May have to give him some "Puma Money" like Richmond did with Dusty.

Not many, if any of those number one picks were the best player taken in the draft.

Since 2014 it looks like "the mail" has been a lot more accurate re pick 1.

 

[koshari]

Not many, if any of those number one picks were the best player taken in the draft.

Also interesting that Carlton, Richmond and godees make up over 25 percent of those number 1 picks

Look at the size of the bloke. He's quick too.

And it was pure leap, just jumped on his shoulders.

In his 4th game almost took MOTY and kicked a monster sealer off one step. …. Whats his 100th game going to look like?

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I’d do unimaginable things to see him monster Bontempelli this week.

 

[DuckYeah]

Fair chance too. Ive seen this kid live, everyone should get to the ground and watch him Friday. Jaw dropping player

 

[czero]

I'm not going to go into the skills and such side, I think his baseline it just fantastic of course and look forward to that development.

But the elite part of his game that has shown the most is his mental. I mean the kid has no fear, no hesitation, no matter what part of the game or what situation, its just raw, clinical, and aggressive decision making. Wonderful.

This is a thing of beauty so much so that it’s replaced the wife on my FB profile pic . She wasn’t happy but I said go watch yesterdays game and then come back to me .

I loved how he weaved through traffic numerous times on Saturday, even delivering some very smart grubbing kicks down the line. His high footy smarts mean that he is often thinking two or three steps ahead of not only the opposition, but his teammates too.

 

[Supreme_Chancellor]

Does anyone have footage of this 'almost goal' I've heard so much about?

He copped a bit yesterday as well - stuff that might have been paid as frees to plenty of other players. He stood up to it every time and gave a bit back as well. Don't see him getting too much protection from umpires but I also don't see him asking for it either.

Mini-Match: Sydney v North Melbourne

Extended highlights of the Swans and Kangaroos clash in round four

What I hadn't noticed on first watch was the only reason the ball got to him was because he kamikaze ran through to try and smother McInerny.

 

[northbergs]

Wants to play in a successful side ?

Don’t understand the rhetoric around looking to go to a ‘successful side’ after 4 rounds.

Every single #1 draft pick (except if Academy or FS) is by definition starting their career with the previous season’s worst team, and all end up extending their initial contract. Can’t see why this would be any different with JHF.

4 games in, going beautifully and all you read on here is worried sad sacks about him going home
