Nice ball user, looks laconic, and therefore attracts the same criticisms as Bryce. Ostensibly an inside/outside mid, he ends up being deployed as a fixer / utility, played wherever it suits the team, and this, in combination with injuries, means his AFL life can be summarised in one word : unsettled. He was a building some nice momentum in 2019 and 2020. We won't know if he can take the next step by playing him in the magoos. This is the season to find out IMO.Yes agreed, fans have very short memories.
It's interestingly to me why with some players fans forget the good yet remember the bad, while other players get the inverse treatment. At best it makes the commentary by fans arbitrary and inconsistent, at worst they seem blatantly biased!
