Such a good mover too!  He looks great playing up the ground, manages to find space and weave out of traffic when it's there.  

We've got a real player here.

    Its the unexpected goal, almost freakish when he creates a scoring opportunity out of nothing. 

    A will of the wisp that no defender can nullify all game.

    We have not had a player like this for a long time.

    And this type of player is invaluable.

    Agreed.  

    In his first few games he struck me as a bit of an 'opportunist'; someone who hung out the back of the pack and got lucky with a loose ball or found himself fortuitously on the end of a string of handballs.  

    However, this happens far too often to be a fluke- he has the very rare ability to place himself in the right place at the right time routinely.  He reads and understands the play and gameplan exceptionally well.

    He must be close to the quickest hand-to-boot footballer in the league. The goal this week, and last, and I think two in his debut, they almost happened quicker than the eye - in that I really had no idea what had happened in that very moment until the ball was on its journey. How is anyone supposed to defend that?

    Uh huh. He does it so quick and so off balance that it can't be a fluke. Clarry's hands and Hannan's boot are things that can only be appreciated in slo mo during a replay.

    I agree.

     

    His hand-to-foot seems ultra quick and sharp.  Looks special.

    The kid is deceptively tall. The way he looks physically, and also the way he moves like a small forward. Very hard match up!

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.
