Considering he has not played for over 12mths and is 19 what do people expect? Or is this just the Doeihie fan club protecting their favourite boy. I think both will have a good year.
Why is it a fan club just because it’s a differing opinion?
I thought Madden was very rusty bordering on poor. I’m looking forward to seeing what he brings this week now he has that ‘first game’ out of his system
Kicking game was very good. Threw one bad pass.
Showed he can lead a team around the park.
I was happy with his efforts
Mate I totally respect your opinion as different to mine but he threw many poor passes. You are probably highlighting the forward pass in the third quarter but I watched him throw many that did nothing for his outside many apart from put them off balance. Also did not think he led the team around. But I’m really looking forward to watching him again because he hasn’t played a game for a long time
Watching live I thought he was rusty as hell but watching the replay i though he offered good structure.
Definitely not saying he was perfect but our best half is Luke Brooks. He doesn't have that much to improve to reach that level.
Different kind you f player. The Luke Keary comparison is very accurate
Ok so let’s say he led the team around well. That makes Sunday very interesting. Brooks is saying it’s his job to lead the team around- from both sides of the ruck as he sees fit. That means madden should be playing a heads up, running game from 5/8. Looking forward to see how it plays out.
Note: please don’t reply with a derogatory Brooks comment - I get it ?
All good.
Yeah this week is a different role. One I think may suit Madden and where he is in his development and recent footy
