I also noticed this though none of the Victorian-centric commentators mentioned it. The ball was well past Thomas's hand before it left the boot. It was like knocking the ball out of a player's hands after he has completed the mark.

Quick, skillful, clever, brave, aggressive. What more could you want in a footballer?

Sad when Pittard went as he was one of the few players that tried to do the unpredictable things that win close games.
Sadness gone as he has that Pittard audacity plus the skills to get away with it. He can also play anywhere on the field, forward, back or midfield.
Could be a real gem in a couple of years.

What's the bet Luke Hodge tries to snipe him next week. I hope the team is on the lookout for it.

I wish we had a Greg Phillips type who would/ could say - you touch him and I will kill you - like Greg did to Scott Salisbury before the 1990 GF about a skinny 17 year old Wanganeen.

Butters is a big improvement on Pittard and it is clearly seen after only two games!

He might not even be playing next week if he cops a game off for sniping Taryn Thomas (on debut, of course) against Norf today.

They wouldn’t do that to such a good bloke, surely.
It's a long standing AFL tradition for umpires just to go with the Carlton player's call that he touched the ball. It's known as the Kade Simpson Rule.
Psychopathically competitive. Its beautiful.

I don't know if i am being outlandish but is it possible we are witnessing a once in a generation player.

I always thought it was David Hynes.
Jonas / Dixon about as good as we've got but a lot harder these days. Unless you're good blokey bloke that can get away with unders at the tribunal.
I can't see the article but certainly he is at least on par with Robbie regarding his ability to read the play. He has that god given ability to predict ahead of time what is going to happen along with the skill and reflexes to impact on that play to the team's best advantage. He is a ferocious competitor. He is pacier than Robbie.
Time will tell physically how his body holds up and how he develops.
Of course it is very early days, but already he has done things that make the jaw drop.
