Can’t underestimate what the Gresh Prince has done for our forward line…

hes a more productive Will Snelling. Queit and unassuming that is getting more from his touches

A sneakily good game again yesterday. Could have ended in the votes if he'd kicked his two behinds.

4th in total goal assists across the whole AFL

Agreed. Just needs to capitalise on some of those gimmies.

He has been very under the radar and good for us.

We just need more scoreboard impact from him.

Just needs to take a second to set himself. Keeps just throwing it on the boot and hoping.

We chased him and brought him across. I think he feels the pressure to score. You can see it in his body language.

I just want him to relax a bit. Hit targets up, present, defend hard and when he's on the end of them have a crack at it. If he's doing those first three things every week, the other will come. And other guys will be scoring off his hard work.

 

[mcgrath_truther]

he does everything well except converting/giving the ball off. if he played slightly less selfishly he'd be a high impact player. he had the opportunity to pass off one of his behinds for an easier setshot.

i do agree with the notion that he's trying his best to impress right now, but he's certainly not droppable. he provides a very good entry into f50 and is good up the ground. he doesn't set the world alight with leg speed but when he's got a lead on opposition he really hasn't been caught often this season

 

[Runk]

Seems to come in and out of that balance between his natural game and what Brad is asking of him, that said he's been great so far this year and I've been super impressed with him.

 

[gillon]

Think he should play a bit more deep if Langers is out. Menzie/Davey will give you maybe a goal a game at best. This guy can kick a bag on his good day.

 

[MiguelM]

Doesn't impact the scoreboard enough for mine.

 

[Ambrosia]

Really dislike it when he burns blokes to kick long to an outnumber.

 

[faible]

kick long to an outnumber.

This seems to be our i50 strategy, so maybe he's doing what's asked of him!

I thought we didn’t go long enough at times against GC. So many turnovers at the HFF that just got picked off and transitioned for scores.

Aren’t many teams who can defend turnover from CHF

Up until this game his kicking into 50 was great and he just lacked composure kicking at goal. Unfortunately yesterday his kicking to others was also rushed

 

[Pweter]

Loved the play in the 4th where he risked getting brought down to power through congestion, getting the handball to Cox for a goal. **** doing dinky handballs to players under serious heat, just take the bull by the horns and see what happens. It was like it almost surprised the GC defenders which bought him a tiny bit of time to make the play.

Yep. Probably his worst game for us. Kicking was poor and his pressure acts and goal assists where well down.

150th coming up after the break v the Eagles!
