no you blokes are right... but I too often see kids with the potential of these settle for the home club hero stuff or even worse see the $$ and go out to the minor leagues and never reach that full potential... they come from families and I have no doubt that this wont be an issue
Had a few last night pace2burn, see you have s**t canned a few underage players on here and on the GV site around midnight!
On Jordan, he did all the pre-season with the Bushies and got cut at the last stage, so I think u are wrong about him not pursuing playing at a higher level.
How there is 40+ U/18's running around in the Bushrangers area better than him I find hard to believe, but hey the selectors are better placed than me to make that call.
He has played every game in a Major League this year as well as representing the league at Senior level, so I think for a 17 year old he is progressing nicely, if he has ambitions of playing at a higher level then he should be looking at VFL in the next couple of years not the all high and mighty GV.
4 or 5 years ago a bloke by the name of Tyson Sidebottom was getting the same s**t thrown at him, and he was playing Minor league footy. He would have been in his 20's before he had a crack at GV, don't think he has fitted in too bad at that lofty standard!
