Bazza has been a fantastic fit for us.He was getting stiffled at Sydney with their slow, inaccurate and stop and start midfield. Yes we have a mercedes but a midfield which can deliver fast, accurately and efficiently to him, with the fwd tackling pressure now to hurt teams on the scoreboard.Its one of the recruits of the season. Eade has a good knack at picking up mature age recruits. But not only what they deliver on field, but what they can add and improve to players during training. I wonder how much defense skills the guys have picked up from Montgomery.Darcy last year praised Aker for how much the other players are picking up from his kicking.Young fwds Grant,Jones, Roughead and Cordy are going to learn a heap from him and the crumbers ho will know where to position themselves.

Barry's been great.
But our DEFENSE is what has gone up another level this year.
