In simple terms - He's doing OK for a ruckman who has just turned 21.
Would like to see him play this year out now. It won't hurt.
Yes you are. He's the only tall we drafted in the top 40 b/w 2016-2018. Ruckmen take years to come on.
Odds of finding a midfielder at pick 30 who'll come in and immediately provide genuine midfield support for Cripps are slim to none.
Be interesting where TDK is at, at 30 games as per currently Tim English who Luke Darcy gets a woodie over.
Same reason why I don't like him as a full time ruck: his timing for that sucks. You're mostly seeing it happen when he springs for the ball.In your opinion, why's TDK dropping the marks? Seems to always get his hands onto the ball, but then pops out.
Must've happened at least 4-5 times.

Nic Naitanui pick 2You don’t need to find them in the top 40 of the draft - Ladhams, O’Brien, Marshall all rookie draft selections
There's a lot of factors there. Visual acuity, spatial processing, performance anxiety, and abstraction of what's being taught as a concept and putting it into practice.That makes for an interesting topic in that; Why can't a player be trained to get their timing right?
Since day one De Konings timing has been out. Is it not possible to re-wire the brain to better gauge the bounce and what happens thereafter?
De Konings marking isn't such a problem. Have sene him take some absolute beauties in the VFL

Nic Naitanui pick 2
Grundy pick 18
