]

He was Crafty again today. :stern look

 

[GreatBradScott]

Can't see him as a best 22 type, but likely a squaddie unless he breaks out. Still crazy young though.

 

[Arthur Cloke]

Total bust as a pick. Anyone here who thinks otherwise has been sniffing their hair for too long.
And to think we extended his contract???
Dead-set comedy hour

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Now the VFL is up and running he'll get his chance next week and go spend some time with some similar frames. Can't fault his endeavour but he's lagging skill wise and now looks like he has no confidence at all when holding the ball.

 

[Roosurgence]

Getting close to list clogger territory.

For a bloke so small, isn’t quick enough, isn’t strong enough and now wasting it when getting it.

Won’t write him off yet, but not looking good.

 

[gokangas]

Made some terrible blues tonight but I'm not giving up on him yet.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Not to put too hard a point on it, he's pretty much six months older than Will Phillips and four over Powell and in a year he hasn't had the luxury of being dropped anywhere. I'd hate to think he reads any of the stuff said about him.

 

[King Corey]

Tries hard, not up sure to much so far.

 

[Swallow_Wood]

Could do with a year or two of VFL football. Certainly not on his Pat Malone in that regard.
