What sort of numbers do you expect from a young fella playing out of position in the forward pocket?If he had better football iq he would get in better positions to get more of the ball to cover over his lack of fitness
There are plenty of talented players that lack fitness and can find the ball more than 9 times a match
6 disposals, 2 tackles & 2 goals
5 disposals, 2 tackles & 1 goal
8 disposals, 2 marks & 1 goal
15 disposals, 5 marks & 1 goal
I know stats don't tell a full story but fu** me if he was one of your best either (a) your performances were more sh*t than I realized or (b) he must be the most impactful player of all time
It's always been a case of waiting for his tank to develop before putting him in the midfield. This year was the year it was going to happen.
Had he not done his acl in preseason we'd likely not be having this conversation right now.
