Really excited for this guy.
You can see who thinks they belong or not, some take that 4-5 years or 70-100 games in the system to believe they're AFL standard.
Others believe early on. Martin, Judd, Ablett. You could tell Noah believed he belonged once given the chance.
What I like in his 8 games he 'played', he had one game with 7 shots, three games with 5 shots, a 4, and a 3. Six of his 8 games he had at least 3 shots or more.
His 19 goals in 8 games, is equivalent to 57 in 24 games (with a couple of finals thrown in).
Only four guys kicked more than that this year - Hawkins, Cameron, Curnow, Lynch.
They're all big, tall marking forwards, not 183cm flankers like Noah, Really good signs that for the future.
And with Taranto, Hopper, Martin, Bolton, D Rioli, Baker all capable off getting the ball to our forwards quickly, we could well have three, maybe Shai can make it four players with 50+ goals next year!!
That would be freaking amazing to get three to 50, let alone four!!
