    He’s an odd one actually as he gets older. His draft highlights reel was outstanding pace and kicking - both seemed to drop since he joined.

    The kicking has been good this year but whilst being fast he has dropped a meter or two in the last few years. Don’t know if it’s bulk or something else but we are such a slow team right now we need more speed

    Bottom line - he was awesome his first year and has been miles off that form since
    The dam wall has busted!

      He's finally playing in a position that suits his skill set. He was tried at HF & wing continuously over the past 2-3 years and he never looked comfortable, but whenever he played across HB he looked at ease.

      Really encouraging performance against Essendon with his ball use and running to position a feature... something to definitely build on.

        He’s a really good defender - who knew?

        His closing speed is elite as is his spoiling technique, and he’s deceptively strong one on one. He’s showing signs of improving in the air too.

        We might not have to search all that far and wide for a Duryea replacement after all.
