I gave him 5

When  he was thrown in the guts he looked great. Reckon he should spend more time there as it would make him a better player

But apart from that he just didn't seem to improve much if at all on previous seasons

his best games were when he went into the midfield against swans and hawks.  never to be seen there again.  hardwick must have forgotten or was sidetracked while talking about finals and icebergs and vickery
Does anyone have half an idea on anything?

An ordinary season by a kid who has now around long enough for us to expect elite performance. This is an issue of application, player development and opportunity
“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.

2 at best
Don't know who gave him 10  :lol
Has no motor therefore restricted to playing behind the ball
Lost crucial contests during games which resulted to plenty being kicked on him

In a quantitative sense has not developed.

Looking like hey may join the likes of Conca as another failed first rounder.

Slots into the back 6 and holds his position through executing very basic and generally accountable football you'd expect from an ok pick 40-50.

Lack of other back 6 options at the club putting pressure on his selection and indirect game plan has probably stifled his development.

If he doesn't have the tank to go in the midfield questions need to be asked.

Would be an A grader at Hawthorn or Bulldogs.

Nowhere near that at Richmond.

Do you get my drift? :whistle

Highlights terrible player development.

Kid can play but has stagnated under Dimma.

Gave him a 4. Seemed beaten this year at too many crucial times. Expect 2017 to be a much better season
