Flossy has really got something. Hopefully last year was an aberration and this season he will show us his real potential. Bravery is not enough, we need playmaking as well
 
Love Flossy, but he dosnt look to have overcome his lack of a tank. If he can build one up he will be a hell of a good player!
 
Just love this bloke his courage can never be question he will put his body on the line every time I just hope that dimma plays him in the Medfield this year as I believe that’s where he plays his best football.

Yep if he can build up that tank he's gonna become one hellova midfielder. Has courage, determination, disposal skill and football nous.

How do you come to the conclusion he hasn't added to his tank on the first nab game, not a single player ever dosent feel the pinch in the first hit out of the year

Would love him in the midfield too, but yesterday was the perfect chance to try him through the middle but he played most of the game in defence. I suspect we will see him half back for all of 2015.
 
Looked good and has great toughness

Problem is he still can't get the ball more than 12 times a game.

That's tge issue, but he still has time
 
His a good one just not sure he has the pace for the midfield but his only going to get better shame Conca hasn't stepped up

It was always a concern over him even before he was drafted. I did say "dosnt look to have." Happy to judge it as the season(s) roll on. He is such a good player. But at the ground it seemed like he was still struggling with his fitness. More so than other's.

I want him to become our version of Luke Hodge.

For all his courage he needs to find the footy a hell of a lot more for that comparison to be on planet earth Tooheys.

That's the big question mark for Nick.
 
:hihi

I reckon it's a great comparison LD

It's the way tigger plays.

He'll breakout I suspect.

Interestingly Daisy I typed in the same age before drawing the comparison and it was pretty favourable. ;)

No doubt needs to win more ball though to get to Hodge numbers. Could happen yet.
