Young Sam is starting to believe, and his clunking against the Tiges was a good sign of things to come. He was on track to kick 4 and should have nailed those goals from directly in front, they were not difficult kicks. Had he kicked them, he would changed the course of the entire match. Fortunately we got the win and we are not left to ruminate on what might have been. A loss would have damaged his confidence and put him a bit further back.
Seems to lack consistency. In the previous game against Brisbane he had only 5 possessions and kicked no goals. Hopefully this will improve with more confidence.
Actually excited for this bloke if 2MP comes in this week because it will take the pressure off him moving to second banana.
Would be nice to see him kick 3-4 goals this week and for him to find he’s groove with 2mp.
And don’t get me started on Langford getting the third defender
career best numbers. can’t really ask for more in his first year. I think he’s going to have to increase his productivity long term to hold his spot or he’ll come under pressure (from Voss, hopefully)
Having Wright back will ease the burden on the other forwards, no doubt, but the group finding rhythm may take some time.
Weideman has been improving week on week without the support, though.
Converting his opportunities over the last couple of games and all of a sudden he’s got a run of multiple goal performances.
I think he’s been quietly impressive. Every facet of his game, bar accuracy, has come along since the beginning of the season. He’s not getting moved off the line as easily, he’s finding ways to stay involved, gaining more and more belief…
We couldn’t tap the potential of two budget underperforming key forwards in the space of a few seasons, could we?
