C'mon mate give me a break haha. He's breaking blokes in two out there nobody told me that

 

[chubbspeterson]

Without the stand on the oppo head ability? Do we have to drag out the hanger he took in the goal square against Coburg last year? Carlie can stand on heads, trust me.

I stand corrected but I don't think he launches as much as Waite used to at this stage.

 

[Harris 10]

I stand corrected but I don't think he launches as much as Waite used to at this stage.

I actually think he’s far more aggressive in a marking contest than Waite ever was, He splits packs open and creates opportunities for smalls.

We haven’t seen it at AFL level yet.

We saw Waite at the end of his career when his experience would have had him running and jumping at more contests, especially up the ground.

 

[Makeshift Park]

Rewatched the game last night, and even though I knew they were coming, his tackles made me audibly guffaw.

Fearless.

 

[The acurate one]

Ha yeah it has been mentioned a long ways back that he is extremely aggressive.

Which is why a lot our big into him.

• Aggression
• Speed
• Agility

All packed into a 199cm 94kg package, those types don't grow on trees


And for the masses, Waite was a freak, a one of a kind.

 

[Caracas]

He is the epitome of win or halve the contest

exactly what you want from a KPP

You mean “halve the opposition “.

I learnt yesterday that 1 ruckman + Chom is the way forward. It gives him an opportunity to get up the ground and into the game.

So much to like about his performance. So pleasing to see such an impact from a young key and not need to be off the back of a bag of goals. I have no doubt a 4+ game will come, but he brings so much more then just that.

So excited to see what we have in 50-100 games.

I'm excited to see his NEXT game. He's that sort of player.

Agree with everything else you said too.

Only a matter of time until he grabs a game by the scruff of the neck

 

[ferball]

Its only a matter of time (about 44 hrs) till he grabs the next opposition player by the scuff of the neck too.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Heart bigger than Phar Lap. They'll start sticking soon, big fella. Your time will come.

 

[AnEmptyChair]

that was as big a shinboner performance as you will ever see. he was ****ing gassed halfway through the 2nd quarter but just kept competing

unreal effort from the big man

 

[Grogg]

Deadset mongrel beast.

 

[roomagic1984]

His pressure acts are immense. Would love to know what his numbers are?

9 pressure acts according to the afl app

 

[SammyRoo]

The guy is an animal.

Fast, mobile and big leap.

Seems comfortable in the ruck too

A couple of seasons under his belt …. And will be great.

 

[susurrar]

the commentators were loving him. hes so fun to watch already.

he has superstar potential. make no mistake. just needs games.

 

[Shack18]

So much fun to watch him play, boy what a competitive beast. Will be Avery good player

 

[Devington]

Just got to pat him on the back and tell him to go again next week. It'll click sooner rather than later.

 

[Liam Boy]

he looked soooooo tired and didn't stop fighting. love him

 

[LuvtheKangas]

Love him. Won't be long before his profile rises, given he's such a beast.

 

[Flawed Genius]

The required effort

 

[hellas_johnny]

Was butchered a couple times by the umpires for bullshit frees but his competitiveness played a big part tonight. Loving it

 

[justroyal]

Does he need a rest? Not like in the two’s or anything. But like a week off from cramping and playing fatigued? Poor guy threw himself at everything.

Player.
