Polar opposite to last week. Final 10 mins a bewildering 30 points.We played the final 60 minutes without scoring a point.
Our most improved player this year across all facets. Is one of the few we have that can conjure something out of nothing. His stats say he can tackle with an 84% affective rating. Betting it was no more than 60% last season. He is far better at returning the ball, no longer rag dolled because he drops to his knees when collared. Has also been superb most times under hi pressure bombs, a skill he was miserable at 12 months ago. Not sure you have watched him closely but he has a a terrific footy brain, has vision which you cant teach. One instance that sticks in my mind was against the Storm when he split the line and when faced with Pappy as last line of defense he pulled off a quick thinking piece of deception by faking to kick then in a flash swerved infield and burnt the fullback with sheer pace. He is still a work in progress with his defensive positioning and avoiding overplaying his hand. I expect that will improve with the more games he plays..Sloan - has nospam29 throws erratic passes, often out of position and can't tackle. No footy brain.
