I might make a dick of myself here but could people stop saying "put him as a rookie" as a way of trialling every player known to man - I thought that rookie had to be less than a certain age and played less than a certain number of games blah blah.....

As long as they are under 23 before the start of the season.

its a shame really i remember him playing in the WAFL and he really looked the goods he was tall had a good motor fairly fast and quiet nimble obviously the bloke never really gave it his all he kinda reminds me of brooks had heaps of the so called potential but never showed an ounce of it

Not every player that doesn't make it, didn't give it his all.

Don't underrate his efforts when you have absolutely no idea of how much he really put in. Its a real slap in the face for the bloke when supporters take this extreme simplistic approach and blame his failed career on not trying enough.

sure ill admit but the kid had big wraps somthing went wrong attitude ? injury? ??? whatever he looked the goods b4 the daft and looks shabby now

[Spinner]

Yeh, obviously did have big wraps considering pick number 6. I even remember him being interviewed during draft camp. I read he was drafted in 2003 and couldn't believe it......I would have swored it was later than that, but alas 4 years.....

Personally I thought the kid could play. Yet Essendon's response has been overwhelmingly critical of the boy.

Enlighten me, how does a 199cm player fit anywhere other than Ruck? Cos they are saying that he's only a good HHF/Wingman......

Probably dominated the little leagues cos of his size yet never excelled in the most likely position of ruck. Never going to be more damaging that a faster little man in the above positions.

If he wasnt drafted as a ruckman, what was he drafted as? Surely recruiters have got to be smarter than that.

is he just a 2 year younger version of Barry brooks ?

different sort of player.

has played key back at essendon, pehaps he would be more suited to a key forward role (just couldnt get an oppurtunity at essendon with lucas and lloyd)

before he was drafted he was considered the next Warren Trendrea (before his injury)

we wont get him unless fremantle pass on him, which is very unlikely - however if he is still available come our pick in the psd then he would have to be considered
