He honestly looks like he’s got neagle fitness levels. Looks fkd every time he’s on the screen. He’s certainly not a defensive runner, at all. Which is okay if he’s doing what he did today up forward, but you can’t carry a bloke who can’t chase the other way
When the ball is in his area, he’s good defensively, but apart from that he often gets exposed
Had the perfect view for the set shot on a tough angle. Had the perfect view for that dribble goal from the boundary. Had the perfect view the set shot out of the full.
My observations were that in a defensive situation that is also a marking contest he’s effective in bringing the ball to ground. But not so much for a ground ball contest.
Easy to pick on posts which were made before the events happened because hindsight is a beautiful thing. But apart from woosha proving me wrong and making the moves, Hooker still had to go back for stringer to stay forward which if I didn’t make clear, was my main point.
Was my fav player outside Essendon… loved watching him go about his footy. I think everyone knew what he could bring, it was always a matter of when and I guess how he was played. Wrapt for him. He’s getting more comfortable now. Loved the boys getting around him.
