Looks like he has turned the corner and has made the grade.

Excellent game

Thinking the same. He did have a marvellous first quarter against Bulldogs until he got injured. I've seen a noticeable improvement or as Dyre would say "he's levelled up".
Think the penny has dropped somehow. He was inspired on the weekend. We need this to improve
 
He's getting more of the ball and playing pretty well.

Will say though that some of his kicking late in the game vs Geelong was terrible.

Was right behind it and he chose the wrong option multiple times. Short is a better option for kick outs.

Yeah more the wrong option than poor kicks i think. His kicking out earlier in the game was terrific though.
 
The fwd experiment early in the year failed..... back where he belongs in defence and pinch hitting in the midfield
 
Love this guy. Mr reliable. Would not like to see him traded.

I floated the idea and still would. BUT the price has gone up.

In career form. Is a cross between Rance's intercepting and Houli's lines breaking pace.

Yeh, I can sorta see the logic, we have cover for the spot et, but he's such a calm, tough player that I think will excel in finals. Can't have enough good users and decision makers when the pressure is on. The likes of Houli, Kmac & to a lesser extent Broad make me extremely nervous when the heat is on. This guy fits in well with the big 3 back there.
 
His last month has been seriously good. I can see now how he was highly rated and he has found some pace.
 
Think his opponents are afraid of getting too close to his red beard the way he's shrugging off tacklers.
 
Is it just me or did he once again nearly get in the votes today? He has been great in the last 4-5 weeks
