I am an unabashed fan, and have been ever since I first saw him play - on Bus Loop Oval in March last year. He hasn't dominated reserves games to the extent someone like Malceski did when he was an up-and-comer. But he plays with a panache, a pizzazz, an audaciousness that you don't see that often.
I think he gave us one senior glimpse of what he is capable of, in an otherwise wretched 2009. Sadly it was in a game that few have probably kept a tape of because I think it was the second Carlton game, where the team gave up in the final quarter. But if you do have a copy, just watch his 3rd quarter. He didn't get a heap of touches but most of what he did was quick of mind and deadly of foot.
His issue is - and maybe always will be - his stamina. Whether he ever gets fit enough to make the most of his talents has to be a big question mark at the moment - just one of several similarities with Davis.
