GUN
Watching at the ground, he has really good closing speed but also seems able to judge the āmomentā without over comitting. Looks right at home.
Yep.
Did very well! Looked right at home
Congrats on the rising star nomination.
They will give it to someone like Sam Powell-Pepper I reckonā¦
Gun
How good was the ovation when he dragged himself off after being monstered.
12 kicks + 10 handballs + 6 marks + 5 tackles + 2 frees + plenty of 1%ers
Good composure and positioning and competing against more experienced, older and stronger opponents. Great debut
Yep concur, looked very composed.
Dead set jet, play him all year. Courage and composure in spades
Never seen a kid come out in a 80k season opener and look so solid and composed.
Tough kid. They got into him a bit and he just kept at it. Great to see.
I was worried when we took him at pick 1, what a flog I am, deadset gun, will have a Hodge type career when he is finished, and bullshit aside, that is what we want.
Wish we could unleash him more instead of keeping him down at back pocket
He was fcking awesome
Patience young padawan.
Good startā¦Heppell like beginning
Was very very good tonight. Not as a first game expectation either. He was composed, looked to attack when he could, and only made a couple of errors. And it was against Hawthorn. Very pleased with his debut.
Couldnāt agree more.
That wasnāt just a good first game.
He was excellent against the most dangerous small forwards in the game.
Outstanding performance tonight.
