Where is Josiah Kyle playing

Post: # 1959694Post Tdog »

Hi.
Is there a reason Kyle is not playing for Sandy lately? I cant see him on the injured list and I cant find any info on where players who are not selected for VFL seniors play. Thanks

Highmore and Adams were also missing. Adams has been for a while.

I think you might find that Josiah found the experience of being an AFL footballer a little too difficult

Thanks for the update Tony. It doesn’t surprise me that young men struggle with life in the AFL system. I hope he’s doing ok for himself.
When you look at players like Tom Boyd and what Bailey Smith is going through now it doesn’t surprise me that some players will find the life of an AFL player isn’t for them. Good luck to him.

Why no communication about it?

Is it the same for Adams??

He looked to be all at sea every time I have seen him at training or at Sandy.

How are we selecting guys who are so far off AFL ready?

In regard to Kyle, he's a long term rookie selection based on athletic ability.
Plenty of athletes get a chance with little or no understanding of the sport and some make it, some don't.
My son was offered an opportunity as a category B rookie at the Suns as a 17 year old and he hadn't played AFL at any level since he was 12.
Pretty common in my opinion.

Kyle is the opposite

Has footy talent- like many indigenous boys

But it seems can’t handle the demands of professional football

Alice ?
He's still treading the boards.


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Wow thats a shame I thought he had a decent future. Hopefully the club can support him to find something he wants to do going forward?

Of course it’s the business of the members about list changes.

Why he quit probably isn’t, but the fact he’s left is absolutely the business of the members.

Poor communication

And what is happening with Adams?

Who knows

Again, poor communication

Hasn’t played for a month - not on an injury list?

If they are managing him, no dramas

But communicate it

Yeah BM I lived in northern W.A for 10 years & was involved in junior footy & some of indigenous kids that I had the privilege to see had skills that would blow your mind just so naturally talented but due to family environment & circumstance they just fall by the way side such a shame

Tony used the word “found” in a past tense so fair assumption by BM.

Why?

So we know wtf is going on with him

We have zero idea about

1- Adams
2- Kyle
3- Hannebery
4- NWM

We used to get an injury update from Wally every week previously

Now

I don’t pick the team

I support the club - I would like to know about it’s players

Too much to ask?

Not vital

Appropriate

Communication with members is pretty important imo

Good clubs do it well
