Hard runner and worker can fault that

Would be more in favour if he kicked goals early in the game when he gets a few opportunities seems to miss about 2 goals a geme

Unreliable goal sence

Maybe there are currently few better small forward options Needs consistency

In the Mitch Hannan set of things. Plays well every 5 or so games.

Kicking for goal improved dramatically late in the season. Went from one of our worst to the most reliable. Go figure.

He got stitched up for that sling tackle. 2 games was about right 4 was very harsh.

Had his moments besides but just doesn't get his hands on it enough. Consistency isn't there. I'm ambivalent about whether we keep him or let him go.

ANB’s goal kicking accuracy was good this year with 7.0 and 64.41 over his entire career which is not too bad at all.

I wouldn’t be upset if we retain him next year.

Neal-Bullen is just depth, but good depth in that you know what he is going to deliver most weeks. The retention of Hunt probably doesn't help his cause for a new deal next year, although you'd think he would be looking for more regular opportunities elsewhere.

I like Alex he works his but off but seems to drop off after half time. He had a brilliant 2018 so we know he has it in him if we get the mix and intensity right. I would be happy for him to stay but also a bit ambivalent if he decides to go back to SA.

I am ambivalent about Alex.

I love his work ethic and second efforts, but he remains very inconsistent.
