increased role on ball.View attachment 371098
How come he is scoring so much better this year compared to the rest of his career? More midfield minutes? More of a license to win his own ball? And how would it be impacted it Gray manages to get his body right and play more midfield minutes?
he is thriving being our #1 man at stoppages. Having a decent ruck also helps.
I know people are saying he will slow down, but i dont reckon he will. He has pushed Boak to the outside and Gray fwd and along with Wines, SPP and Wingard, they form a dynamic quadruple in the middle.
He has already had more clearances and goal assists than last year total with his increased role on ball.
Last year, he was moved around a bit due to injuries and all that. But with that consistent role on ball, he is playing much more consistently and he is one of the hardest workers at the club.
He will be on the radar for me after our bye.
As for Gray being fit, it won't affect Ebert IMO. We would rotate Gray and Wingard as the flashy player and have 2 of Ebert/Wines/Boak/SPP in there at all times to get the balance right.
