This guy was impressive on Saturday night but looking at a few stats he doesnt seem to get the game time he deserves. He played roughly half the season last year, but was this due to injury or other circumstances? And is he expected to get more of a go this year?

He broken his ankle at the end of 2003 at Mitchell White's farewell [those bloody fences ;) ] and didn't play seniors until about Rd12 or 13.He did have about 3 or 4 VFL games beforehand.

This year he had more ankle problems and returned to the VFL last week,where he kicked 7 goals - including the winner.

As for will he get more go - ABSOLUTELY.He's probably our best forward.

Due to injury. The kid is an absolute young gun. Would be our most dangerous forward. Freakish skills. Creates a difficult match up @ 189cm. but also very good at ground level. Has a seriously effective hip and shoulder as well.

Robbie Walls rated him #2 of all player's 40 games and under behind only D.Wells at start of season.

I rated him highly from U/18 CHAMPS. and was amazed that he slipped through to us @ 24. at the time said he would develop into best medium sized fwd. in AFL. Is heading that way as long as his ankles hold up.
 
He always does something. If he cant mark it or kick a goal he will use the ball to the advantage of his teammates. Makes his ultra dangerous.
