I know that's not enough for some people but if that rubs off on other players that's fine by me.
I think the problem is, your average punter watches the ball. Makes sense.
However, the best players in the league are the best because of what they do when they don't have the ball.
Nick Riewoldt used to cop a lot of flak for his poor kicking. That's what people saw.
However, what people ignored was the 200m sprints he did in order to get the ball, lead + back, lead + back, lead again. By the time he got the ball, he had jelly legs and it affected his kicking.
Hard running is underrated by your average punter. It happens to be one of Daisys strengths.
There is a reason he gets the 'joe the gooses' over the top.
