He’s a match winner. Don’t get the hate.
It is because he has no defensive game. Purely a forward, front runner. Struggles to tackle or apply any kind of defensive pressure. Has so much to learn still if he is to become a great AFL player. Talent alone won't make him that. He clearly has the talent, but he really needs to go to school now, swallow his ego a bit, and start trying to learn from our coaches and leaders how to apply a lot more pressure in his field game. If he had Sam Berry or Rory Sloane or Laird's ability to tackle hard and apply pressure on the opposition ball carrier to match his forward craft, he could become a superstar. Feels like VB needs to do more work with him.
