We have at the moment a potential 200 game very good player in number 29.  This guy is fantastic to watch and very competitive.  If he can lower his eyes, improve his kicking, he will go from very good player to AFL elite!  Hope our coaches develop this side of his game and he will be a complete player.

What I think also gets overlooked is how tough the kid is.  He can stick a tackle as good as anyone else and he never shirks a contest.  A fantastic weapon to have in our side.

Love him. One of my favourite players. Will only get better from here.❤️?

Today wasn't one of his better games. Turned it over a lot. But if you're gonna turn it over, gaining 90m in the process is probably the way to do it.

The girly headband and flashy style fools opposition players IMO. The guy is no pansy, in fact he's probably only behind Viney and a couple of others as toughest at the club.

He is a genuine weapon for us.  Today was not his best game and he was still able to influence the contest.  We are dangerous and unpredictable with the ball in hand.

Hard as [censored]. And at that speed that's seriously courageous.

Loved the tackle in the second half I think it was on Byrne-jones or Powell-pepper he smashed him over the boundary 

There was no getting out of that tackle by  Powell Pepper. Hunt absolutely nailed him !!!!

And Powell Pepper is no 60 kg weakling.

Fantastic player. His blazing away is his weakness, but as mentioned in the OP, it is the difference between being a very very good player, and an absolute elite player.

Not only is he one of the most exciting players at the club, he one of the most exciting in the AFL. Fast as, hard at it and can kick goals from outside 70....yet to play his 50th game.

I suppose it would be pretty hard to run swo fast and balance at the same time. I have had awful difficulty at either of those skills.

However I agree

He doesn't really have any weaknesses.   Amazing hes come from nowhere and looks like he could be moving to superstardom.

Also loved the way ANB followed it up and gave it to PP as he was getting up. Seriously good stuff from them both.

Any player judging their opponent on their haircut deserves what they get!

Interestingly there's only two demons opposition punters love to watch. Tracca and him.

It's a bit of a dice roll when he disposes of the ball - you know something is going to happen, you're just not sure if it's going to be amazing or something awful.  I think it's a function of his MO of doing everything at maximum speed; he needs to add composure to his repertoire.  

It's not a complaint, though, just an observation.  I commented early on last year that it wasn't just that he's fast, but he's also much tougher than he looks like he should be.  I haven't changed my view.  Just love him.

If he learns to lower his eyes he will earn himself multiple all Australian selections in his career. He ticks so many boxes it is ridiculous!

I was happy to delist him way back when...

Ready to hand back my I-know-better-than-the-footy-dept membership card.

Thanks for sticking fat Todd/Jason/Brendan/Roosy/et al.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
