At the very least, he’s better than McEntee at everything

I'd be happy to double down on that one for you.

He definitely has some goal sense. Good finisher too from what he has shown in pre-season, SANFL and the few games he has had so far. Has scored bags a few times in his career before.
The lack of pace is a concern for a small forward, doesn't that electric pace needed to excel in the role. As long as he can bridge the gap from his best games (on the weekend) to his off games, he could become a serviceable player for us.

He is not a traditional small forward; his is tough, strongly built and being nearly six foot can take a grab anywhere in the front half.
All 4 of his goals were a bit different so that bodes well as well.
1. Back of the pack crumb, snaps on his left.
2. Read the play well, Horne-Francis with over the head tap for a Joe the Goose goal.
3. F50 stoppage throw-in, snaps on his right, his direct opponent draped all over him. Quite impressive.
4. Uncontested mark 40 out on a slight angle.

Who would've thought Tim's son could end up being even better than him?

He’s a bit like Dyl Williams, not the fastest but knows where the ball will be. I guess if he’s to play, we may as well kept Robbie in our forward line.

Not quick legs, but quick between the ears. Knows how to kick a sausage roll.
Sets up assists for others.
I'd keep him on the list, and reckon he'd be a decent small forward - not a world beater, but way more value than Mac.

The problem is comparing players on our list to McEntee isn't a reliable metric on whether they should get games for us or not, otherwise we'd have about 40 players in our best 22 each week.

This guy is so much better than McEntee it's not funny.
6 full games for 10 goals for Evans. 20 full games for 14 goals for McEntee. Kicked as many goals today alone as McEntee has kicked since the bye.

Worst 3 goal game I’ve seen
offers nothing. I’d have rathered seen Fantasia given a run.

His 3 goals against Richmond were the best 3 goals by anyone in the match. Goal kicking and goal sense are excellent. Needs to go to the US with Boaky to get a bit of speed training to make him a regular starter in the AFL.

It’s amazing that a player can look so s**t and so good at the same time
Really like him. Liked him in pre-season too. Will be really annoyed if he's dropped again.
