Great impact from his first couple of games. Seems perfect to hold down a wing spot. Geez you'd be pretty happy if he becomes a long term player for us from the MSD.

He seems like much more of a goer than Ham or Cutler ever were.

Looks great. I wouldn't have been displeased if we picked this boy up in the national draft 1st round.
 
Thought their transition was much better once he went from wing to back.

Maintain that he will be very important for us, even though he doesn’t look like he’ll ever be a big possession winner
 
For new players intent is probably more important than impact. If he sticks half of those tackles next year he'll be a very valuable addition. Having someone who is prepared to do the dirty stuff is great.

Just needs to stop overcommitting to tackles, could have carraled the opposition numerous times, but is too over eager and just dives in and make it easy for them. But still ******* love this campaigner

Spot on mate just needs to slow up and watch the hips, at the moment as you've said he's over committing and is off balance.

Plenty to work with, but tackle practice is sorely needed, along with a big summer or two in the gym.

His ability to gut run and commit physically are major pluses though
 
A rough diamond that needs some cut and polish and he’ll be an absolute gem

Yep he has composure, skills and endeavour.

So hopefully the answer is now an AFL standard fitness regime.
If we hit on Snelling and Durham that is a huge tick for a department that has been questioned alot.

Seems an athletically and right footed version of Brayden Ham
