Contract Status: Unrestricted Free Agent 2024
My Boy Draft 2024: Pick 27, Highly Evolved

 

[DERO]

He looks 10 years younger.

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

What would it take for him to get a haircut too?

 

[Lore]

He looks 10 years younger.

More like a scarecrow and less like a caveman too.

I'd say he has more brain than a scarecrow though... and probably more heart than a tinman too.

I don't know Lore, he apparently microwaves his steak.

probably a good thing I didn't compare him to the lion

That would've been a missed steak.

And pants that don't look....like....that....

The hairdresser asked if he wanted to get it cut but was confused by his ambiguous answer.

As soon as I read that I could just hear in my mind "yeah, nah"

 

[Mad Bomber Sean]

What a bloody legend this bloke is. Good on ya Dyson.

 

[Ambrosia]

Overall he was very good but he had a 2 or 3 absolutely horrendous turnovers that cost us big time.

When we're running the ball in waves I think he needs to look to give the hands to runners more.

 

[Haychh]

We're now at the point where we just take this guy for granted. Was outstanding on Saturday night and has really picked up his inside game.

If we pick up a solid inside bull this offseason to help him out watch his game go to another level next year.

He's been huge, will move into the top 10 on the coaches votes leaderboard after this week.

 

[blitzer]

He's been pretty awesome the last 8 games or so. I dare say if he'd been playing like this the entire year he'd be in AA contention.
Still reckon he's a sneaky chance to win our B&F (obviously Smith is favourite so far).

What's impressed me is he's not just doing it offensively but at times he's gone to oppositions best mids and closed them down whilst racking them up himself. In the North game he went to Higgins after Q1 and really quelled his influence but continued to get plenty of touches himself.

Just quietly id have him creeping into Brownlow calculations, if he has a big finish to the year i could see him finishing top 10 at least.

 

[Beerfish]

lol no. I think you've forgotten who votes on the Brownlow.

Yeah that would have to be very quietly.

He definitely attracted more votes than expected last year. could finish with around 20 votes.

 

[Studly Baker]

He needs to kick more goals to be a genuine Brownlow chance.

He’s 9thin the coaches votes

How closely has coaches votes correlated to brownlow votes in previous years?

 

[BigJoeD_]

Pretty solid company, considering his perceived ‘slow’ start to the season

[Dons4days]

I hope he gets some serious consideration for AA this year. His last 2 months have been terrific & if he finishes out the year in a similar fashion he should have every chance to make the team or the squad at the very least.

 

[Donakebab]

After copping an almighty pasting after the Melbourne game he has turned his season around in a big way. Not only has his form been blistering, his onfield leadership has noticeably improved. Leading from the front and doing the heavy lifting superbly despite it not suiting his natural game.

On the subject of coaches votes, he's killing it. Votes in 9 games, polled in every victory bar the Brisbane game where he was clear best on in what was looking like his best performance of the year, with 9 disposals and two goals before being knocked out early in the second. His influence is highly underrated by the unwashed masses.
