AFL Rd 9 2023 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Western Bulldogs

Agreed but even his kicking has devolved and he adds to the turnover tally - maybe trying to thread the needle into too-small spaces.

Yep, you can argue that he is still rusty after a long lay off, or you can argue that he is trying to be a play maker, trying to make things happen, and is therefore going for the more difficult disposals. Either way, his good outweighs his bad by a considerable margin IMO.
