I thought he showed signs, but also felt like he played like a kid not quite ready to make the step up. while he has had some good form at coburg that form has been inconsitant. He doesnt seem to be able to put a full game together at the lower level so we should not expect too much, particularily against a top 4 side.
I'd like to see him given a couple of more games against Melbourne and the gold tops, but if he isnt getting many touches then he needs to go back to a lower level. It doesnt take too long for a kids confiedence to get shattered when he isnt touching the ball.
In the medium term we really need vickery to find some form, or derrickx to step up, if only for structure sake and to reduce ivans workload.
