4 touches and 2 tackles in 5 mins.
I see him as a centre square mid. Played there for a bit in an earlier game and I saw something there as well. I'd be training him there over pre season and see what we have got
It was only five minutes but played like an in and under first rover. Won ball & clearance
He's strong in a contest. He and Baker won us the game out of the middle against GWS against bigger bodies. I said we need to play him mid more. Dimma never played him there again till now.
unfortunately this bloke is going to be our scapegoat but he's not best 22 when we only have 5-6 injuries. more a guy that should play 6-8 games during the season to give others rest
reckon he does alright alot of the time, but momentum killing moments add up each game, thought his errors were at crucial times and impacted the scoreboard
Aarts is a classic Dimma blue-collar battler; tries his heart out from go to whoa.
Unfortunately, whether its decision-making or hitting the target, he has repeatedly shown himself incapable of execution in the moment.
Some players can lift the collective through individual acts (eg Stack), and the opposite is also true.
His ceiling is limited and the NexGen kids like RCD and Dow should be prioritised this year to establish once and for all whether they have the scope to be best 22, before Sonsie and the other school of 2021 draftees start overtaking them.

He's very limited. Contracted for this year and next too. I don't want him in the 22. But he ain't the reason we're losing games.
He’s holding back a kid that should be getting games to aid their development
Who gave him a contract till end of 2023? himself
That's astounding if we have given Aarts that contract I didn't know we had.
Simply can not play another senior game , its a joke he played as many as he did last year and denied development to young players...
If Dimma and co can't see this now i give up...

If he's the ongoing sub I don't really have a problem with it. Clearly isn't taking us forward and I'd rather our kids play full games in the 2's than playing for 1 or 2 quarters in the 1's. If they are good enough, they will get into the full side and play the full 4 quarters.
