You can't give it a score out of 10 without a quick sniff yourself

Let's be honest, there's Nothing more satisfying than expecting to squeeze out a, say 5-6 and pushing out a surprise 9. Then get a good vantage point to watch friends and family members reactions as they drift into the danger zone. Like walking through soup.

But I digress......

Love the way he plays especially when he tries to mark rather than spoil in defence. When he can eliminate those silly errors he is prone to he will be very good. I might be in the minority here but i'd like to see him stay down back for at least this year. Seems to naturally read the play better from behind the ball.

Have bagged the guy but hear he is taking pain killing injections and Is playing with a juiced up ankle each week
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

Can't be too bad if he's surfing on the days off ;)

I just think he stagnated after his first year. Maybe bagged is a strong word as he has been okay but not stepped up from year 1.

I think he can't get better having to blanket opposition forward line players every week. He needs to be moved into the middle before he gets too used to playing down back.
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

We talk about potential a lot at Richmond. Not the kids fault but then.....

i agree should have been in the midfield some time ago

yet our backline will be significantly weaker

Yep love this kid. Has a real presence. To me he plays and has the demeanour like he's already the leader of the back 6.
