I am seriously impressed.

Off ball awareness is so there, knows when to come and when to sag, and can close space quickly

 

[DERO]

Could be the new Guelfi. He's having a crack.

Need to see more but leaning towards agreeing.

It’s almost something we’ve never seen at EFC. A limited but defensively sound role player with genuine running and repeat effort ability.

Every other team worked out years ago that competitive guys with work rate are more valuable than say a Jade Gresham.

 

[Phone]

yeah i wasn't expecting that.

why would you insult lual like that

 

[Beerfish]

Give this man a 5 year deal.

 

[JayJ20]

Pretty impressed. Our equal leading goal kicker tonight.

I see something there.

 

[naraku]

He's been a pleasant surprise. I'd just like to keep him in and around F50 only, I think he can kick 30 odd a year with a bit more work.

I think he can be a high level role player in a the Hoskin-Elliott/Matt Cottrell role. Don’t think he’ll ever be a star but just as valuable. Particularly if he bulks up a bit more and can really throw weight in to tackles.

A lot of it is just repeat sprint grunt work but he seems to really understand it, which is quite rare for a younger player who’s only really been in that role for a year ish, if that.

A really pleasant surprise.

 

[Petrify]

Thought he was shocking in Q1 and was questioning why he wasn't dropped. Happily eat my words that he was amongst our best for the other 3 quarters. Loved the defensive cut offs he did

Yep. The repeat sprint ability is what makes him different to say Guelfi (who is a better footballer with ball in hand).

Was thinking tonight of Kamdyn McIntosh just that ability to run and genuinely compete then go forward and be a nice kick at goal.

 

[Doss]

Does not stop running, his endurance appears to be quite good.

Absolutely keep him in, he’s doing some good work.

For me Guelf has always lived or died on his over overhead marking, but different as you say.

I’m definitely prepared to wear the rawness around the edges if we get that level of pressure consistently. Bonus that he is getting scoreboard reward as well.

He had 4 disposals at 1/2 time and didn’t touch it in the third. He was unsighted until the last really. Great final term but the game was well and truly on ice at that point.

He was not unsighted. Several good off the ball pressure acts. A prime example of why disposals alone as a guide can be misleading.

The Darcy Parish Effect. Not saying he didn’t have an impact at times just for me he was largely unsighted and barely touched it until the last.

 

[dalecooper]

on one hand ive been super impressed (thought he'd be delisted without a game) but the other thinks he simply will never get enough of the footy to improve or to warrant a spot in a (hopefully) good side down the track. ideally you'd want someone who offers his pressure, running physicality and get his hands on the footy

 

[Agronomus]

Could we make him into a full time pressure forward? Add NHH to our forward line as well and suddenly it doesn't suck as much

 

[BomberManU]

I like him. I think that adding possessions/more direct involvement to his natural 'pressure acts' game would be easier than trying to add the pressure game to an accumulator.

^^This. Creates turnovers.

We have not had this sort of pressure since Tippa.

 

[Wahooti Fandango]

He's from Warrnambool, so he's awesome, as expected.

 

[Chambo]

Quite surprised given his VFL form...He's done enough to warrant another year. Gee there is going to be some interesting list decisions at the end of the year.

 

[Mini Dustin Fletcher]

He's a Half forward.....Could easily replace Gresh...Him and Kako buzzing around would be good to watch. Goes in HARD!!!

 

[andleanback]

Give this man a 5 year deal.

If McGrath can get one, why not

 

[Howard Moon]

Haven't seen him get the pill and turn on the Jets yet, I thought he was a bit of a line breaker?
