And yes Redden did look pretty good on the weekend.Be interesting to see if he can maintain his form throughout the season.
I am looking forward to seeing what Rioli has to offer.

Very polarising figure Darling. Interesting that Anchorman and others think he's delivered so little, over 300 goals by the age of 25, I think it was 58 shark who said Vardy was a better kick than him, really? Are you kidding?
I think he's a very harshly judged player, but that's historically common with highly talented players (who haven't quite delivered)

If Vardy plays a few more years with the Eagles, then we can compare he and a Darling. I stand by my comment of Vardy being a better mark. Very seldom do you see the ball bouncing off his chest or slipping through his fingers as does with Jack.

Jack may not be a top player in A/M's opinion but his size & marking takes a good opposition player therefore giving Kennedy an easier run at the ball. Apart from Pav who retired with a good career there is no one forward at Freo who needs this much attention. It's called TANDEM so either Kennedy or Darling isnt double teamed..
