When this guy gets even close to the ball you can feel the excitement levels rise.

There are still a few kinks to his game likely because he hasn't adjusted to the pace. Love watching him chase hard to pressure.
Going to be a very good small forward.

Has looked more and more comfortable each game. Works super hard and has excellent field kicking which was on display today. Really hope his ankle is ok.

Was worried that poor miss may affect his confidence but judging from his last quarter goal I don’t suspect it will. I thought he was excellent today.

Another 4 scoring shots today, 7 score involvements plus 16 disposals as a small forward is outstanding.

Once he starts to nail his shots hes going to be a weapon.

Fancy calling for him to be dropped. Been awesome imo. Hope his ankle is ok.
Today was his best game so far. Looked dangerous and pressured well. Should have kicked at least a couple more (especially the one from the goal square). Averaging 3-4 shots at goal in first few games is very encouraging. Hopefully the finish comes soon.

Based on averages, he's on track for 69 scoring shots if he plays all 23 games.
So if he can work that accuracy up to around the 50% mark he could be looking at a 35 goal season.
That's massive for a first year player.
Just hope his ankle is okay and he makes the trip to Adelaide next week.

Has a winners mentality and not scared to mix it. Love it
Loved him standing up to Stewart in Q2 too when Ginnivan should have been awarded another free kick after the goal
Will be a real team energiser when he gets regular score board pressure and gets the crowd involved

Love the Wiz, will be a genuine star I have no doubt. He's the type of player that'll bring people to the footy for years and years to come and looks dangerous anytime he's near the pill. Excellent game today and staggering the amount of chances at goal and ball he's seeing for just a handful of games' experience. Fingers and toes crossed the ankle is ok!
The way he was pounding the turf suggest he knew it was serious...hope I'm wrong, but that was my interpretation.

sadly, might miss 8-10 weeks if he's unlucky. his injury didn't look good

Yeah it looked crook as... whilst he was trying to get some pressure onto it as he hobbled off, it seemed a brave face more than anything. He'll be sorely missed, massive impact already in a short period of time.
Yea was near enough to him when he came off the ground and then into the change rooms. It was not a good look.sadly, might miss 8-10 weeks if he's unlucky. his injury didn't look good
Looked super clean today. He is building nicely.

I really hope it’s not a serious injury…I feel that he’s not too far off kicking a bag. I was sitting near the bench though and it didn’t look great.
Trust our luck, Wiz goes down in the last minute and from memory it was partly due to a non-call for an obvious free right before he was crunched.

Yep. Hardwick was essentially slung on his head whilst not in possession.
