If he tried to have a guaranteed number of games per season added to his contract, I would like to think the GFC would have told him to enjoy playing for the Roos next season. Its not the Geelong way to promise anyone, much less a kid who has only played a handful of games, a minimum number of games.
Again I'm a realist, and to them this is business not emotion.
It's not to suggest they don't see him as being the talent they want, I'm sure they accept that, and his management would have pushed.
I'm also not suggesting that his management would have done this, but what I AM saying is that they would want to pump his tyres up like no tomorrow to ensure they don't have to admit making a mistake in trading for him.
It will more likely be a case of selection rewarding form/talent, but I'd be extremely surprised if he doesn't play more senior games than VFL in 2013.
