Highlight reels usually impress, and this did.

However the road is longer than a highlight reel - he can do it but can he do it?

His talent is there, if we see it in a consistent way we will be a weapon. But it's still a big if.

If he continues to play at the level he played at for the last 7-8 games of 2019, he'll be very valuable. 

Yes, he has the potential to be much more than that but I do think he's unfairly maligned at times.

Either way, I'm glad he plays for us.

Interesting to see how many he out-marks just through sheer judgment and body mass dominance. He had the goal-kicking yips for two weeks and so many wrote him off as being 'overweight'. He's getting it together, now; he has more confidence in his actions, reactions and scoring opportunities. I like the boy. He is starting to lead to space, as well, which will double his tally from 'usual' static receives.

We all know he needs to work on his tank and this pretty much confirms it. Going by that video quarter by quarter goals kicked (unknown = 1)

That pretty much follows the entire team.  There were issues that caused it that hopefully have been addressed by Burgess.  I don’t think it was preseason surgeries.

Agree that he needs to improve the tank. It does require good balance though to maintain some of his size as his strength is a real asset.

Those stats could also be seen as; In some games this year he was our only dangerous looking forward. Shut down Trac, shut down Melbourne. I’m hoping a fit and firing TMac, Melksham, Fritta, will free him up.

He had a fair few games where he played really well, but kicked 2-4, instead of 4-2. He seemed to miss a lot of gettable set shots. It would have turned a decent season into a very good one.
