Better and better every week. Looks the goods. Should get his second goal of the year nom this week. My non-Saints supporting mates are well and truly sick of me singing his praises :lol:

So good. He fluffed that one early but BOY did he make up for it when it really mattered. The composure is simply amazing. Seasoned AFL players just cannot tackle him and he is still only 18. Bloody hell. So strong in the hips. So good on the side step.

That one where he turned on a dime and pushed past Danger on the boundary was just poetry.

Lateral movement is awesome

He'd be a great Half in Rugby League

Fast becoming one of my favorite players.

Don't know if any of you picked it up, but the look of elation on his face after the final siren went was priceless! :)

He was very good particularly in the second half. But gee that goal was just pure class. He was able to think his way through that get past the geelong player with power in his legs and then calmly slots a ridiculous goal. He is a genuinely good pick up for us - is going to be a super player for us.

Gets the Rising Star nom this week. Just backed his judgement to kick the "impossible" goal when others would have panicked.

That's when I knew we would win.

Do we have to proclaim anything? Like is done with so many others..

I think he's shown plenty... But just let him play and develop.

He's not a star, not yet... Hopefully he'll continue to develop.

Great call. I was thinking the same. Hard as nails but has some polish. Really impressive

If the 40 players on the senior list all had his skills level St Kilda would be a shoe in for the premiership.

Going to get awfully impressive when his games progresses to time in the midfield.. Have no doubt he will be a top line player, don't think I've seen many with as much footy smarts as him..

Don't post very often these days, but have to say that, for me, that goal was one of those unforgettable magic moments in St Kilda history: a bit like Schwarze's winning goal against the Lions in 2004.

What a great young player! How long since we've had a young indigenous player at our club who swivel and swerve and dance around opponents like that.

What a fabulous night it was!

His movement and lateral movement, charging around dodging people reminds me of Boomer Harvey.
He is a little bit hungry like boomer too which I like
