    The feedback I received on him in his draft year was, Project pick, great athlete in space but a bit timid. I'm calling it now he looks like Cripps with his size, contested ball winning ability and his burst speed out of contest. Gets better every week and still only a 20 gamer.

      He had an impressive attitude and focus given his age.

        They got the timid bit very wrong.

          This kid is something special , you could see it , his maturity at such a young age is sadly what is missing from a player who could have been a superstar .

              Here's a comparison between JF and the Bont, at the same age:

              Beyond that, I'm not going to provide any context because links are self-explanatory, and discussion boards are just places where we drop links and move on without adding anything else to the conversation.
              TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.

                A special player. Can't believe how composed, mature and skilled he is already and is only 19! Nineteen! And he will be for the whole season too. What a player to find at pick 45

                  A highlights reel at the end of the year, providing it keeps going well to Redgum's I Was Only Nineteen, would be awesome. I appreciate I've put the moz on him.....but........

                    Will be in the leadership group as early as next year. His demanding on the track. I don’t get down to training as much as other but from what I’ve seen is second to Bont with his voice on the track.

                    This impresses me as much as the footy stuff.

                      Thanks for that. To add some context 'Hmmm.."
