I agree. It's a learning year for him, moving from wing to being Sidey understudy mid. He is not getting it enough but nor should we expect it. Learning takes time.

Didn’t know he had 10 tackles on debut.

Can he kick as well as Bianco?
josh sometimes reminds of his dad like the snaps and some times how he runs. I reckon it will be hard to be like peter. I hope the kid builds his own legacy
He looks fitter than his Dad, has the freakish talent, maybe not as much but he looks to be applying himself and that’s all you can ask. It’s uncanny how Daicos and Moore move like their Dads Peter.
Hes already doing building his own legac.... but if people like you stop trying to compare them every time it will help

Floreat Pica, Bitch!
Very ordinary and was moving backwards at nearly all times, but I suppose he’s had some time out…

Yeah, let’s bag Daicos. It’s all his fault!

I like him but he had a bad game. No need to overreact over some warranted criticism.

Just want to bump this thread amongst all the hype over his brother. Josh has been excellent thus far in my opinion.
24 disposals and nearly a goal a game on the wing is pretty excellent stuff. And they're much better disposals than we have been used to from the Tom Phillips types of a few years ago. Getting a full preseason, playing under McRae and alongside his brother have all seemed to give him the best chance at becoming what he's teased for a few years. Playing like a truly elite wingman now.

Good bump. Poor Josh has been forgotten about a bit amongst all the Nick hype. Has been great so far
My thoughts too

Absolutely love watching Josh, and is one of my favourite players.
I am a nitpicker though and was very frustrated by him against the eagles a few times where he just made silly choices when he had the footy 50 out. He needs to be smarter with his decision making and timing when he’s got the footy 50 metres out.
Felt like a bit of ‘dear in headlights’ which I’m not used to (or like) seeing from a Daicos. I think one was a mark, and another was a free. He should’ve put both 15-20 out in the hotspot or picked a forward out, but both were just silly entries and neither contributed toward a Collingwood goal.
Outside that, he is in contention for AA squad talks if he can maintain this current form throughout 2022!

Better knees hopefully. Amazing talent, sticks his tackles too!
I disagree he has been overlooked. Most pundits are acknowledging his good season.
Personally I don’t think no his improvement has got anything to do with his brother joining the club or the new coach, although mcrares game plan definitely assists wingers.
The reason Josh has improved mostly is just natural progression. He showed a lot of signs last year.

Given his thread hadn't been posted in since August last year, I think he has been overlooked.

I’d argue he actually regressed a bit last year, mostly from an interrupted preseason and being played as an on baller rather than on a wing.
There’s no questioning that he’s reaching new heights this year, at least so far. Whether that can be attributed to any number of factors is up for debate, but I wouldn’t dismiss a bit of sibling rivalry pushing him along a bit.
I think in general conversation, he hasn’t. Not sure a single thread is the barometer
Fair point it was 2020 where he’d made significant advances and slightly off that level last year. Progress has steadily been made over his career as he matures. It’s not always linear. I believe he’s simply continue his progress and getting close to potential
