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.

[Wiseblood 24,637]

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.

[jane02 3,747]

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

[Bang Bang Bang 5,825]

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.

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

[JTR 2,846]

Powell-Pepper. I was just about to post the same thing. 

[deebug 1,754]

Love him,when gets the ball and goes for a run. We need a nick name for the speed demon.

[TeamPlayedFine39 8,503]

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.

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

[pineapple dee 2,892]

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.

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

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

One of the most exciting players in the competition

Brilliant work Jason Taylor

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!

[Dee Dee 1,108]

Looks like Jane, plays like Tarzan.

[Dappa Dan 2,188]

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.

Credit to the fitness staff that they have been able to bulk him up significantly over the years without reducing his speed. It's a fine line.

[low flying Robbo 979]

The best part about him and Frost getting the ball into the forward line is they gain 10-20 metres on the run first then send it long. It's often caught out defenders who are trying to block the leads.

[Adzman 2,154]

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!

[Mach5 4,767]

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

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