Check out his numbers in that three-week block of wins.

Turned 22 in August that year, and averaged a tick under 20 & 1 for the season.

Bit annoying how he did that Salopek/Hartlett-type thing of looking like a superstar midfielder before being shuffled back as a typecast flanker.
Westhoffs start to 2013 on the wing is the biggest 'what if'. No idea what he was doing for the rest of his career.

Even before the wins, had a block of games averaging 15/2 on the forward flank, good numbers for that.

Then for some reason the following years, hey! Checkout those backlines! They're calling for ya!

I wasn't. By that point the pressure was off because we were so far behind. That's when our players really thrive. It's why we play our best footy when we're well behind but then stop dead when getting back in front becomes realistic. We are a club with a deeply ingrained loser culture of choking under pressure and expectation.

And none of this is helped by our good bloke recruiting strategy. Who in our team has any mongrel? Dixon does. Maybe SPP. When was the last time any of our players got in trouble off field? They're all nice guys. Which is great off field but on field it translates to being an apologetic bunch of soft losers who don't perform when the going gets tough.

We need nice guys like Tim Ginever.
