How far off is this guy from being best 22? (is he best 22?)
IMO there are still a number of players in that medium/small forward role that are quite a way ahead of him. Garner, Simpkin, Turner at the very least. Then you consider Hrovat, the structure we want to play and if there is room for him a forward line with most of those guys as well as Waite and/or Wood, Brown and Ziebell.

Should still play 5+ games as we rotate throughout the year though. I expect just about every player on our list bar Watson and Xerri to get at least one game next season. Depending on injuries, of course.

The play where he streamed through the midfield, "don't argued" the **** out of some Essendon flog and hit Browny on the tit is among the best on-field highlights from 2017 in my opinion.

Hoping to see more of it next year.

Love the look from the ZURHAAARR

Don't need to now.
Yes I was more-so thinking in terms of how much the club would be paying him on rookie wages as opposed to other (in my opinion) less talented players on the primary list.

I think he’s a gun. He’s a confident kid you can tell and hopefully the stigma of remaining a rookie is not an issue for him.

Love this bloke. Garner-esque. Knows how good he can be and is backing himself to get there.
There's a hint of campaigner about him in the recent Majak Video I seen.......no more nervous humble kid about him now.
BUT NOW HE HAS TO PRODUCE, confident though he'll deliver.

Haha was he ever a 'nervous humble kid'. I reckon he arrived at the club referring to himself in the third person, and I love it ;)

Would love to see him go head to head with the guns of the comp, see what he can learn in the next 9 months playing against Kelly, Danger, Fyfe, Dusty, Sloane
There is blooding and then there is sado masochism.

Noticed in the practice game he held onto the ball too long spilled an easy mark but then smashed through a maj tackle if he was not there. Certainly room to improve for me one to watch
