    When Roosey said that Teddy was a hot little utility that we really needed ... he wasn't wrong eh??
    His game has improved 185.3% (not a confirmed stat).
    Teddy's really found his niche here in Sydney.
    Good onya Teddy ... hope you get a medal this year.

    Thumbs up

    I have happily been proven wrong over the last few months re: Ted (not quite super yet ). I have been very impressed with his reading of the game. He took some telling grabs on Sat. night.
    Keep it up!

    I think it's his match fitness. The dons have been unable to run out a game for a long time now. Their fitness coaching is severely suspect.

    In his early games, he ran out steam in the second half and struggled to chase or have any impact. All down to aerobic fitness. After 22 weeks in the Swans camp he is able to run the whole game out. He's got the energy for the 2nd efforts and 1%ers and is clearly loving his football.

    Great job Ted.

    Just way to dangerous to be writing new players off after just half a season. I reckon you need at least 2 pre seasons and 18 months before you can call a line through someone.

    Need to give players time to adjust to a new game plan and working with their new team mates, especially a defence that has been so settled like ours for so long.

    Still reckon as I have from day one that he will turn into a very handy utility player for us down back or forward when needed. His current form suggests that will be the case.

    I have been more and more impressed with him as the season has progressed. He has taken some very gutsy and telling marks. Keep up the good work.

    Lots of great one-percenters from Ted on Saturday which wasn't a feature of the game in the first half of the season - a smother half way thru Q1 signalled the switch in momentum to the Swans.

    Good to see the Bloods culture rubbing off on another wannabe!

    It's been a bumpy ride for Ted, he showed us some phenomenal overhead marking at the North Sydney game, then when the real stuff started an I for one began to suspect he was preassure sensitive. The nadir was the Port game (when I actually started a Ted thread). Since he's returned to the firsts he has been improving each week, and I'm so glad. To have both him & Chambers fail would have been terrible. So congrats Ted, not super yet, but getting there!
