He’s definitely showing that “flashy defender who wants you to be aware that he is a flashy defender”.

Strikeouts are boring- Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.

Yeah, that first one was a bit much.

But they’ll work it out of him if it’s hurting his play.

Confidence

He is being flashy because he is very confident in his fielding skills. That is a huge positive…hes at a big game and hes not worried about fielding the ball, its coming second nature to him.

Good find.

Aside from the spinning and the double clutch throws, looks as good as promised.

Yeah, he definitely looks like he’ll be exciting to watch.

hes spinning and double clutching in warm-ups thats not a real game situation…just shows hes comfortable

I don't like a showoff.

The most impressive thing a player can do, to me, is play great, clean, technically-sound ball while making everything look effortless.

ok well watch him in a game….he does exactly what you said. Doing that in warmups means he is staying loose, and is not nervous….its a good thing, not arrogance

I'll take your word for it for now.

Haven’t had the chance to see any of the AFL games yet.

Loved the last one.

He’d looked slow getting it out of the glove for the first few. And then BAM!

Is he a little duck-footed? or am I imagining things?
