What a young gun. All class.
In the end the rain comes down, washes clean the streets of a blue sky town.

Just keeps getting better... at times he looks like he has been a backman for us for years, thats how much he has grown.
Those field kicks... I am in awe.
What a player we have on our hands and he is still a way off reaching his full potential
Watch him poll well in the Brownlow because it was form like this in the second half of last year in the VFL that was his making

I have a lazy eye and I think it is now spreading throughout the rest of my body

Mate, he is no where near his full potential. What we're seeing is the bottom of the curve. This kid is a gun, always has been. it seems like he's been on the list forever but he's only 21 years old. His best will be from 25-28 once his body really matures and he has the experience to use it.DaVe86 wrote:He keeps getting better. I still don't think he has reached his full potential.
Enjoy watching the ride because this kid is going to be truly special.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

i reckon all the knockers who have pinged him on this chat forum should suck it up and admit they were wrong. The kid's a ripper, I've always thought so myself and defended him at all times. Knew he'd click at some stage and start producing the goods. Go Chop.

Fantastic to see another 'write-off' making his own name. Reid, Toovey, L. Brown, Swan (if we go back a few years)... if we win the flag this year, the medal presentation is going to be very satisfying indeed.
