Elliot is a good player, even though he flies too often against our key forwards. Fasolo can't be front and centre because he is picking himself off the ground after crashing from great heights. Even Blair isn't great at being where the ball will drop. |
Leon Davis says g'day. |
You know what? This is a common untruth. Leon rarely stayed front and centre. He more often than not would fly in a pack with Rocca and Tarrant and Cloke. Betheras, O'Bree, B.Dick and Krakeuer have been our only genuine front and centre players in the past 15 years. I wanted B.Matera last season. I can only hope Daicos and Kirby fit the bill.

Josh Daicos is better than all of them. He's a natural. |

On a sample size of 1 VFL game, I'll reserve judgement on that but I'm quietly optimistic that you're correct.
