The kid has talent wherever he’s played on the field. Clearly, kicking goals has the coaches excited but he knows how to rack up the numbers and be damaging coming off HB or through the midfield. I hope he hasn’t been pigeon holed as a forward only and coaches use him in the middle when the teams needing extra drive / dynamism
Why does everyone have to play midfield? We have 25+ guys on our list capable of playing midfield but only one (this guy) capable of being a 45+ goal a year small forward.
Sides are going to start trying to rough him up, you watch. He is too damaging to be left alone. Will be interesting to see how he handles it and who we deploy as his minder.

We don’t have 25+ guys who have the ability to break the game up through the midfield with elite running like Fanta… of our usual crop of midfielders there is not even one actually.
I hate the idea of him sitting in the forward pocket for the year to be honest. He is better than that.
I thought after the first quarter and the start of the second that he was starting to fade and was going to run out of puff due to being quite young still and not having those pre-seasons in his legs and yet he just kept going and going all night.
The most dynamic and dangerous player we have had in our forward line for a decade.
