Sad to see Hardie fade again, definitely his biggest weekness last year.

True but don’t forget VFL players tend to get fewer stats. Bigger bench
They aren’t meaningless. They can be misleading, but they aren’t devoid of meaning.
Agree with the point.
3rd* season also. Was drafted in '21

I get the feeling from him that his game will translate to AFL level better than VFL
This is based also off nothing more than gut feel
It's bit hard where he played on ball the 1st half but the start of the 2nd half he wasn't in there no where near as much.. must be something to so with coaching and playing other players in the midfield
Correcto 3rd season for Knevitt (my bad).
I gotta say… that makes a big difference.
He has something about him… just want him to take a game by the scruff, but I don’t know if has much killer instinct.
I expect him to be on the list for a while though, so he will be given time to get the most out of himself.

Very disappointing finish, good to see Hardie building some consistency I hope he keeps it up to get an opportunity at some stage
From the limited footage I saw I liked the look of Humphries

Would be a tough gig given his opponents were getting a bit of an armchair ride out of the ruck.

Sounds increasingly like he won’t make it. Players of his type need to be getting stacks of the ball at this level to translate to AFL.
I think he will be a very good AFL player for the Cats. But not sure he is “the man” as it were in terms of dominating. He will use his height and (still to come) strength to be an important part of the long term mid field. Not sure he will ever be an accumulator though. He doesn’t seem like he wants to handball and get back etc. just get the ball once and get it to advantage.
As you say 3rd year makes a difference and even if he spends most of the year in VFL I suspect he will start to go past some midfielders on our list over next 18 months

Definitely good skills. Id like to see more aggression from him though.
Ditto neale although neale was a bit better in that regard today.

... Only at Geelong.
His weapons are his running power and overhead marking. I think he’d be better suited to the bigger grounds at AFL level. But he does need to find more ball at the contest too.

Oh OK, glad to hear it. I switched from watching to listening at half time so I just noticed that I wasn’t hearing his name anymore.
No, they do - because the bench is bigger.
I also theorise that because there is less pressure, players kick more

Irrelevant twaddle.
If you're good enough you dominate VFL level.
Using 'less stats' in VFL to excuse b2b 16 touches is a cop out.
NM v Carl VFL - 9 combined AFL players 20+
BL v COll - 10
Gee v BH - 5. Two from GFC.
Casey v Foot - 7
Sand v Coll - 9
GCS v Rich - 14 (5 over 30)
Foot v GWS - 8
Casey v BH - 11
Gee v Werr (non afl) - 1
Good young AFL listed players are attaining the relatively low bar of 20 touches routinely at other clubs.
We've had 3 in 2 games and 2 of those 3 are Hardie. No more excuses. 16 and 16 is not productive enough for an AFL listed midfielder.

I'm assuming these people talking about Knevitt's stats didn't watch the game and have no idea where he played. Right?
Cause he was in our best 3. Clearly.

What type is he?

Not a KPP, a goalkicker or a defensive player.
I see him running up and down the fat side wing blocking space annoying everyone who disliked early career Blicavs, You don't need to win much of the ball to do that
Who gives a f*** about possession count? Matt Crouch (37) and Laird (29) dominated the possession count last week and had no impact.
Good on Gold Coast & Hawthorn for dominating the VFL, how are their ones going?

If that was all Blicavs could do he wouldn’t have made it this far.
