    I like him too but there was no denying he was one paced and couldn't tackle.

    Still I hope he does well he seems a good guy.

      I remember sitting in the bar at Ballarat post match and he was the sub that day or emergency (Lions game last year).

      The amount of work he put in on the oval afterwards was incredible, and he seemed like the ultimate pro was timing everything was talking to the trainer.

      So many of our guys butcher it, feels weird to let go a guy who can dispose of it for nothing of note.

        He left, we offered a contract from memory
        More of an In Bruges guy?

          Not to take away from the fact that I largely agree with you (except for his weaknesses) but isn't that a requirement of every sub that doesn't play?

            Yes but I saw that one xD

            Actually I remember now he was running with Cordy and he just appeared way more committed. It's hard to quantify.
            Checking his watch each interval, talking to the trainer it wasn't just doing it because he had to. It was doing to to get better.

              So did Callan Ward. Just kidding but sometimes I wonder about these offers.

                  Bit of a weird game.

                  Richmond looked good early, then Carlton looked too strong in the midfield. Richmond kicked away again in the third before Carlton's midfield dominance then really took its toll.

                  Richmond probably look like being a plucky side in the 6th-10th range. Their midfield looks pretty average.

                  Carlton look like they have improved. They always tend to give us headaches so next week won't be easy.

                    Our first month is very tricky.
