Just curious as to peoples opinions on him. Personally he has blown me away. In the St Kilda game you would never have guessed he had only played a few afl games. Although nothing that would really make him stand out he managed to really keep up and handled the intensity. Since then he has continued to improve and with someone with such limited experience at afl level i do believe he is playing excellently. He finally got his chance and hasn't looked back since and i would be more than happy to see him play finals.

He's playing well and was far from the worst last night. He's got a nice kick, and isn't afraid of contact. I would like to see him play finals, and it would be a disgrace if he went out ahead of Tenace. Very handy midfield/forward option.

I didn't mention it but i do think he is a very nice kick at goal he really doesn't seem to miss them.

has comparable pace to Tenace as well. Deserves a full season next year, so he doesn't go the way of Prismall.

At this stage he's ahead of Byrnes & Tenace.
He's managing to kick goals too...

He is going to be a gun. Certainly a future midfielder at the club. Good footy brain, nice user of the ball, and can kick a goal from 50m no probs.

he has composure...the fake and then steadying goal was all class.

 

[True Blue Cat]

He still does need to bulk up a bit much in the same way Selwood needed too. Although i am worried that as he builds up more muscle he will lose some of his speed and endurance.

he has nice quick hands and a lovely kick,far from the worst in team

 

[Turbocat]

The little things that he did puts him in a different head space than Varcoe at the same amount of experience. Sure he got caught but he was willing to go for it. He and Gillies are starting to look comfortable being in the side , the next test will be when other players come back to be able to hold their place

Kid is a future star. He is classy, like the look of him (except when he tried to take on Carlton's CHB and got pinged!). Has all the atributes we are looking for. I would expect that we keep him for a while.
