Faaaaaaaark he is good

 

[nipst@r]

I thought he was just a high effort player but showing more than that.

Still super young for a mid season pick

He’s a serious player isn’t he.

He bashes and crashes but then he also shows great agility to burst from stoppages but then he also absorbs contact and releases by hand. And he never stops defending and working both ways.

He is becoming a very complete footballer. Always liked him, never saw this coming.

Really stood out last night.

There's this bounce in his step that is quite unique. Sometimes his clearance wins remind me of someone like Westbrook grabbing a rebound and taking off on a fast break.

I know what you mean - like a wild stallion!

The midfield are all looking like stallions at the moment...

Amazing attack on the pill by this bull. Could be one of the hardest players in the comp. Love his blue collar work and alongside Caldwell form the bash brothers in our midfield. Should be top 3 in CBA’s from here onwards.

 

[gillon]

So impressed by this guy. We have needed someone like him in our midfield for 20 years. If he continues to improve, the sky is the limit for this midfield.

 

[blitzer]

Who else loved the tackle he did on Rankine (pretty sure it was) in the last quarter? It was a thing of beauty.

 

[crackers65]

Definitely doesn’t play bruise free football. Coaches must love him, I do.

 

[DERO]

another cracking Adrian Dodoro pick!

 

[Kong]

another cracking Adrian Dodoro pick!

hasn't been in his role for 25 years now.

Obviously any thing good on his watch was lucky. BTW - that’s my actual opinion not a joke.

Just remember it wasn’t all Dodoro… Hird and Sheedy signed off on Durham too

 

[The Devils Advocate]

Durham and Caldwell = The Sash Brothers
In before Fox steal this.

Or the edge lords?

 

[bomberlegend2007]

A lot of hype on this bloke not sure why VFL at best

Love this.

 

[Yoda_]

'Half-back, lockdown role and on the wing' sounds like he's gonna be ... playing as a half-back/small defender.

and now rising star as an inside mid

It is kind of hilarious after the first half of this thread is all "big mid woohoo" maybe he'll get to that point one day.

called it, well done

Inside bull Durham

Nice

Yes it's so good when puns accidentally predict the future

 

[hurlygurdy]

He's become the most important player to retain for the future. Merrett came in and gave us a tenacity and work ethic a few years back making him the most important player for the club. Durham now is the 2.0 we needed installed in a bigger frame. He's the type of player that gives you an edge in finals footy. Reminds me of the way Darren Millaine terrorised Anderson in 1990.
