Or is it just me. Doesn't seem to have the skill level required in the big league. Might be a handy ressies player, but that's it for me.

Are Y joking?? I was watching Y bag him last night at every opportunity. He is a very good back up on baller.

You are going to look quite silly over the next few years.

Only made a couple of errors ... had 19 disposals, 6 tackles and 1 goal assist from about 80% gametime ...


IMO he's a solid midfielder who will never be spectacular, but will provide good depth over the next 4-5 years for the Saints.


Can win the footy and is composed when he gets it.

Should feature more regularly next season, and I reckon he will have a solid career with us.


They should only play AFL games now when it's raining. Slow games of footy are so much better to watch.

May well prove to be a good replacement for the role AT has played over the last few seasons.

His past month or so has been very good. Has definitely moved ahead of Thompson, McQualter and Armitage for a spot. His skills are very good, he works hard, he kicks goals and tackles well.

He just needs to keep his feet. Too many times he dives down to the ground to get the ball and lets opposition pick it up and run away uncontested.
