Chris Knights haters can lay off now

[CUTTERMAN]

He really has been playing well since moving up forward, he really gives the crows something up forward with that massive left leg. I think he kicked one from inside the square yesterday.

He seems to be working well up forward. I mean what has he kicked in the last 3 weeks, something like 15 goals

16 goals in last 4 games, 2 against Bris, 5 Carl, 4 Haw, 5 Ess. Coming into some form one would think
Adelaide have found a couple of good small forwards in Porps and Knights who are both good overhead, getting the ball, crumbing off the packs and kicking for goal. Not to mention they are both servicable in the midfield.

How many of those goals have been outside 50m if anyone has stats for that? Seems to be the majority from what i've seen.

I reckon 1 or 2 against the Bombers, about 3 against Hawks and not sure for the Carlton game.

it was in superfooty today. 1 against each of these teams - collingwood,brisbane, carlton and essendon and then 4 against hawthorn. do you think there will be more of a run with role from opposition coaches on him now? if so can he shake it? thoughts?

I cant believe teams (my mob included) havent woke up to the fact he has no right side....

The move up forward has definitely been a winner for the cows!

ha ha yeah i know. stevie wonder has clicked on to the fact that he doesnt have one. it astounds me how some afl players can not kick on there opposite foot. i have been on both sides since about 15 or 16. mind you sometimes better than others

On the couch had some interesting stats that show knights as the second player with the most goals outside 50 this season with 8 goals 1 behind. i have been very skeptical of Knighta purely because of his disposal around the ground costing us on the rebound. But i think he is in a perfect role across HF. His ball winning ability and running capacity were never doubted and with him pushing up to the wing then running towards goals he is hard to match with pace and his long kick.

Hopefully continues his impressive recent form.

the only player that beats him for outside 50 goals is Jonathan Brown.

Being beaten only by JB is no mean feet....

Desitned to a big future in the tri-colours. Knighter is a gun. The way he has performed since returning from injury has been nothing short of sensational.

Love the way Knights plays and has been great for the Crows..
Would like to see him handball a bit more.. but while he's slotting goals - can't complain!!

No we don't want him having to make decisions and taking too long - he should go for goal every time he gets it.

i never thought i would see it. but knighter used his right foot and hit porplyzia lace out without breaking stride over 30 metres. was very impressed.

[RoosterMarty]

That right foot pass was spectacular. Almost the form player of the comp right now.

he is playing some good footy. he still wasnt at his best as he has been for the past month. IMHO i still think he has a little way to go to be up there with the "elite" midfielders, but in saying that he is doing all the right things and people are starting to take notice of him. when he is going though is a player i think any coach would like to have in their team.
