SNAITHY
Team Captain
FFS this kid is 19 years old. He is going to make mistakes, hell he might even play a poor game again this week, and maybe the week after. He is NOT a mature, hard bodied recruit of 28 that has come to the club with 150 games of experience under his belt. He is a 19 year old kid, still growing, still learning, asked to do a very difficult job against the best forwards in the comp. What do you people want, have him dumped? What the hell is he going to learn running around in the VFL? The only way to develop him is to play him against the best, and if he is still making poor decisions and stupid mistakes at 50 games, then cut him, but ffs, give him a chance.
He has gold written all over him, his potential is enormous, and I for one am excited about him and Stratton playing together for the next ten years. He reminds me so much of Harry Taylor, a tall, gangly kid who made lots of mistakes when he first came on the scene, now one of the first picked in the best team of the last 4 years.
This kid has star written all over him. I think some of us expect too much.
