He might actually be the smartest player in the competition. Pound for pound I think he has a slight ways to go to beat Cripps or Bontempelli for impact on games, but he is carrying around a very very big beautiful brain.
He's the thinking person's footballer.

Being overly critical now, I know. But the last few or maybe more games, I’ve seen him do a jy type of of turn over where he has slowed the movement down but laced it out directly to the opp player.
Don’t get me wrong, they’re all nice kicks, just oddly directly to the opp player
 
Thing is he practices bouncing the ball like that. He’s basically created a new footy skill and perfected it at age 19. I’m sure other people have done it before (Powelly comes to mind actually) but this is becoming something he uses regularly.
Reckon we might have to come up with a new challenge for him, like simultaneously solving a rubiks cube whilst doing so?

He is wasted bamboozling blokes like cripps!

Better than Bont?

Cant believe im saying this, but he might end up better than Carey.

He's pretty good.


But it's simply not possible.

Because not even GAJ is better than Carey imo.

It's not possible for a midfielder to be as good as Carey and Ablett Snr in my opinion.

The closest time I have ever considered it might've been possible was West Coast Judd, but he didn't sustain it for his career, despite winning a Brownlow at Carlton.

You can't even use the age card.

Because what Carey was doing at 20 was probably even more impressive than what Sheez is doing as a 19 year old mid given the size and physicality of that era of key defenders.

Gaz Snr is probably the most talented footballer ever, if he didn't have a screw loose and had the competitiveness and team drive that Duck had, he could have been the undisputed #1.
