if he used the ball better & chose the first option more i could see him developing into a tom libratore type inside midfielder

 

[DERO]

There is not shame in becoming the next Ben Howlett.

Hit the nail on the head.

Also, needs more games at AFL level. I have been harsh on him but he might just need to have a string of games to get the pace of the game compared to VFL.

Has the tenacity, good mark for his size and hates to lose a contest.

 

[FlyingV]

Wouldn't mind him becoming a Heath Hocking type

Yeah, really like that actually

 

[Keystone agony]

Wouldnt be against a run with OR on Rowell

 

[Agronomus]

Just couldn’t build the midfield to make it work (plus some drugs and stuff might’ve got in the way)

Drugs are bad

That included a Father Son Brownlow medallist

Yep, but he doesn’t

 

[jannissary]

Yep, but he doesn’t

wow, i didn't know that, you're telling me now that ben hobbs doesn't take the first option...

yes i am aware, i've been critical of him in the past for always trying to do too much with it, but it's something he could hopefully learn how to do.

Matt “the Van” Kennedy

Matt “the Van” Kennedy

Good in traffic but extremely hard to get started.

Gets handed back full of trash and no fuel?
