Travis Johnstone probably the last player I saw similar skills from.

Yze? Anyway it's a shame he's missed so much footy. It's almost been forgotten how slick he is.Travis Johnstone probably the last player I saw similar skills from.

Maybe besides Dusty and Bont, the indigenous players are the only one's making this game worth watching right now. Rankine will be a star. The Suns will have a dynasty up there. The AFL seriously f**ked up giving them so many handouts last season. What a joke!Travis' pick ups off the deck were amazing, I dunno, Yze was good at it also, but Johnstone could do it a full tilt in the same manner Harley can and weave onto either his right or left foot no problem.
Just watching that first goal from Rankin too, fu** it's good. Picks it up off the deck then he crosses over Harmes so bad he leaves him clutching at air, amazing what some of the aboriginal players can do.
The salary cap could eventually squeeze some of their talent out, like GWS face most years now, but this year has shown how good King, Rowell, Rankine and Lukosious can be. Keep those together with Anderson, Collins etc and they'll be contending.Maybe besides Dusty and Bont, the indigenous players are the only one's making this game worth watching right now.

Just watching the highlights on YouTube, some of Bennell's pickups off the deck are stupendous, nothing like I've seen for a long time from anyone on our list.
Can't wait til he starts hitting his straps, the flashes of class are still well and truly there.
Said it in the review thread, he was moving so slow but he still bought himself some time with how clean he picked up the ball. As soon as it hit his hand it was his. Compare him to the fumbles of AnB or BrayshawJust watching the highlights on YouTube, some of Bennell's pickups off the deck are stupendous, nothing like I've seen for a long time from anyone on our list.

Perhaps you're right maybe it's the way he can hold the ball with one hand reminded me of yze. Now that I think about it he kind of reminds me of Jared Brennan in that sense as well.Travis' pick ups off the deck were amazing, I dunno, Yze was good at it also, but Johnstone could do it a full tilt in the same manner Harley can and weave onto either his right or left foot no problem.

He really looks to be worried about pinging the calf going 80% or more, which is kinda fair enough at this stage. Expect him to improve week by week if we can keep him out there.
Yeah, I'll accept him being a bit tentative on sprinting with his history. Still went when he needed to and so clean off the deck.He looks like he’s going at 60-70%, but the way he plays, it seems like he just has so much more time than everyone else. I was smiling so much when he kicked that goal, the way the team got around him too was awesome to see.
They are ******* plebs, we have been crying out for class finishers. Some players you give a pass to on defensive efforts coz they offer far more than anyone else can offensively.You'd be full of sh*t if you thought he's added even 5% more defensive side to his game haha. Coaching staff are morons for keeping him out of the side if that was the actual reason

Mate, his defensive pressure is absolutely unrecognisable from before being dropped.
He's a completely changed player.
BIG TIME.
I'm sensing BIG TIME © is what Headless wants his new catch phrase to be?
It's a blessing and a curse.
Perhaps that's been the problem for the last 18 months an obsession with 18 man defense. It might be a good thing that forwards I dunno stay forward. Every team plays 18 man defense maybe it's time to try something different. How often do you watch games where a team stops going forward because they're waiting for a player to run into forward space.You'd be full of sh*t if you thought he's added even 5% more defensive side to his game haha.
