I have higher expectations than I did last year.

More kicks, more possessions in general, more impact on the game.  I think he is ready to become a really good player.
What since yr one? The stats say he has stagnated, if we talk purely numbers,  numbers dont lie.
I think TDY is pointing out the area where he wants him to improve, not what he has achieved.

Hasn't materially improved since year 1 but remains a very good player. May become our next whipping boy if he doesn't meet some posters unrealistic expectations.
“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.

Thought his disposal last night was horrible and every time he had the ball I was cringing as to where the ball would end up. Not sure what is wrong with him because he always seemed confident when in possession and now its as if he has no confidence hitting a target by foot. Seems to be in Cotch mode with dinky kicks and sideways pokes just missing targets with alarming regularity.

Looked out of touch like many of his teammates. It's as if they all had the flu!

Would give him a few more chances rather than hang him on one game.

Was poor but not worried about him at all yet.......hope he gets back to the middle eventually though....he can still go back (or indeed even forward) when needed...

miles, s edwards, vlastuin 'b group' types are still better than someone of the more questionable types imho

Yeah nah he was just poor....just because the likes of Morris, Houli & Hamspud were even worse doesn't change the fact...
