Having been somewhat of a critic and skeptical of whether TOB had the ability to make it as an AFL footballer, I want to congratulate him on his performance against the Dees. Reading his stats doesn't tell the full story as his competitiveness and will to give a contest was exceptional especially so given the conditions and our dearth of key forward stocks.
This coming on the back of a dreadful first half against the Lions last week showed a lot of character.
This isnt to say he has "made' it, however, he has certainly shown he can compete at this level and for him to maintain his place in the side, he has to bring that level of effort week in and week out.
It was also wonderful to see him get reward for effort in kicking the sealer from a difficult angle, close to 50 with a wet ball.
He is certainly still going to have up and downs as a young player however, he certainly showed some signs.
Congrats TOB, keep up the effort!
