He is starting to look more like a footballer. It's going to be an interesting watch to see how much he can improve this year.

. He did seem to pop up in lots of places. He was actually leading in the forward line. Saw him make leads out to the wings!!Loved his spear tackle as well.
People are saying he improved.
Ira fantastic that he ran 15kms but when the ball is in the open he struggles to read the play.
He isn't instinctive he is reactive and seems to be always a couple metres behind.

When you consider his lack of experience, the lack of forward line support, and the defenders that heās therefore attracting from batting way too high up the order, heās been nothing less than phenomenal.
Contest, contest, contest - too inconsistent. Understandable for a new player, but as a tall forward, he has to present.
Yep. On the wing.
We need to let this young butterfly to spread his wings
Tank seems ok. Whatās his inside game like? Seems fairly quick. Is it worth a try?
He looks good when leading to the ball carrier. Good hands and a good kick. Looks lost everywhere else. Has no natural forward skills.
Will wait & see.

Itās a pretty tough gig for a newly promoted train-on player to be tasked with playing the sole key forward. He keeps presenting and is still learning the game. A better option than Kositske as a forward in my opinion (seems a really nice guy but Iād have to give Blair an F for that trade).
,Kept at the contests, created the spillage for our forwards when he didn't mark
One key forward, a bloke who's an ex Rugby League player, still building back from a year out knee reco n played all of four games at AFL level takes on two of the best big defenders in the comp in May n Lever.
Yet we've still got people want to nit pick n whinge over his performance, geez we've got some farking imbeciles out in PRE land at times.

3rd quarter, I think, he was listed as having run more than anyone on the ground.
Noticed that too - but now have a general question (and this is a side issue and not directed specifically at Lefau at all)
Does that measure include every step a player takes while on the ground - or at least during game time?
And for a forward who is waiting for lengthy periods where the ball is down the other end - presumably that could include walking/jogging from the goal square towards the middle? And it could be that he goes back and forth on a number of occasions during a quarter - even though the ball might get cut off and be sent back to the backline.
Just wondering then whether a player might track several hundreds of metres in a quarter even while hardly being in the play much at all. Plus he could do a couple of decent sprints when he's being rotated.
Dunno
Couldnāt understand the criticism a couple of weeks ago. Reckon heās been real good every week since debuting. And I reckon heās gonna get much better too. Big ceiling.
Yeah he aināt gonna be any Jack but he can at least be a level up on a Mihocek type of player and give us something to aim at over the next few years.
Good on him I reckon.

Feel sorry for him.Thrust into being the main target after 4 games.
Wish he was around a few yrs ago when Lynch & Jack were up & about.
Ideal 3rd man.
