First game, no dramas with him getting a game (i picked him as an IN) but i think he has a long way to go at AFL level. Made a few dumb decisions, got caught a few times including getting absolutely dumped in the middle, and showed he is not up to AFL level yet........which i don't expect him to be.Thought his skills were ok, he kicks both feet unlike the rest of the team and for the most part was composed.
However, plenty saying they thought he was great.....i didn't see that. I saw a player playing his first game, and it showed. Plenty of room for improvement. For comparison, look at Hollands and Cowan. They put on a clinic in their first game by comparison.
Pick the lad again next week by all means....but lets not get too excited.
He wont get a tougher test than the Saints playing the old Freo footy and having his more experienced teammates making dumb decisions because they cant move the ball forward. He was playing on some of the best small forwards in the game and it would have been a real step up in class and a new experience for him and I thought he went ok and deserves a game vs West Coast who dont have that same quality personnel.
