Took a nice mark with his face and then tackled the wrong bloke at one point, can't complain about his intent...  He has a nice long kick bit like griff if he ever gets his mitts on it but his mitts seem to be the issue, he seems unco marking and handballing.  Might be a case of adjusting to the pace of the big boys league and needing some game time to adjust but yeah he was the bunny last night, easy passage through him

Not sure he can be given anymore time. Me? I seen enough

We cannot afford to have his non output against Adelaide next week.

It's an indictment on Elton that we didn't even bother using him as the 2nd ruckman option in our F50.

Sums it all up really

Self belief is a most powerful thing and i don't think Todd has it. At VFL level he can take many contested marks and positions himself in good spots to do so. This hasn't translated at the next level for all sorts of reasons but you need to believe you belong at the level to have a chance of succeeding.

Very harsh.

Looking at your posts I can see your frustration but I feel in this case your comments are harsh and

misdirected. I believe we need to keep not as a back up but as an enforcer. Greg Stafford on Spider

It's perfect for a deflection. At least he didn't use Griff this time

Would you prefer I asked you that question in the Astbury topic?

I just would like to know what you thought of his game? A KPP player of 65 games.

You obviously have an opinion on a 6 game KPP, so I just wanted to see how you judge players both being KPP. Not really that hard to comprehend is it?

And if the question is too hard just deflect again.
