This kid looks a real power player… Stringer Petrrica type at the lower level…. like to see what he does when that left side if covered

Yep, I remember Jordan Murdoch had a raking left foot, but had no kicking ability whatsoever on his non preferred side.

I used to say this about Murdoch. He always received the ball way too close to congestion and it cramped him.
Isaac Smith was the opposite.
Left footers have to maintain width from the contest.
Good observation.
I just wish the learnt use the other foot from a young age. It only makes my admiration for the likes of Humpfires higher.
Which doesn't bother me, not to many of our players regularly use their off foot, it is main Z.Guthrie and Bruhn. I'm not counting Humphries
Pair him up with Lawson at training
Agree Tony Barber - he also used to run too far with the footy and get into trouble , forcing a rushed disposal.
Used to annoy the crap out of me.

Whether you're left or right foot should be irrelevant to how inside you play.
It effects how you'd like to receive the ball, they be circumstances were your body would protect the ball as a right footer but not as a left footer and you'd be more vulnerable to receive a tackle as you take longer to straighten up.
Seems like a selfless player. All the commentary is about how hard he works up and down the ground, getting back to help in defence. My concern is his disposal numbers are really low, maybe he needs to find a balance and be a bit ‘front running’ at times. Anyway, very early days.
Agree- I was just pointing out that Murdoch would be in the clear and run himself into trouble , he would have ample time to dispose of the footy effectively but would run himself into pressure and invariably fluff the disposal.

If only the VFL was still the Bankers. Banker the Banker.
Even better get him some underhanded sponsorship at a bank and he can be Banker the Banker Banking
I think Keights having to play deep forward at time through jack of a real power forward at the Jets makes the numbers low.
His younger brother and my sons side made the grand final and they way he helped out and got around the kids was brilliant.
My son got tasked with playing at full back on a kid much much bigger than him that had kicked a stack of goals during the year and with Keightons help in the 2 finals we played against them my son kept him to 3 goals in total.
Not sure he could have done that without Keighton.
I know I am biased but he is a ripping kid who you guys will absolutely love in no time
He is the “Vibes King”
Far out, I hope you're proved right, I do like the look of him, strong at the ball with skills.
