In the VFL he is one player who they want using the football.
Not so much in the AFL as we’d prefer it in the hands of Sicily, D’Ambrosio, MacKenzie, Amon, Day, Newc, etc. and he would know that.
Often his first decision at the moment is, “should I give it to someone else to kick?” - which he wouldn’t even bother to consider at Box Hill.
Nash was similar for his first few years, but he slowly grew confidence to back himself with ball in hand, and has improved as a result.
Yesterday Finn had 18 touches whilst mainly running with Daicos, who had 26. Not a great negating job but Finn was involved in some handy offensive plays, and he also had his usual 1%ers.
I actually think there’s a spot for him as a defensive running wingman, who works back to be our 7th defender and helps pressure inside D50. Whilst not quick, he has no issue with spreading on turnover as he has the tank.
I recall a hard working limited player named Brad Sewell who didn’t become a regular until he was 22 years old, and frankly hand balled to his (superior by foot) team mates a lot more than he kicked for his entire 200 games.
He went okay in the end.![]()
Nick got off the chain a bit when we stopped the tag in the second half. Not sure what his stats were like before half time but didn't think he had much impact.
