"Star down in defense"
Needs to run, run, run, run all through summer. He was seriously labouring in the second half and really dropped off on the defensive running.Has arrived. Still needs another preseason of fitness, but he’s turning into a very influential midfielder.

also - much better than D at releasing by hand from congestion. Thats has really developed this year. So has all 3 covered - escape from stoppage, kick out of congestion and release by hand after taking the tackle. Not many mids do all those well. Struggling to think of any atm. eg Dusty doesnt HB much - doesnt need to. LDU is sort of (good) unique..Nah mate. LDU can kick.

In his last 6 consecutive games, he has had double digits contested possessions in each one. In the 43 games he played before that, he had double-digit contested possessions 7 times.Last three games of the season will take him to 50.
From game 51 onwards it’s not unreasonable to expect 25ppg, 6.5 clearances, 0.5 goals, 4 tackles.
And it’s going to be glorious.
Another 2 solid preseasons and watch the * out.In his last 6 consecutive games, he has had double digits contested possessions in each one. In the 43 games he played before that, he had double-digit contested possessions 7 times.
In 8 of his last 11 games, he has had 5 clearances or more. In the 36 games he played before that he had done it 4 times in total.
He is really starting to build a body of work consistent with being one of the elite mids in the competition and there is still significant upside to his tank and power.
Another 2 solid preseasons and watch the fu** out.
