Surprised that, as far as I can see, no-one picked up Waylen Manson.

Does anyone have any thoughts on that?

I am not surprised at all, he is clearly not in the right headspace

and in AFL you can't just have talent, but also motivation and determination

Here's some of what really put me off, and I think recruiters also

"I love playing footy. Sometimes I can't be bothered playing and training. Sometimes I want to quit.

The draft camp "rattled" him, according to Claudius. The environment was foreign and in some ways, intimidating.

"As a character, he is quite funny, but put him in front of non-indigenous people, and it's a complete shutdown almost,"

"If he was to go to a Melbourne club and relocate next year, immediately, as most draftees do, I would go as far as saying he wouldn't make it," he said.

"He wouldn't get through one year."

These quotes come from his current coach

Want. Will probably be gone by our first RD pick though.
