Thought he was amongst our best half dozen last night - one of the few that never stopped trying all game. Need to keep playing him.

First half he seemed to get a heap, checked the stats and had it just 8 times. Must have been 8 bloody memorable possessions because he seemed to be everywhere at times.

He is a forward played back because he is a very good kick so we need to hit targets coming out of defense.
Really needs a better hair style though! ;D
OER. Calling it as it is since 2004.

In worry donuts is a little short/fat/slow

But I like him. Looks a footballer. I'd keep him but assuming he's getting dropped/delisted

Has had a good slab of games but I thought he was poor overall against North. Bring in someone like Helbig in his place.

Not sure what people see in Helbig. He might be okay but I would think Donuts game against North would be out of Helbigs reach.

perhaps. I'd still like to see what he offers again before list decisions are finalised.

Yep have to agree on that, deserves a few games in a row to at least show what he's got

I must admit I don't really see much in Matt.
I just cannot see what roll he would play in a decent side?
A lock down small back?
An attacking HBF?
A wingman?
Small forward?
What?
Is there a good player out there that people think he might become?

I'm with you on this one. Has some pace but his disposal is poor. Why draft a small forward to play him in defense?

The bloke is a small forward. We just make him look poo by playing him back.

The jury is still out with me. Has limitations but has endeavour.

How many of these blokes do we need?

Reminds me of Jake King when he first arrived. All heart with iffy disposal.

Looked good in pre season especially the game at Punt Rd against the Bombers but that seems so long ago I am starting to question whether even that is relevant to the present.
