I don’t mind him in the forward line but his center square efforts have been atrocious.
Would prefer Clarke to take those roations.

Yep totally agree mdso. WTF has happened to him. Is it his knee and lateral movement/speed cause he is far below his best level. Is there any hope for improvement as he is cooked this minute.
I must have been watching a different game last night. I thought he was pretty good, especially in the second half.

I agree. Definite improvement on recent performances.

Dev needs to be based off of a HFF where he can put himself in dangerous positions to score and set up goals
Snelling is better further up the ground as he’s a stronger and more natural onballer than he is a forward, but his handpassing does leave a bit to be desired and his size doesn’t compliment the other mids very well.
Dylan Clarke should be played onball before either of them though, he is the ideal two-way ball winner/distributor we have to compliment our A-list talent.

A few times he’s called for the ball while he’s stationary in space. Each time by the time the ball gets to him it’s spoiled or intercepted. Not sure if the issue is with him or the kicker, but surely it’s better to be on the move than stationary.
Watching the replay - he was good. Covering the ground well, some excellent creative play via hand in traffic to set us up. Hopefully a sign he is running into some form.
Interesting he came to us with a wish to be a mid.
Doesn’t deserve to wear the jumper.
Plain and simple.
I actually thought he has been much better tonight

Pretty harsh for a guy that won a best and fairest 18 months ago. Also not sure what the Criteria for “wearing the jumper” is given our last few decades.
Either way, I’m still a Smith fan.

He’s been better. But disposal has been terrible. But most mids have been the same
Looking more like old dev tonight.

he must be carrying something.
they’ll play him because at 80% he is better than a lot of the squad

Zaharakis has been hounded for on here for being a chip scab for years, this bloke is a lot worse.
Used to tackle and harass and give 200% every second he was on a football field, he only gets out of a gallop when he has a chance to get a disposal now.
Take it elsewhere, peanut.

Trade while we still can get some ROI
Is very slow between the ears and by leg movement. Very slow, certainly not an onballer tbh
