Brownlow Medallist
As a Noble “doubter” I can confirm it wasn’t this for me. He had a really strong 2023 so it appears some memories are cloudy (not referencing you Kirby) because he was very much fringe early in 2022 culminating in his relegation to the sub role v Brisbane. Much like Langdon in 2017 he was getting games more out of being a best 22 player than on form. What turned him around in my mind was his fundamentals. Less fumbling, remaining on his feet, greater consistency by foot and tighter defensively.It’s because he’s small and there are some posters here who don’t rate players unless they’re built like Bruzzy.
I’ve commented on this phenomena before.
