The thing I think he does extremely well is in the pack he can get the ball and make an effective disposal. And isn't that worth currency? At his best his contact with the ball seems to barely a second. I think for that reason he is not the "star" type of player.

I was excited for Harry Cunningham to get his nomination. He has that "star" quality that is entertaining. Well done to both.
Because he can dispose of the ball properly and quickly, he is going to be star player. Joey and Diesel never have the ball in their hands for long, and look how they turned out.
