Absolutely love him. He's already my new favourite player for the Dees.

I'm wondering if he has the confidence to kick straight running into goal? All his highlights at SANFL, preseason and over the weekend shows that he prefers to run around in a circle and snap. This will see him run into a lot of trouble later, hoping he has the confidence to just back himself in and kick straight. He hesitated a few times when he had that opportunity and either wanted to pass it off or nearly got chased down.

Regardless, love what he brings.

I'm guessing that what he is actually doing is dodging in towards the corridor to be more directly in front of goals and reduce the angle to create a higher percentage shot on goal.

i was fearful he was gonna break his duck egg at one stage when he got the ball out wide in one piece of play

good to see he did NOT take the opportunity

Love Latrelle's energy, and when he starts to get some composure to finish his work that is going to be seriously scary for defenders. I was so worried he'd ran himself into trouble with his goal, and on the telly I thought it had hit the post, but when everyone got around him a had a huge grin on my face!

I do wonder how long before opponents catch on that he does this thing.... runs straight.. then zags to the right ( his ) to skirt round a defender. ( bouncing when required )

Hopefully a lot lot more in bag of tricks 👍

I believe he’s working on a new trick, zagging left.

When Trelly was dancing through the Saints defence in the 3rd quarter, one of the commentators on Fox said he reminded him of Flash Davey. And I reckon he’s right if you watch it again, just the way he weaved around oppo players. It was a really good call

Speaking of Aaron Davey, it was nice to see him tossing the coin before the match.

Lots of positivity around Latrelle's debut, and deservedly so.

I did see that he was only one of three Melbourne players not to make a tackle on Sunday.

That really needs to be a non-negotiable for a player in that role. There are going to be days where he doesn't get opportunities to kick goals, so he simply has to find other ways to contribute.

Not everyone kicked a goal either. I don't think it was lack of effort to tackle and more there wasn't a genuine opportunity to.

Laid a great one in the practice match against Richmond that lead to a goal. He knows how to do the defensive stuff.
