Imagine if he played for a Vic club, he would have a statue at the MCG already

Hall of Famer
It's almost underrated how good he's been. Check him out compared to the debut season from Rozee that had us all shitting ourselves that they'd found a gem.

Don't wish for him to play for a Victorian club. They will all be chasing him. Time to offer him 6 years at $800k a year
I think when it comes down to it, why I love Rachele isn’t just the goal kicking talents. It’s more the fact I get excited whenever he gets near the ball. He’s one of those special players where he often makes thing happen to the team’s advantage - footy smarts - a la D. Jarman and Betts. The kind of presence that brings crowds to footy games.

Time to choose and skills to execute. Those passes to Gollant and Tex in the last couple of weeks have me more excited than his forward 50 work.

Relax. Fill your arteries with Steak and Malbec.
Its only a half, it changes nothing.
At least he stayed involved. Some good lessons for him to learn from in this game.
Missed a set shot directly in front when the breeze got hold of it, didn't take the shot on the run when inside 50, dropped a chest mark very close to goal, hit the post with a 45m set shot on the boundary with a tricky breeze and took mark 35m in front of goal when the umpire called a push out by another player which wasn't even there. Not a quiet game as most thought.Today proves he’s only human
Could've had 3 or 4 easily. Dropped a soda from a pass from Cook.

Seems to be dropping his head in game the last couple of weeks. Not a dig at him, I'm sure it's just that he wants to snag another big haul of goals (or even just a couple) but I really hope he is ok above the shoulders. Someone get the word to the Texan to feed him a few.
People need to remember that he's still a kid and moving to a new state at his age is a huge change. Some players take a couple of years to settle in. My advice to him is to work hard and don't read your own press. I think this year is a big wake up call that AFL is not easy and success is not guaranteed.
Either he’s struggling physically or he’s up to level 3 of our patented talented kid over-coaching course.
“Ok Josh, decent debut, you’ve kicked 5, but that’s not what being a small forward is these days. I’ve got your tape here, so let’s spend a few hours working out how you managed to find yourself in the wrong spots and ended up with the ball or kicking a goal. See here where you led straight at the ball carrier who then hit you up, that’s confusing for him and us. See where Tex and TT are, in this instance we’d like to see you run at 90 degrees away from the kicker for about 30 or 40 metres and start guarding space over on that flank.”

Sadly I reckon that wouldn't be too far from the truth.
Didn't someone post the other day we concentrate on their weaknesses and lose focus on their strengths? I think thats also close to the truth.
Yes I believe the coaches are telling him to not kick goals and instead run at funny angles to confuse team mates.

Do you think they’d be trying to get him to fit into our structures and gameplan?

Meddling is the greatest flaw in young or inexperienced coaches.
It's a superior coach who recognises the players who require teaching from those who need coaching.
Can you imagine a young coach telling Eddie "just spill it over the line and we'll reset with a stoppage". Eddie smiles and says to himself "fu** that! I'm having a shot MF!"
Freak players when given the licence to try stuff end up doing....well you know the rest.
Takes experience, self confidence and maturity from a coach though.
He’s definitely got the natural talent and sense of what to do. I’m not seeing that athleticism they mentioned (Toby Greene style) that sees him as a danger in the air. If he works hard on his fitness I think he’ll become better suited to the midfield.

I also see his future as a classy goal kicking mid that can rest fwd. Think the media have called it the "striker" role.
I reckon with more midfield time towards the end of the year would get him out of this slump. Teams have caught on he's the only other small kicking goals next to mcadam.

To an extent and so they should. I also hope they review his games and show him where he's made mistakes and where has to learn.
I'm sure the truth lies somewhere in the middle as usual.

Out for 2 weeks with a hip injury. Apparently he has been managing the hip for a few weeks now.
The "he has been coached out of form" crazies will have to turn their attention elsewhere for the moment.
