If he can be half as good as Robbie Gray he will be a steal.

He's a good player. I don't think he's much of a goal scorer but he provides much more around the ground. If he kicks 20-25 goals for the year it will be a tick
He has good pace and footy smarts, and can actually accumulate the football

He'll be a decent upgrade on McEntee.
Gets 3 times as many kicks.
4 times as many score assists.
4 to 5 times as many pressure acts.
Runs deep both ways to help the mids.
Just needs to average a goal and a half per game and he's a lock each week.

Can't fault his workery hardery longery. Covers a shittonne of ground.
It requires no behind the goals footage to notice that either

But does he provide little blocks?
Daddy mac'll make ya...jump jump.But does he provide little blocks?
I thought Richards and Moraes provided a lot of hard running we're not use to in the forward half last week.
Both seem to want the hard ball as well.
They will help a lot of our outside players who refuse to get their knees dirty.

Defensive running stood out, very unlike Port.

Not much chatter about this player but he hasn't impressed me much at all. I though he was meant to be a quick small forward who can kick goals?
I think he's been great as a half forward link up forward. He was never really a big goal kicker at Collingwood. I can see him being a good player for us

Username really does checkout.
I think he’s been a really good acquisition, covering plenty of ground, skills seem good, getting to good positions.
Think he’s been a really good pickup for us.

He's literally replaced 3 players that played a similar role most of last year, including finals...and much more effective than those 3 combined.

Yeah, nah. He's been mediocre at best. Yet to really show any value. Lots of fumbles and mistakes, but he's not alone. Early days to judge him as settling into a new club and game style takes time, but the signs have not been great so far. I'm hopeful he will show a heck of a lot more in coming weeks as he starts to adapt.
I think he's been more than fine. lets remember this guy is not like a bonafide star or anything, and he's only played 11 games.
He provides so much more when compared to the Evans/McEntee, and frankly it's not even close.
Lets hope he can start hitting the scoreboard at bit more too
edit: lols i forgot there was another spud in Narkle to compare him to.. well just look at Evans stats and think worse

Have you watched him from behind the goals though?
Harsh on Narkle - was the sub for many of his games and often did a decent job of it. He's also a midfielder being played as a small forward.
Go look at the Joe Berry thread. Mind boggling
True.. Maybe a bit harsh.. but it is what it is, he's gone now anywho
