He hasn't been too bad this season, fair to say pretty good but the last month has been elite, definitely worked on his flaws, ironed them out and is a key player in the forward line.

Ben Keays, I was way way way wrong about you

can't fault his effort. He is the hardest running player out there and always has leg speed. I was a bit worried when he went into the middle late, but he was amazing.

You're nowhere near as wrong as another poster that's shitcanned him relentlessly almost from his 1st game...

Funny to say but opposition coaches are going to have to put time into him.
I think the way he played tonight freed up Rachelle a bit, glad to see the youngfella took that freedom too, could learn a bit from Keays about work rate required to succeed

The type of player every club would love in their team. Versatile, workhorse, selfless and from what I hear, one of the most popular blokes among the players

27.13 for the year so far. That’s a fantastic return from a “defensive” forward.

Reckon he gets a couple weeks though for that tackle
No way. Momentum took them down - he didn’t pin the arms.
Also Caldwell passed HIA I believe so shouldn’t even get a mention

Think Brown was right on the telecast, rare to see a player improve his kicking as much as he has at times.

I’d apologise but I’ve always been on board the Keays train.
This guy is reminiscent of Rory Sloane wrt absolute gut running effort.
Keep it up. This win is 100% Ben Keays - he literally one handed picket the team up, put them on his back and dragged them over the line
ABSOLUTELY UN ****ING BELIEVABLE EFFORT FROM THIS GUY*
* ok, Fog may have also entered beast mode

Even had a hand in the last goal with his body the essendon player off the ball, win it and got it forward.
I didn't 'like' this because I like what might happen. Just I reckon you're rightReckon he gets a couple weeks though for that tackle
It will take one poor game and everyone will hate him again.
Is he though? He leads up to get the ball, he works back to get the ball, he enters contests to get the ball. The only defensive priority he has is if he doesn’t get the ball he works his but off to win it back.
Will get cited, purely on visual aspect. Like McAdam’s bump, they’ll retrofit ‘potential to cause damage’ because they didn’t like the look.
His level of Footy is matching his hair now.
Both very good.
Right now he is one of the best small forwards in the league.

Be interesting to see how Keays tackle and the bump on Dawson are treated.
Dawson clearly hit high, no free. But in concussion protocol?

I thought that the bloke that hit Dawson was in the motion of soccering the ball. Will be interesting, I didn’t think it was his fault, but AFL don’t like concussions.
He restricts himself to snap shots that he can't be criticized for missing. His drop punt is still ordinary.

His work rate has always been his weapon. He’s like the ever ready bunny. But in the beginning it looked more like if you get in there enough of course you are going to get a few good possessions amongst a lot of hacks, but now I feel his quality to hack ratio is definitely in favour of quality. But he’s in everything!

Has done an amazing job re-inventing himself as a forward since he lost the midfield role last season. Has kicked 40 goals since the bye last year. By comparison Fogarty who has been pretty good as a key forward has 46 in that time.
Every club except Brisbane?
