What some of the Essendon fans had to say:
Has become a valuable asset to the team. His run and ability to use the ball will only be enhanced with a solid pre-season. (Michael Rowe)
Great effort for a former rookie list player who could be future All-Australian if he can continue on from here. (Stuart Nixon)
Has real potential to be star with his genuine speed, marking and disposal ability. (Robert Murray)
Under pressure in a backline that was regularly bombarded. Backs himself, reads the play well and takes them on by going for a dash downfield. (Kevin Allen)
All class and commitment. A true muscle car with the ability to punch through enemy lines. (Barney Sneddon)
An excitement machine that keeps getting better. (Jeff Hammond)
A natural who can break open a game on his day. (Casey Scholten)
