For me or for lob?
Honestly, I cannot recall ever seeing a single thing that had made me believe he had what it takes to make it at afl level.
There was one play from his 1st year when someone burst out of a pack and hit someone lace out and I couldn't tell if it was lob or Dow (I was at the game, but a long way away) and never found out i don't think....but I've seen the same from Dow since so I assume it was him then. That is about as positive as I can be about lob....someone did something good that MAY have been him....but most likely not.
To explain my issue with him....and it's nothing personal, but...
- he struggles to read the play
- he struggles to read the ball in the air
- he doesn't seem to want to put his body on the line.....ever.
- he doesn't seem to work hard defensively
- he doesn't seem to have as good of a kick as has been suggested.
So....he can run around, but it's without the ball, and not chasing anyone, so it's useless running.....and that's about it.
Someone, tell me, what is it with this kid? What are people seeing? WTF were collingwood seeing? I wouldve taken their 2nd rounder for him easily.
Not LOB, you in general RE our chances
