Fast and ok skills.
But the football related problem solving speed of a slug.
I’m actually not that sure he is fast anymore. Sure he used to be but it feels like he’s got slower every year. Maybe he is just a little above average now which makes him look like the flash in our side.
He doesn’t seem to leave guys in his wake anymore like he did in his first few seasons. Against Carlton, might have been the third quarter he took possession between half back and wing with nothing but cut grass and brown/weitering between him and the goals. He didn’t even take one bounce but he could have taken three and probably had a shot. Instead he kicks it after a 10 meter dash, with brown running back to goal and weitering leaving his man and marking the 45 meter kick, by himself at half back.
Sure the reluctance to have a few bounces may have been a poor choice, but it says a lot about a player when they are scared to use their biggest weapon.
