I think people are selling Devs athleticism short. He’s no danger but he’s got explosiveness in his game imo

He's the type of player who IMO would have seemed more athletic in the 2018 ish pre stand rule type game. Does have good explosiveness and athleticism was listed as a strength in his draft bios.

He's just not the type of soccer-style gliding runner (Daicos) nor the sharp, low to the ground circles mover (Neale) required these days to be a mid who you can just let do their thing. Will be fine speed wise if always coming from the contest/off the floor - hope his role at AFL level is absolutely to get in there and handle the hits. Don't really love the idea of him on a wing or rolling off half forward, if that's the case for a given week would rather him dominate the WAFL. Brisbane had Dunkley in the bruiser role + Berry who could also do that but was better in the air if needed elsewhere.

I’d argue he’s inside mid or wafl.

Basically think this ^^ covers it IMO.
 
Dev had a lot more of the ball than I realized in the intraclub game. Played his part well. It will be an interesting watch come the game versus Freo on Saturday.

He has a dip.

If he plays a lot for us this year, we're in real trouble IMO.
Don't know if you've been paying attention, but we've been in a hell of a lot of trouble over the past four years.
 
Well well well. Where are the Dev Haters now? Looks like I was a bit timid on my assesment of Dev.

Get our future captain a better number then ****ing 40 and market him better. Need all the nuffies to know he is Darren Glass nephew. It's not well known.

27 possesion from eagles royalty. Darren Glass lead the backs with maturity. Dev will lead the mids

Looks like he gets one bad kick a game but is good for the rest.
Should just tell him to make that bad kick no where near the D50.

Otherwise,

"Deven Robertson has recorded a new career-high of 26 disposals. His previous high was 19 in Round 11, 2021 against GWS."

Had a fantastic game.

Disposal isn’t great (58% efficency and 6 turnovers today) but he’s a tough nut, tackles hard, finds a good amount of the ball and runs hard all match.

Watching him the last two matches it’s both easy to see why he couldn’t break in to a very deep and talented Brisbane midfield, and easy to see that he can thrive in our side as the lunchpail type of midfielder that we haven’t had enough of in recent years.
 
Always knew he’d do well.

Making a lot of “knowledgeable” people on this board look a little silly right now.

Bargain pick up and giving it everything he has.

Loving it.


Incredibly cheap and setting the standard we've so desperately lacked for years.

Will be top 5 in the B&F. Coaches will be loving him.
