He'll be right, just needs to apply himself to his fitness regime a bit better, and push his limits more often.nathan000 wrote:that's not a good sign for a young midfielder, i'm sure ross and the coaching crew can enhance his endurance, hell he should talk to robert harvey.

Wow, tough man for the KPP to impress. Taller players take longer even when their bodies look ready. Keep in mind that a players like Hawkins (or McEvoy... or especially a Dawson Simpson) will have gotten used to having a size advantage which dissapears in the AFL/VFL. Young talls are often still growing into their bodies as well - regardless of how they look.nathan000 wrote:alot depends on the type of player you are talking about. like you said armitage is still a bit skinny and doesn't look quiet ready for afl footy just yet, so you need to give him a couple more years to develop, same will probably go for players like mcevoy etc. where as if you look at a player like tom hawkins from geelong, he is a big boy, and has the frame for afl football already, if he doesn't show much next year, i wouldn't hold onto him for much longer if i were the geelong board.
Whether or not Hawkins can crack the team in '08 Geelong would be insane to let him go. He will crack the team within the next 2 seasons, and he will be an excellent players.
