Perfect assessment. Composed and focused with the footy. Sometimes looks pretty lazy without it
RCD will be ok, but he’s slow - even tonight, 18 disposals but just 5 kicks. He still can be the big bodied inside midfielder we need. Will need to be a gut runner if he has no getaway speed (as it appears).
I agree David. .... can't expect him to come in and be Riley Cotchin-Prestia!
He might be slow as some suggest but he makes pretty good decisions and who knows what we might have when the rest come back.
Doubt his magnet is being moved to the 'needs a spell' column.

Didn't look slow when he strolled out of the centre square to set up Ross's goal.
One thing I did notice last night is that he does look slow in defensive transition and chase. Looks faster with ball in hand.
Ross is the same.
Our system relies on these guys getting back to help force turnover and surging it forward again. We are lacking this with Prestia, Cotch and Lambert out of the side.

Totally agree. Going well so far but...these are the same sort of comments people were making about Jack Ross and Sydney Stack (and Dean Polo and a hundred other blokes) after a few games. Read the Jack Ross thread now.
There seems to be a bit of tentativeness and lack of urgency on defence or with the bal in dispute.
Same for Ross.
Imo that,s young kids who look for Dusty etc to go first.
It will come and they will ramp up their involvement
Wrong about what ? Kid has only played 4 games ! Ok. You think he’s a star. Great. Good for you. Sounds like premature cheer squad type excitement to me. Only played a handful of games. He was just fair to passable last night. Don’t blow a load over that. Gee amount of times those sorts of early doors assessments have blown up in people’s faces is endless. I’m just gonna continue to watch the rest of the year before juicing up like you are.
He’s not quick. Grimes, Castagna, Balta, Edwards etc are quick. Bunch of attributes but he is not quick in the true sense of the word.

Absolutely. You’d think with one or two people we had a Brownlow winner on our hands. Kid has only played 4 games ffs. People were bagging the *smile* out of him in the VFL and now, after 4 games, he’s a wunderkid.
Give it time.

What?
I was saying I was wrong and you were right and he's not quick.
Some cues in my post: using the word "I". Twice. Also the sentence: "He's not quick."
