Fits what the club is trying to do to address speed, has a Hartung feel to me so I’m not overly excited about the pick up.

Connor, the time for being nice is over, every single player in the AFL is working to take food off the plate of your future children.

What are you going to do about it?

You can park that nice guy/solid citizen s**t for starters. No one cares on delisting day.

Yeah he more than anyone knows about the reality of he doesn’t take this chance.
Should be very ferocious in his attack at the ball/man

He was the only one that stuck to the game plan. Pity it was Richmond's 2018 game plan so there wasn't much connection with his new teammates.
Did get better as the game went on, and would be good to see more of that improvement..

Wasn't the shittest.
24th picked with about 7 injured who would have been in before him.

Considering how long he was out of football it's a tick. Hopefully improves, in the VFL, as he gets back into the rhythm. Certainly didn't shame himself, even if we didn't really see to much.

I actually thought he was ok today - toward the end a bit of jelly legs got to him but he contested well and used the ball ok.

I had to get the Record out early to see 'who this 31 guy was' but he competed well and was rarely beaten.

I am not sure where he fits in longer term but he wasn't the worst out there today.
 
He was the only one that stuck to the game plan. Pity it was Richmond's 2018 game plan so there wasn't much connection with his new teammates.
Did get better as the game went on, and would be good to see more of that improvement..

he was fine, far from our worst, but i was surprised by how unathletic he looked. noticed him struggling to go with a couple of port players who didnt seem that quick themselves. i thought this guy had blistering pace.

He didn't play or train at all last year. Probably still working back to his peak fitness.

After watching the GC game today, if we wanted an ex Richmond player that actually utilises his speed then Oleg Markov would’ve been a far better option.

First game in a year, dont even think he played the practice/aami games.
Thought he was more than serviceable and showed some decent footy smarts on field was clearly as rusty as everyone else on field.
