    But who really knows!!

    A little bit tough on Pat but probably partially true. I get the feeling the coaches are trying to beat it out of him before they give him a regular game.

      Nah, don't think so. The kid is still evolving, and he does work no doubt about it. His tank was always a bit sus, but that has improved. His decision making was sus, and that has improved. His involvement in the game has improved out of sight. He is less likely to be all about glory goals. But he is not better than any other senior player, i.e, he is not yet in a position to force his way in.

      Also I think Liz is right, he was limping big time at one stage, and was clearly uncomfortable. He is however starting to show persistence, and that means to me that he is evolving as a player. But I doubt you would play him at the MCG if you had better options at hand. And we do.

      Definitely not a Davis type.

        Good to hear, I hope he gets there soon as he has a lot of positive energy and is fun to watch play in a team that can be a little dull occasionally.

          Like Davis? A firing Vespremi is in our best 22.

            So was a firing Davis. If Vesz matches him for talent I'll be delighted.
            He reminds him of the guys, close-set, slow, and never rattled, who were play-makers on the team. (John Updike, seeing Josh Kennedy in a crystal ball)

              A firing Davis was always on his terms. Team was not a major criteria, even if he had the talent. I think you will find that Patty has more team awareness than Davis had.

                If he can combine the talent with the team awareness we'll have another double Brownlow winner on our hands.

                  That is a very BIG call.

                    A touch of hyperbole perhaps, but i really rate Davis' talent.

                      Yeah, god forbid a young player should stick around for 10 seasons, play 168 games, kick 235 goals, play in 3 Grand Finals, win a premiership and represent his country.
                      I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
                      We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                        Yeah, Davis was a gun. Go and get stuffed you peanuts.

                          Nice one P46, my sentiments entirely.
