More consistency, still goes missing in games too much.

Needs to improve his accuracy in front goal. Kicks the impossible but misses the easy ones.

Would like to see him spend more time in the middle, especially earlier in games

Going at about 51% in front of goal not counting OOTF.

If he can get that to 60% he would be genuinely elite.

And/Or he drags his disposal average up to over 24

Is a sublime talent. Reckon we will see his best if and when we play finals again.
Can barely remember but didn’t he take a screamer in the final vs lions?
Anyways, he is a big time player and will reward us ten fold in the big games.

Less funky stuff when you’re only 30m out from goal .. Dude leaves so many “easy “ goals on the table …..then does something spectacular, and we forget he missed a sitter being impulsive while  kicking around the corner.

I really hope he tidies up this area of his game because he has the potential to be truly elite .
