It's good to see the big guy getting some recognition, Sydney's needed a truly forcefull meat-axe of a ruckman for years - he could make an incredibly complementary ruck partnership with Goodes.
In the broadcast coverage, Dermie passed some comment about his two kicks for that goal to the effect that he was displaying a ruckmans lack of imagination.
Watching the replay he actually looks pretty smart as you realise he varies his kick the second time to give the ball more space to get around the player. Good thinking or great reflexes in a tight situation.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.
