    My daughter has nicknamed him "thumbly" since GF day, but he is still her fav player.

    His best game in ages today - lots of great work around the ground & covered when Spida had a quiet first half. Good effort!

    Remember he was our only ruckman for most of 2006. I think the workload took its toll by the end.

    He'll be back to form soon enough.
    Last week I thought he should have been playing in the ressies. This week I was eating my words, I had him in my best, and that mark he took in the first....pity he didn't convert it for full points.

    I think Spida is inspiring a greater effort around the ground. However I'm not sure this is a good thing as he is not a very good user of the ball.

    I think you're right on both counts there.

    At least if he does more around the ground he can take some marks or compete in marking contests. Hopefully he'll learn to handball more.

    I thought his disposal last week was very good for a bigman. He linked well through the middle with handball and showed decent skills by foot, regularly hitting players on the chest with short but rapid fire kicks.

    Wasn't as good today, agreed, but he's still probably a bit rusty, notwithstanding last week's performance.

    I think Ugg is saying that Spida is inspiring Jolly to put in a greater effort etc.

    I was alluding more to his decision making than his kicking skills, which are okay. If he can't get a quick handball off to a running player, than I feel he is too slow or not good enough to spot an open man.
