Had his worst game of the year on Saturday. Given his well documented fitness issues does he run the risk of becoming an SCG/small ground specialist?

Shame if he misses out on September glory because he doesn't have the motor for the MCG.

Wont get September action as a penalty for the 2 games we would have won if he could kick straight.

Needs constant mentoring but this thread is a waste.

A few times when I looked at him the other night he was really struggling to catch his breath.

He should be really fit at this stage of the season. Perhaps his diet is bad.

Why? I'm a big fan but he looked completely out of his depth on Saturday - youngsters are allowed a night off but wouldn't it be a question mark selectors would consider next time they play on one of the bigger grounds?

... he looked completely out of his depth on Saturday - ...

that's not just because the rest of the team played crap is it? Maybe he wasn't sure of what to do to lift the team and get going in the right direction?

[ScottH]

I wouldn't write him off after a couple of poor games.

I wouldn't say he looked out of his depth.

Was it his first game at Subi?

AAMI isn't a small ground and he dominated there a fortnight back.

He'll be OK, playing a tough, almost impossible, position to star week in, week out.

Getting a bit more attention from the opposition as well.

[ScottH]

Was it his first game at Subi?

Quite possibly, But definitely his first as a 1st 18 starter.

[SyCoTiC]

Who was assigned to tag him during the game? Seemed as if the West Coke Eagles had taken note of his abilities and shut him down well.

He also kicked the goal that put us in front against Port. The one he missed against the Aints, in round 1, was on his left, on the run, kicking across his body, 40 metres out, and it just missed. Your being way too harsh.
He's had many more good games than bad ones in his very young career so far...he'll bounce back. BTW the MCG is relatively small ground.

Was it his first game at Subi?

Yes, first game at Subi. A bit rich comparing the length of Subiaco Oval (175.6m) to the MCG (160m).

ANZ Stadium is the same length as MCG but more narrow, AAMI Stadium is 165m and Telstra Dome is 159.5m long and he didn't seem to have any trouble playing on those grounds.

It was his most ordinary performance this year but he'll bounce back against the Saints.
