He is certainly going better than what we have waiting in the wings and he is a tall that we need down back. He has at least had a go this year and supported Rance. Not far off clicking for him, the worst thing that could happen is that he gets dropped for one of Hardwicks clowns.

That's shocking.

Played a great game but some will say he is the new Batchelor because of his shocking turnover in the 1st :shh

Good signs tonight. I hope this becomes his base standard for here on in.

I reckon he was a good defender before he was injured for ages, he just needs games to get there again

Was ok, imroovement on what he normally delivers.

Needs to be the norm now, playing for his future I would think

Yes he did show better form tonight & went for the ball with confidence. Maybe that is what he was lacking before tonight game as he seemed to present & took some good telling marks. As long as his body holds up & he takes contested marks & moves the ball long & forward l'm happy. he was doing well befor injury & it does take some time for players to get back into playing the top level. Unlike some other clubs who pump their injured players with drugs & they comeback 1st game as superstars :snidegrin
