If by realist you mean every single comment is a negative then yes you're a realist.

I understand what you mean in that he is an outside receiver almost purely atm, looks like we will need someone to feed him at center bounces.

Is good at finding it in transition by the looks kinda pendles in style more then a burst mid like Buckley was or as good at the contested stuff as Bucks but to be fair neither was Buckley early days he added that later.

Is clean and smart user mostly, think he had a few nothing 5m kicks in the first q under pressure.

He has been ignored for the handball recieve and a few leads in space a lot so we need to take in account this AA team is not gelling that well (seems to be distinct waxing between grps Horne ignored ND a few times in space only to butcher the kick) and that Geelong opponents are very well drilled and physically developed in comparison.

Positives.
Gets across the ground well.
Positions himself as an option often. At AFL level will get used more where as being ignored alot by fellow aa teammates looking to shine.
Generally clean by foot.
Directing traffic and vocal.
Reliable possession winner in general play.
Looks like he will be a good mid in style of Kelly (gws) or Pendles.

Some areas i saw of concern for me others may disagree;
Is very outside and I'm mean very wants to be the receiver 100% of the time.
Doesn't look to like contact.
As a compare Josh Daics much more willing in the contest even as a jnr imo when others considered him outside.
Doesn't seem to be able to make himself space in traffic like Josh has shown he can with backwardsand sidewards weaves.
Shot on goal struggled to make distance from about 42m (fatigue?).
Not sure of ability to burst from traffic is there.
Gives opponent (narkle q1) a lot of rope.
So far hasn't shown an xfactor quality that J.Daicos has at times displayed.

My observations too. Summed it up well. Looks a lot like Bucks when he first entered the AFL, perhaps without the kicking penetration. Mainly outside receiver with elite skills and high footy IQ that works really hard to get in position to receive the ball. I’m very confident ND can do as Bucks did and become a well rounded mid being that mix of inside/outside play, especially with mentors like Pendles and Tay Adam’s.

Most around here are way to young to remember a young Bucks.

Really nice game from ND. I liked the look of Fahey too, the GWS academy kid.

Bucks - even in the footballing crèche was an exception to many rules.
