He's going ok but his game is a bit patchy currently.
Beautiful goal on the run tick. Effort overall tick. He's trying no doubt.
However needs to continue building strength & endurance to AFL required levels as a predominantly outside player.
Also I find his field kicking a bit ropey & panicked still.
Some of these things might be easily ironed out over time. Some may not be.
Time will tell.

Not physical enough at the contest or intense enough at the drop of the footy.
Needs to work on this instead of his hair.
I like him streaming towards goal though he's a pretty deadly shot on the run.
Just have to keep playing him off half back but he does need to go harder in contest - was poor in that area today.
Surprised to see him on page 3. Kid is playing some good footy. His gut running between the arcs is a delight.
I thought he played a ripper tonight. Great run, hard at winning the ball and great spoiling despite umpires *smile* judication
Yeah, just needs to refine his kicking a bit. He’s not a terrible kick just prone to the odd howler as you say.
I actually thought the umpires got it right with him last night. He gets to a lot of contests, but can be pretty ragged when he arrives. Might be a fatigue thing, might just be a pace of the game thing.
He’s fast, has dash, so it looks like he’s at the level - but I reckon he’s using that speed to make up for a lack of anticipation sometimes, and that’s when he arrives on the scene like a freight train with no brakes.
Considering he’s only played a handful of games, that’s fine - however he’ll keep getting noticed by the umps until he cleans things up a bit.
Keep pushing the games into Raaaalllllph, by the time he's got 40 to 50 games under the belt he'll have worked out the little bits n pieces he needs to tidy up n be a bloody handy line breaker for us.
Not everyone plays the hard nut tough game n a couple of blokes like Bash n Grigga used to get the *smile* ragged out of them for not being physical contested beasts or perfect ball users. Pretty sure they turned out all right for us.

I thought his defensive efforts were greatly improved. Some nice spoils. It looks like he has the offensive game and is upping it on the defensive side as well
