If he were in a TOP 6 Clubs midfield his DE would be much better !!
In every other stat he is borderline Elite !! I had him in our Top 5.
People seem to keep forgetting he has played the grand total of 15 games of AFL football. 99.9% of players who started their careers could only dream of playing like that in their first season. Two or three more pre-seasons and he will have the body to match the skill. And he has Patrick Cripps to show him how to go from being a promising junior into an elite midfielder.
Who cares if he wins the Rising Star award - one of the most pointless awards in the game.
This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?
