He used to have such good hands. I mean eevrything thing would stick. It didnt matter if they chopped his arms the umpire wouldn't need to blow the wistle for a free because the mark would stick. However the raging ranga who doesn't mind a fist pump after goal has completely turned his game around...the wrong way though.
Yes Im talking about Mathew Bate and i'll get criticised because he had a good game against Adelaide the week before but it is obvous he is playing crap hard to watch football.
He is very awkward to watch and if and when the ball comes at his knees he fumbles and fumbles and fumbles. His vision is terrible but has actually improved and most of all he doesn't give 100%. He like others (Flash) plays 100% when the game is on the line. Otherwise he breeses through the game. Doesn't tackle when able to and looks out of position a lot. Definetely needs to improve on his defensive work.
Ps. About Aaron davey.
If you ever watch the collingwood draw again you will notice that he puts his ody on the line in the dying minutes. In other games in the dying minutes he will desperately dive and attempt to smother. I wonder why he doesnt do this through the entirety of the game. I almost certain it is because of his Hamstring injury. Although am afraid it was the reason he was picked up in the rookie draft not the normal draft. That reason being that he didn't want to do the defensive work. I am a huge fan of flash and always will be. His skills are freakish ut he needs to find the passion that he plays with through some of the game and maintain it throughout its entirety a la Neville Jetta whom is growing on me every time he steps on the field.
