regardless, your assumption that he suffered no season de-railing injuries is incorrect as his 12 games in 2012 & 13 games in 2013 due to those injuries indicate.
Either way, those in the know have made the right calls and we move on to better things in the coming years.
1. It isn't an assumption; it's a fact.
2. What I actually wrote was career derailing. I'm talking Matthew Egan, Bowen Lockwood, Jason Snell, Luke Molan, Marcus Drum...guys having to give it away in their early-mid 20s because they literally can not get on the park (and most of whom actually did play senior footy). Not Joel Hamling.
3. I see no evidence that he was ever close to a senior game either before or after any of his injuries, even after he played every game in the VFL this season.
