Yes weโve definitely had our fair share. Happens to every club though. Only have to look at Hawthorn and Collingwoods picks over the years.
Iโm just stating what others have stated about him, I love the bloke.
Have said since day 1 that he will turn out to be a better player than Langford

Looks like any agility issues in seasons previous were likely injury/confidence-related. After stringing a few games together, he looked reasonably mobile for 6โ3 bloke last night
like the hair cut.
seems to be getting scoring opportunities up forward, sometimes makes something out of nothing, stringer like.

Not far from activating Beast Mode and becoming a real handful for oppo defenders.

Great overhead, good on the ground, his goal on the second quarter was first class.
Needs to work on his goalkicking like 8 others.
he didnโt look much shorter than hooker post game.
Probably seen one of the worst shots on goal ever thouโฆneeds to sort that out

Are you thinking of the begley point from 35m out?

I think you have him mixed up with Begley. Lav kicked 2.1 and the one miss was after he baulked a player and tried to slot it from a very tight angle on the boundary and just hit the post.
He actually had a set shot from about 45m out and it went out on the full

Yep. Made the distance easily but about 30 meters left of target.

Heโs beginning to believe.
Heโs always been a good mark for his size, but he had a first-step last night that has been missing.
Breakout performance coming soon

Thereโs nothing wrong with his agility or explosiveness. Heโs quick and strong. Keep him on the park and heโll turn into a gun.
Heโll also get the worst defender because of others around him (McKernan, Stringer, Fanta etc.)
I reckon a 4+ goal game isnโt too far away.
Lav had a shot to the right of screen from about 35-40 out slight angle and kicked it out on the full.
Kidโs not too bad after all then, eh?

I kept getting Lav and Begley mixed up from a distanceโฆ still havnโt gotten the number change through my head.
His goal-kicking looks very confidence-related - hopefully it improves as a consequence of stringing some good games together.
Are you a channel 7 commentator?

Iโm on record as someone who had serious doubts about him.
But I reckon heโs clearly shown more this year than ever before.
For those talking about breakout gamesโฆ what do you define as a breakout game for him?
I wouldnโt be surprised now if he had a game where he kicked 5 or 6 goals (if he can kick straight)
He seriously looks like he could tear a game apart. Ideally next Saturday against the Swans.
