The boy’s got talent. He’s also got real presence and a bit of spirit. Looks like he’s enjoying his footy again, lays out the challenge, relishes the contest and lifts his teammates.
This theory of going in too tall is a crock when your talls are as mobile as Freo’s at the moment. You kick to their advantage, you have a range of Matera, Brayshaw, Walters, Coyler skirting the contest and it all structures up well. You’re now also seeing talls kicking it to the advantage of tall teammates.
Cold,wet winter weather could be a different story. Most of the season is not this, and I reckon Hogan could deal with it anyway.
It’s kind of invigorating.
