If he played in Melbourne and was dishing it out to experienced A graders he would be praised. The fact that he's often giving it off to inexperienced kids and that the team overall isn't doing well means that people think he must be having no impact with such immense numbers.
I think its probably fair to expect his numbers to drop a little next season with the players we have coming back, but I think he will look a lot more damaging as a result. I'f he is still getting 40 touches a game next year with rich and redden back someone else won't be pulling their weight.
