Fogarty has come from a good system and probably only lacked opportunity but its still early days but is ahead of a lot of other midfield candidates on our list.
Parks did some good things but Freo are not a yardstick team and I have reservations about his kicking under pressure.
Saad...been top shelf, defended, attacked with dash and can hit targets under pressure......tick.
Williams....started well vs Collingwood but then faded and got ragged with his kicking think it was 20 disposals @50%.
Vs Freo he was using the ball well but got a knock and that seemed to restrict him.
He is probably the key player out of all of new recruits as he is playing in a main midfield role and we need him getting plenty of ball so he can use those kicking skills. IMO he needs to be getting 25-30 possies a game with a DE% of 75% plus to be earning his money. He needs time to develop as its a new FT role for him in the midfield and also build a bond with his other mids and learn how they play so we will see how goes and its probably more fair to judge him around the middle of the season.
