I've always been a massive wrap on him - was amazed when he was passed over in his draft year. Started off like a bit of a spud though, but I can't remember seeing a player just improve so rapidly like he has. He's genuinely looking like an absolute elite KPP. R1: 9 kicks, 7 handballs, 5 marks, 5 tackles, 9 hitouts, 2 frees for/1a, 2 goals 2 R2: 12 kicks, 6 handballs, 4 marks, 1 tackle, 21 hitouts, 7 frees for/0a, 3 goals 0 R3: 6 kicks, 8 handballs, 2 marks, 4 tackles, 11 hitouts, 2 frees for/1a, no score (injured and subbed at 3QT) R4: 8 kicks, 10 handballs, 2 marks, 1 tackle, 9 hitouts, 1 free for/0a, 1 behind R5: (so far, just into the 4th quarter) 11 kicks, 3 handballs, 7 marks, 2 tackles, 5 hitouts, 2 frees for/2a, 5 goals 2 I mean, he's looking like the most amazing dual ruck/fwd a team can get. Genuine class and just pulled it out so rapidly.
Nah I'm claiming him. Loved him since he kicked the first goal for the Suns and continually questioned why he'd been dropped.
I loved him before that Although I'll confess to semi-writing him off as an elite prospect. But yeah, he's just been immense this year. Every possession is effective too.
