The lad tackles hard, you know if he tackles you, you'll feel it. - Very true
He finds the pill and space well. - Finding space is something he does very well and it certainly fits into a desire to retain possession because he is strong enough and tough enough to mark less than ideal passes.
And generally uses the ball well. Very good overhead too. - Very true
And he's not as 'slow' as many think.... - Here I disagree - he is either very slow or lacks the desire to chase - I think he is very slow - - often becomes more competitive in the second half when opponents get slower
I'm not saying he's quick, but not certainly slow.
If he can get 20-25 touches a week, that fills a void. - Very true - IMO the main problem is that he has not been able to provide the midfield clearance role for which he was recruited because when he wins the ball he commonly historically has tended to get caught with it.
Finals, then 4 in a row!
