Still not convinced he's ready for this level. I'm predicting he's dropped next week.
With Dreamtime in 2 weeks I reckon they are hoping to give him a block of a few games , if he is good enough obviously

Don't drop him
As soon as he felt he belonged, his confidence grew and bang he kicked 3 goals.
He won't kick 3 every week but good to watch.
Nothing better then watching a kid play with a smile on his face.

he brings the defensive pressure as well and Dimma values that

This kid is going to special.

Cyril like. Not many possessions. A tackle here, a hand there which have resulted in direct goals.

To me, he is creating fwd pressure like Daniel did in 2017. He really looks like he is adjusting well to the pace of the AFL

You can see the brilliance in him. True composure at his age.

Still young and inexperienced but always where he was needed tonight and has the Rioli vision and skillset. We have been missing a small forward and now we have one in MRJ

Has booked at least the next 2 games.

listened to the game on the ABC - they had me excited every time he went close the ball.

Don't know about others here, but his composure and even his hair gives me flashbacks of his great father.

I think he turned the game at points. A couple of crucial tackles and moments in space resulted in goals. Deserves a solid run based on his last two games. I have a feeling Dimma would prefer this sort of game to him cashing in on a rout like against the Eagles.

I don't think I've seen that level of pressure by anyone, his 2nd and 3rd efforts were amazing, even at the end of the game
