Leader...
Much improved. Definitely trying harder and getting more involved. I didn't think he was amazing though. But I guess if people didn't think he wasnt bad previously (he was) this game will be hyped up badly.
56 disposal efficiency in a bruise free contest. 3 clangers, only 3 contested possessions. A lot of his disposals went no where.
My problem with him is he really struggles to think his way through traffic which leads to him being a step slow on his disposal. I'm happy for him to stay for now.

Doesn’t matter
He looked to me like a 28 year old who has now played 6 games, slowly getting the pace of it, where to be, where not to be (chasing useless stats), all whilst not just finding his feet out in a pocket or something but right in amongst it..... funny that?
Forget his Grand Final, just like jack Graham before him and then some he’s being held to a ridiculously unrealistic standard.
He’s doing great.

Better game. That's all he needs to bring. Just be a depth mid.
Stop bumping when you can tackle though.

You said it all. I absolutely love the way he moves, slick and measured, there are glimpses there. It’s a matter of just putting those bits together.... at AFL level.... at which he has played 6 games.... 6.
Seems to me to really struggle with running games out strongly...touch of shai's fitness...

Classic Marlion game, 20 odd disposals when adjusted for 2020 reduced time. 7 tackles is excellent and uses it well.
Was certainly better last night, he’s hard as nails.

might've broken the tackle record then.
Now knows what being a Richmond man means. He has a hard edge marls oh and you’d have more chance finding a coll fan that wasn’t going for GwS in last years GF than he has of being dropped

dont you worry about marlion he is going to be fine.
I actually love that he bumps when he’s got a good hit lined up - can be just if not more effective than a tackle at times

Yep, I'm always pretty interested to see the coaches votes (also bnf votes) as it shows who and what the coaches really value. At this rate he'll have another few games at leastAfter 5 coaches votes I reckon he stays in

Strange vote distribution there - the coaches saw the game wildly differently based on that.After 5 coaches votes I reckon he stays in

I can't see any other way those votes could've been distributed than
5 votes: Pickett, Egg
4 votes: Grimes, Bolton
3 votes: Egg, Vlastuin
2 votes: Bolton, Grimes
1 vote: Short, Higgins
One coach thought Pickett was BOG and the other thought he wasn't in the top 5.
If you do the maths on that, it was one coach giving him 5 and the other coach giving him 0.After 5 coaches votes I reckon he stays in

I wonder which way around it was ...
Defenders feature prominently. Egg, Grimes, Vlas, Short, vs Pickett & Bolton.
