AFL Rd 6 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs St Kilda

[kruddler]

Thought his skills were ok, he kicks both feet unlike the rest of the team and for the most part was composed.
He wont get a tougher test than the Saints playing the old Freo footy and his more experienced teammates making dumb decisions because they cant move the ball forward. playing on some of the best small forwards in the game would have bene 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.

Skills are ok, but we knew that. No good having good skills under no pressure though. You need them in the heat of the battle....and he is not there yet.

As i said, i'd pick him next week, against the Eagles is perfect. He is struggles with the pressure there, send him back to the 2's to remind him of how good he can be once he gets the tempo. Don't burn him out too soon.
