Kodi is seriously impressing me, I've had doubts about him and Milf in the halves this year and next but he just keeps getting better. Gillo looks like a different player running off his short balls compared to Hunts. Looks to have a great attitude and is ice cool. I like that he looks to be playing a simple game, focusing on the couple of things he does really well at this stage - using his speed to get on the outside and create space for his outside men short and long, then supporting well. Not too complicated and doesn't over think like Hunt.
Milf's playmaking game is really developing nicely and he's coming into his own with the added responsibility. He's nowhere near the finished product yet, and plenty of the criticism he's received around those aspects of his games has been warranted. But all year he's been getting himself and the team into a better position to create something, and more and more often he's taking the right decision. The scary thing is he's nowhere near as good as he can, and will be. And when he's making the right call, it's not just in one aspect, he can produce it all, long balls, short balls, grubbers, chips - oh and I suppose he can also run okay... Sure he's still getting it wrong plenty, but wow, if you weren't expecting miracles you can't help but be impressed by his progress this season. Keep feeding the man cheeseburgers, it's working.
Roberts is starting to become one of my favourite players and I'm really impressed with his attitude on field, and by all reports it appears to be improving off of it. Particularly his defence, the efforts he's making from marker and in cover are sensational; his speed's not only lethal in attack. He certainly does seem like he's more part of the team now. Wayne gets most of the wraps for the turnaround, but I reckon our club captain deserves a lot of the credit as well.
