One of the most talented players in the competition. He's almost quicker than everyone else. He's powerful, has elite skill, can play as a key forward or as a small, is a tackling machine who can rundown defenders from anywhere and has a subliminal right foot. He's almost the perfect specimen for the modern day player.
His only downside is he doesn't read the play well enough to be a mid which is why he'll never be a big possession winner and it's the only reason he isn't, or won't ever be considered an elite player. And he hasn't been able to get any continuity to build consistency.
I was over the moon when we selected him because I knew he'd make our forward half so much stronger and it's been a major weakness of ours over the last few seasons. He's a really hard match-up for the opposition.
The opposition are going to put more time into him now which is his next hurdle. It'll also allow a bit more freedom for one or two others.
He needs to build on this now. I think he can become the player his #6 draft selection justifies.
Nice Garrrry!
