I feel as though he is the type of player that will perform better the higher level he plays. The delivery into the forward 50 and clean ball movement of the AFL compared to the SANFL suits his game really well. He looked so comfortable out there already.What a great debut. Has he even played that well in 2 and a bit seasons at SANFL level? He has been in struggling SANFL sides which wouldn’t help.
Loved that crumbing goal. Just naturally took it in the left hand and guided down on to the right boot in the one action. And those leaps and strong marks. Good set shot on goal.
Structure up with Walker and Himmelberg and let Thilthorpe just play. Looked like he was enjoying himself which was great to see.
