another clutch goal as big as the one he kicked against geelong, Another piece of play where he checked his handball that was covered and went the underground clearing kick, the bloke has tonnes of poise.

Lets look at the attributes he has displayed so far-
Can get the ball? ✓
can use it? ✓
decision making? ✓
set shot from 50? ✓
snap from 40? ✓
vision ✓
Doesn't tick the 'panic at any opportunity' box. Delist.

Let's just not go over the top here.

Bastinac, Atley, Harper and even Lmac have done this when they've shown something in the first handful of games. And everyone here goes nuts. All the mentioned players have developed only slightly or gone backwards.

Let's not get our hopes up until he can keep this up and develop like Cunnington.

I don't think anyone is going nuts, it just highlights how underwhelming so many other players are at this point in time.

Loved the goal he bombed from 50m. It's definitely important to be optimistic about the youth in a middle of the road side like we are. Just hoping kids like froggy can develop like the Duncans, shields and parkers do for Geelong hawks and Sydney continuously do.
