he's definately one of the dreamteam smokeys. |
His best position is in the midfield - didn't spend much time in defence in 06 (either midfield or forward). If I was to compare his playing style to a current player, Lenny Hayes fits the bill - smooth mover, good allround skills, proficient playing inside or outside, without any real X-factor. That said, though, I'm downgrading my initial expectations of him - unfortunately, it doesn't sound like he's coming along as well as expected - and if it continues like that could well be even more of a bargain next year.
He had a very good 2006 final series. Like you mentioned he got 30 pos (106/121 pts) vs. the Dogs in the 2006 SF (3 marks though, not 10) and 22 pos (87 /104 pts) in the PF vs. Adelaide.
