He's got very good leg speed for a bloke his size but a couple of times today he hesitated momentarily before he chased, it's as if he loses touch with the game sometimes, or is so focussed on his own game that he forgets the simple things.
He's never going to be a top player but we might finally get some value from him.
I was thinking the same thing and was going to write as much in the match thread.
There was one period of play (probably third quarter) where he was in a contest twice in a couple of minutes and the ball came to ground and he just stopped while his Port opponent went after the ball.
It's not that he's timid and afraid of the contest...that's actually one of his strengths
It's not that he's slow in the chase.
I don't think it's a case of "picking and choosing" when to go either
It's just a momentary hesitation at times where he seems to lose focus.
Having said that he seems to be getting better and more involved each week....and I'm really pleased for him after the criticism he's copped.
He's earned himself a few more games
