BTW, there's no VFL game this week to prove himself if not selected.
Im not sure your background or even if you possess some empathic powers but Im after an opinion
I have been FIRMLY in the camp that he must play AND that he should be afforded a string of games to get used to AFL level. That game selection should've been the Carlton game but as a few would point out im just a keyboard nobody warrior. I would fully understand him playing a "straight-bat" regarding selection as more than likely he has been disappointed at not being selected before.
SO the question is - what did you read of his mindset ? I get that he has constantly battled re-injury but it occurred to me - what if he is coasting a bit - not on the training track or on game day but rather not getting in the coaches' faces asking/demanding them a shot... call it the Petracca syndrome
Sometimes players settle for a level and after what ? 5 years of good money playing in the seconds he might be content.
