Only two tackles? I thought he had a couple more, his pressure game is improving

 

[Psi-Roos]

BOG for us today just about

 

[Chadwiko]

Has comfortably been a top 5 player for us through the first 5 games.

Yep. people have been saying he needs a decent coach and it is showing

 

[Billy Not Really]

Clarko's been using him well, finally someone other than Bucks who knows how to and does so much more intuitively than throwing him deep forward in a team that needs to get it forward.

 

[shinboner magic]

Was good and his head is in the game this season.

 

[Roo Beauty]

7 goals in the last 2 weeks.

 

[leighlee13]

He definetly looks like he is playing with a lot of confidence now.

 

[Themanbun]

On track for a 40 goal season

 

[Hardcore North]

Really happy for him. A shining light in a woeful performance. Has copped a lot along the way and would be great to see him become consistently elite.

 

[year of the roo]

He's had a good year, but let's not credit this to Clarko. He could have gone out and done this last year, but didn't. His turnaround is on him. Well done.

 

[Ligma]

I would die for him

 

[Passmore]

Hard to knock a bloke who took the meagre opportunities offered to him today.

 

[Luke72]

Playing really well this year, good on him.

 

[Handsome.B.Wonderful]

He's had a good year, but let's not credit this to Clarko. He could have gone out and done this last year, but didn't. His turnaround is on him. Well done.

Noble had him in more positions than the Kama Sutra last year so it’s unsurprising he didn’t play consistent footy.

He has two modes. One is finding the right spot and being dangerous, the other is when he’s feeling great he starts roaming and winning the ball. It all seems to start from deep forward.

Noble had him in more positions than the Kama Sutra

Finally something to chuckle over after a day to otherwise forget.

 

[The Nostradamus]

[Harris 10]

I feel like he’s been stripped of all his confidence over the last few years.

The first two weeks he’s started to show signs he’s getting it back slowly.

Clarko, confirming my belief.

 

[Finn Jim]

Interesting that often in his career he's been called out as a downhill skier at times. 4 goals in a forgettable game for the team could mean he's breaking that?

Also his first goal was a reward for a pressure act and tackle. He's definitely starting to put the right pieces in the right places!

He is working harder as well. Good fri game he was cracking in all day.

He's kicked 7 goals in consecutive losses. Imagine if we won a game by 50...

 

[king of the road]

I thought he did the things he’s had to work on well - tackled, held position and structure and tracked back.

That keeps him in the team. If he keeps doing that, the other things will come and he’ll start kick goals.

Then everyone will think he’s great again.

As I said after Rd 1…

Was actually going to post before the GF game that he’d been doing the ground work and would get on the end of a few. But I didn’t.
