Impacting on the wing in an AFL game in your 4th game is a pretty big ask. The big ask is If he got or was looking to get into the right places. A lot of 2 way running required in that position.

His kicking is confidence as an experienced 100 gamer, not a 4th gamer. Looks slick and tidy. Very exciting to watch. Already a B22 locked.
Best part of the hub is Young, Serong and Aish. Great recruits, fresh talent for Freo

Can’t see him getting the rising star this week... but maybe he’s a chance since freo won + now 3 weeks of solid effort including last weeks very good game

Watched the replay and he's already a seemless best 22 player where i expect so much from him.
Did a double take on myself where I realised, holy s**t dis kid even better than I thought

I would have liked Connor to have been in for Colyer with mid rotations to keep Young back who is already better than Duman

Young was struggling keeping up with the men on the wing. Did really well to keep his composure.
Hopefully playing half back again next week to keep him available for the derby.
Looks like Acres will be available so should be Acres to wing and Young to the backline.

I thought it quite interesting to note that JLo already backed him into play the wing position in his 3rd game. JLo clearly is giving the younger blokes the responsibility and backing them in which i think is a great sign from a coach.

Also steep learning curve. Wont work for every recruit but feels good when they thrive & worth a shot.
Unlike rossy who wanted the boys to get a 3 year diploma in football first killing there natural instincts in the process.
To be fair to Ross, he did give Brayshaw and Cerra every possible opportunity at the top level and then some.
Getting the balance right seemed to be his weakness. He admitted he got it wrong in 2015 by not giving Blakely, Weller and Langdon more exposure and then went totally the other way when Brayshaw and Cerra came along.
Agree on Duffield. Wilson could have been but he looks sloppy, unfit and uninterested.
Young should surpass Duffields output though eventually. Joy to watch.
Only got to read what I’ve said later in this thread to see what I think of that stat.
As I have stated multiple times any kick over 40m not marked by the opposition is an effective kick.
Young is an elite kick as he can hit kicks a lot of players can’t - Ryan just doesn’t have that ability.
Duffield was the smartest decision maker the club has ever had. Never replaced him with anything nearly as good.
Think I remember it - first quarter I think. Got to do more than once a month (maybe generous too) to be considered an elite kick.
What’s is Young’s line of betting for the Rising Star, now that Rowell is out? Played 4 games already, the he plays the better he gets and the chances for r he Rising Star goes up.
Noone has rising star markets, all other players were about $50 bucks for rising star so all bookies took the markets down to re adjust, I expect Young, King, Sturt, Anderson, Taylor to all start at the 10-15 mark
He's got to get nominated first. From memory (which often lets me down) we all thought Brayshaw would do well but he never got nominated.
Would’ve and should’ve if his season wasn’t ended by a bloke who should have a criminal record because of it.
