When people described things like his willingness to break through tackles and play on from a mark, I got nervous picturing a guy who was just bigger than everyone else and stomped through them, or who was so used to being able to get past the opponent on the mark that he automatically went for it.

So I'm pleased with the details where he clearly knows to turn his direction just a little and give his body a twist to shake tackles off, rather than just crash through them, and he also lands on his feet ready to move after he takes a mark, which gives him a one-step advantage if he decides to take on the marker.

My read is that his strengths come from things which are innate - instinctive play and simple physical advantages - while his weaknesses are trainable if he is willing to do the dreary grind to correct them - the ball drop and the handball power.

Could really be something if he chooses to.

Unlike Viney then....
