Hard to say really with the camerawork.
Didn’t get a touch in the first half but had 3 tackles.
Finally got a pretty easy touch on the wing and used it well. Moments later slotted his first.
Then kicked another couple for fun

And 21 of them were handballs.
I imagine quite a niche audience.

Problems will arise in the AFL when he switches from 80% to 100%, likely calf problems

Shiel and parish have never worked together, both ball hunters who will never go the other way

I think the staff would have told him not to go flat out. Why not ease back into footy slowly, get confidence in the body and get back into the normal AFL cycle before taking the plunge in the AFL. No rush. As it is he is half way to a Bennel/ Delidio destiny. But at some point he has to be picked in the AFL.

He normally needs a month to get with it
Somewhere above in here l posted the casual observation that although Vigo was dominating the ruck, Brissy were sharking the hit outs way better than our own players. It was a very noticeable misconnect. Parish was very under whelming, no where near AFL level on the form he displayed today.

Not enough being made of Huss kicking 3 goals in a half. How good!

He looks nowhere near fit enough, but if he can find the goals this much with a park footballers physique, he might end up being a star small forward.

Liam McMahon is logically the only tall we could call up to play in defence against Carlton. So, what do we do? We play a backline of 190cm+ players including Hoare, Gallagher, Akuei, Sellers and Gerreyn for most of the game, with McMahon spending about 10 minutes back there. The stupidity involved really boggles the mind.

Exactly, why didn’t Sellers and Gerreyn play fwd as normal. McMahon then could’ve played back to check him out down there with Akuei and Hoare.
I probably only saw 2-3 quarters in-and-out but thought Davey looked ok? Saw some good tackles & pressure, snagged one and set up a couple of others.
EDIT: 7 tackles, equal 2nd most in the ground

Think his form (for a smaller fwd) has been a little
more consistent and I’m seeing better things from him. Would like to see him get another opportunity alongside Kako and Caddy to see how he goes or where he fits in. Gresham and Menzie aren’t the future. Maybe Davey isn’t either but at least expose him in the firsts to find out.
