Such an intelligent mid, his short range kicking is brilliant, very Sam Mitchell like. I also love his attitude in stirring up the oppositions most floghardy players
 
How do these stats compare to winning awards?
It's a good question, in nearly every other sport these kind of stats are wildly celebrated and a huge source of pride. AFL seems to be more skewed towards awards though.

Still, to say no player in AFL history has ever had more touches in a season then you, it's a nice ace to hold in the pocket

OK. Thanks for that. I shall rephrase. Of the top 10 how many went on to win a major award in the same season
 
He seems to be playing with a bit of swagger now too. When he started out he had it, and then kept getting caught, and so there was a period where he was hack kicking out of stoppages. Now he's got his bearings right so he's got more time, in stoppage, and around the ground, and his disposal and d% is improving as a result.

He's a bit like Tex how he can stand up in a tackle and get a disposal away.
 
I remember wandering down to training when we'd picked him up and everyone said he couldn't kick.

I said two things: his kicking is fine, and he's a ball magnet.

The numbers of times i heard people yelling "Crouchy!" to get his attention so he'd kick it to them was phenomenal.

Love that guy.

My exact thoughts too when I first saw him at training in his first preseason.

His kicking is fine in general. In fact when he has time and space, he's pulled off some beautifully weighted kicks to the likes of Tex in the F50 in the last two years.

The kid is quality. He'd easily be in the top 10 if the 2013 draft was re-taken.
