Those statements have some truth, but I interpret them differently:
- never gets out marked –
Can't mark
- gets it to ground –
Can't mark
- takes a tall defender –
So would another tall forward
- accurate in front of goal –
Anyone is accurate 20 out, straight in front (would still like to see stats on that @Connoisseur )
- ruck work isn't terrible –
Debatable
- gets free kicks coz defenders panic coz his height –
Can't mark
- getting it to ground is the best part coz our small forwards are our best asset –
Can't mark
I don't like bagging players (maybe I do) but have seen no real improvement in his game.
