[Petrify]

Has to be a mainstay in the midfield next year. Offers something our mids don't have. SPEED & Ground ball gets.

 

[Doss]

His strength and poise around the contest really took off in the closing weeks of the season.

One of the few things we can have some positivity on.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Is this man Lachie Neale in disguise? Cleanest hands at ground level at the club. He’s not doing too much front and centre stuff up forward but his work up the ground is elite. I’m wondering how long until we make the midfield move.

 

[naraku]

The way he finished the season was impressive and incredible. Kudos to him.

 

[bombreys]

Bloody lucky they changed the rules to allow us access to this kid.

 

[KeenObserver24]

Not sure if it’ll be next year or the one after but this kid at some stage is absolutely gonna take off.

 

[Vindicater]

Taken with a grain of salt but was top 150 in the champion Data rankings for the year. Very good effort for a first year player.

 

[NAB777]

Like his hands a lot. Not sure he will ever have the tank to be more than a pinch hitter in the midfield; he's built like a power athlete.
It will be interesting to see how he goes if we ever field a semi-full line up.

Really love when the guys take their mums to the brownlow. Just a lovely gesture after all the support they would have given them in junior footy

 

[windyhill]

To play every single game. To bust his nuts in a complete shit show. Well played young man. ****ing impressive.

One of the few highlights and shows massive character and leadership.

Never once gave up.

Not only did he play every game, he got better as the year went on and peaked at the end of the season when youngsters usually fall off.

100%
I'm looking for positives.
He provided it in spades.
****ing ripper Kak.

 

[cobra land]

Also showed that he can chop out in the midfield and gave us that dash out of centre clearances that is eye catching and game changing.

Copped some stick from some on here for not kicking enough goals but geez he worked his socks off and his forward pressure was outstanding.

Also, how many first season players who aren't drafted as a mid can go into the middle and look comfortable?

fun reminder that people were calling for him to be dropped from the team throughout the middle of the season

 

[LB#16]

Helping to build the culture

 

[jannissary]

signed on til 29

 

[NAB777]

From all I am hearing about his pre-season, this is a very good extension.

 

[VelvetSledge]

Had a massive pre-season, his work alongside Huss has been incredible too. Massive extension, stoooooked

With faster ball movement he will become so much more dangerous around goal too.

Not a mainstay......but a lever to pull when we need some X factor in there. Or to throw in there late in quarters when opposition is tired.

 

[Clark G]

Hoping for a 30 goal season this year.

 

[astrowizzle]

He is gonna be a super star this kid.
