He kicked two fantastic goals on the run from a long way out, must be considered A grade after a stellar start to the year.

Yep. I said before he was getting close.

Never has a bad game. A grader for mine.

Seems to have stepped up with Armo out. Along with Steven, they are now the bedrock of our midfield. WE need our mids kicking goals so was great to see him snag a couple. Takes more reponsibilty with his kicking now - less crabbing backwards and sideways and looks to forward with some penetration. Averaging nearly 29 which is amazing. He's not quick but he really chugs around the ground well, often becomes that run past player that they dish the handball off to. Once you can run for 4 qtrs you really do becomes a genuine AFL player rather than just doing bit parts.

Definitely now elite.
Close to AA.

He is quicker than Dangerfield so he is not slow.

Two instances in the cats game.

1. Seb had the ball, Dangerfield chased him, but Seb easily drew away from him.

2. Dangerfield had the ball , but Seb easily ran him down and tackled him. Free to Seb from memory

As I said, Seb is quicker than Dangerfield. :wink:

Have loved seeing Seb's incredible progress since last year. Fingers crossed he can maintain this type of form. He is becoming a very important player for us.

Obviously in a straight line race Dangerfield would win comfortably but Seb isn't slow and is a smart player in that he runs the angles well, hits the ball at top speed and knows where the space is.

A bit like Armo was in 2015 but Seb is almost certainly better and more consistent than Armo overall.

Same Age stats has

Seb .....v......Armo
av 29 disposals v 20
contested 11 v 8
