Imagine where we'd be right now if this man still couldn't touch his toes? That was such a huge issue coming into this season that we were all very, very worried about - compounded by the Vardy ACL - but it seems like so long ago now.
The reports at the end of 2013 were that he would have a huge responsibility relating to his own rehabilitation in the off season - plenty of swimming, aerobics work I believe? Looks like he stuck to it and it's worked an absolute treat.
He's kicked 3 or more goals for the last seven games straight - for a total of 11 games this season. On just three occasions this year has he been held to less than 3 goals - 0.3 against Richmond, 2.2 against Brisbane and 1.1 against Adelaide. How's that for consistency?
He's "throwing his opponent away like a rag-doll" week in, week out, clunking his marks, backing himself in for the difficult set shots, and always seems to be the one that pops up to kick an important goal in the last term...
Great stuff, Tom.
