I'm not understanding Dmac's criticism, he's playing well, he's genuinely vital down back, he has his moments of stuffing up but so do Webster, Gears, Savage. He's kicking improved a ton, he suits our game style.
Why is replacing Geary? Apart from Rice, Dmac is the only one who suits Gears role. Courages, back in 2015/16 he took a mark going with the flight, got concussed or injured I believe. Good overhead mark, despite missing sometimes, he can clunk it. His tank, its probably bigger than Geary who has been our best runner for while. His athleticism allows him to play on Smalls and Mediums, which Richo loves it.
Most importantly, he goes hard and doesn't give up.
