Watching at the ground, he has really good closing speed but also seems able to judge the ā€œmomentā€ without over comitting. Looks right at home.

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

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.

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.

Couldnā€™t agree more.
That wasnā€™t just a good first game.
He was excellent against the most dangerous small forwards in the game.
Outstanding performance tonight.
