Kick a few drop punts and it's a 6/10

Hoping for 30+ snags from him but he's got his work cut out to remain in the side. Same as Butler. Fair bit of competition for spots.

Good season would be to kick at anything 60% or better, 3+ tackles/game and keep up the good work IMO.

Bloke has averaged over 2 shots/game so I'd like to see him kick around 30.20 or better.

I hope he pulls a Luke breust and becomes gun barrel straight. While it's not fair to pot him all the time often his misses are momentum Killing

I'm more worried about his decision making. It can be ropey at times.

If he could kick straight and hold his marks he’d be one of the most dangerous small forwards in the comp.

Our most important small forward the last couple of years IMO, and considering the previous 2 years, that’s pretty impressive.
He is much more important than the stats will ever say.
Competes in the air as well as all the other things a quality small forward is supposed to do- run, chase, tackle, harass, and kick goals.

He is no superstar by any stretch and he is not a natural goal kicker, but he is the type of player that makes players around him better. He works hard, is super quick and is improving each year.

His good outweighs his bad 10 fold and I’m sure Dimma just encourages him to do more of the stuff  he does well.

And he is only 22.

Is the one to miss out imo.

We dont need three  dedicated  sml fwds  not when you have Lambert, Edwards, higgins  Butler, Rioli already in the team.

He doesnt actually lay a lot of tackles and he doesn't kick a lot of goals and his skillset remains deplorable.

If the expectations are we only need em to chase and harass then the expectations are pretty darn low.
