absolute dud. 17 of some of the worst games ive ever seen. The last 2 are top 5.

not sure he has ever put on weight but wikipedia has him at 76kgs, which is laughable in itself. Not sure that is true but he plays like he weighs 50kgs

no offence to some of them as they would have no problem tackle his sorry arse to the ground.

I've defended this kid so far this season, benefit of the doubt as they say

Not today, lost me with that not even half hearted effort in the 3rd, which resulted in an incredibly soft Port goal. Thomson Dow when you see the replay, you should be embarrassed

Posted the above on the match day thread

Can't defend him after today.

12 possessions as a midfielder is deplorable output.

So what attributes does he possess to make anyone think that we should be patient with him and see him blossom into a league standard midfielder?


Is he a tackling machine? NO!
Is he an excellent in and under extractor? NO!
Is he sublimely skilled slicing and dicing hitting chests in F50? NO!
Is he an adequate stopper that could develop into a quality future tagger? NO! 
Is he a footy brain that seems to know where the footy is going to be before it gets there? NO!
Is he equipped with superior speed and can out dash opposition with elite pace? NO!
Is he like superman and can leap tall buildings in a single bound? NO!
Is he built like a brick poohouse? NO!!!
Is he a fearless warrior unconcerned for his own wellbeing? NO!!!!!!

Then why is he on our list?   :rollin

Don't worry about the possessions the effort go when it's your turn. Lazy and look disinterested.

Quick hands but that’s about it.

“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.

As a midfielder possessions count. The fact he is getting so little of the ball is deeply concerning.

Much better today but I'm skeptical because I'm not sold on him at all. Dime a dozen type and way too soft in general. A fools gold type.

Can he prove me wrong? I hope so but not holding my breath.

Maybe playing him will increase his trade value for a decent pick.

Better today

But as I said in the match day thread some of his defensive efforts where he jogged along and refused to chase were embarrassing
