No current season stats available
Reckon hes a bit better or has the scope to be better than Morris, taller, quicker, better ball user. Hes hard as a cats head, reckon he could turn into a real handy lockdown small defender.I don't see it so far. I know we give kids time but he's a bit older and has some experience against men.
I see a Steven Morris type. Tough, hard and will give his best every week but limited and an indicator of a average to bad team if he is getting a lot of games.
The team is probably due for a down period soon so I could see him playing him a bunch of games...like Morris did.
He's a much better player than Morris. Has his hardness and desperation but couples it with footy nous, clean hands and good ball use. Honestly have no idea how people can watch him play and not see his brilliant defensive efforts and think 'geez we bagged another gem here.' Needs to reign in the temper and not give away the silly frees but he'll get that stamped out of him.Reckon hes a bit better or has the scope to be better than Morris, taller, quicker, better ball user.

Understands the game plan too. This is where so many people for so long thought Broad was meh but he understands the game plan and plays it really well. Mansell is def a keeper.

Agreed. He's got an edge on players like Short and Houli etc who play off the backline in that he has a real defensive streak. If we genuinely want to move Baker into a mid/forward role (which I think we should) Mansell has his spot sewn up imo. Most natural small defender we have.Understands the game plan too.

Morris only had one gear, so full speed ahead that he left the ball behind half the time. But he had some great attributes, some of these Mansell has, but so far has not really done much wrong with ball in hand, seems to have decent vision and decent skills. You've just got to shake that Morris image out of your head.Possibly. I hope so. Although Morris was 185cm, Mansell 180cm.
Plenty of people told me I was wrong about Morris back in the day and he was a good player. I do see some positive traits with Mansell but wouldn't be surprised if he only plays 50 odd games. We will see.

I don’t see the Morris comparisons at all.I don't see it so far. I know we give kids time but he's a bit older and has some experience against men.

I see a mixture of Nathan Wilson and Neville Jetta. He’s Wilson with the ball and Jetta without it. Will be a very good player for us.
Plus he’s 21. Christian Salem is hitting his peak at 26. Bachar Houli was AA on the wrong side of 30. He has a lot of improvement left in him.
