Is one of the highest upside talents we’ve ever had at the club IMO.
He’ll do 3-4 things a game where you go: “Wow, this kid is going to be special.” And then another one or two where you go: “Aarrrggghhhh, crap!”
But he always looks to take the game on and break the game apart and create for his teammates. For the past 3 years we have been one of the most stagnant and boring teams to watch that you have to give him props because I reckon he will turn into the best half back in the league some time soon.
His skill and vision is only going to get even better as time goes on and he almost has an unlimited ceiling at this point because no one really knows just how good he is going to be, probably including himself, but he is going to naturally progress and mature as the years go on and only get even better.
Look at Gleeson this year. Look at the difference a season can make.
James Kelly would be a magnificent role model and leader for the likes of young McGrath and Conor down there in the backline.
Hie improvement along with Belly have been two reasons for the change in the team style and performance over the last 2 months. Having the pace at the back is so important.
Didn’t want to celebrate the goal (with Myers?) in the slightest. In fact I reckon he brushed him off like he was in a grumpy mood or it was no big deal (anyone do a gif?)
And with the team song, it looked like he thought the whole thing was a bit naff. Do they sing team songs in Gaelic footy after a win?
And with regards to his clangers, attacking HBF’s like him & Gleeson take the game on & go for high risk/high reward kicks. I love it, but they are always exposed to either get run down from behind, or their kicks might miss their mark. Better than a sideways chip any day of the week.
