Brothers death destroyed him and he's never recovered. Hope he just gets his head right, football isn't anywhere near a priority for him.

Try a junk 4th rounder.
Harley Bennell went for similar, had far more runs on the board.
Ahern went for a pick 69.
Jack Watts went for what? pick 31? He had far more runs on the board.
I think something around 40-60 is his value.

He's contracted and prodigiously talented.

Yep, Dodo was probably asking a kings ransom.
He's worth effectively nothing now. Needs to get in the right head space before another club considers taking him imo.
Even through his junior career and evidently in his AFL career, he's shown a real aversion to hard work and particularly running.

Well that's easy, he's more talented than both.
If he hasn't adopted the life of a footballer, that's another issue - but your inference they recruited badly is wrong.

Hard to see him on the Bombers list at the end of 2019.
Not the 1st and won’t be the last to waste talent.

Agreed on both counts, you vicious troll you.
Based on what?
I would have thought that's a fundamental factor when recruiting a footballer.

That's because you know absolutely nothing about him.

Oh please tell us what the price on his head was.
Neither South Australian club wants him because its highly likely he won't make it.

Yeah shouldn't have picked a highly rated junior. Should've seen his brothers death would cripple his mental state. Silly Essendon.
lol
He has enough talent that they would want him, just obviously not for what dodo was asking.

Precisely this - and Dodoro was right to hold him to his contract.
How is that working?

as much as i enjoyed taking the piss out of him earlier in the thread i hope he gets his head together, gets a free transfer to an sa based club and makes a career ala jay schultz.

He's a kid that needs some time away - I'd say its working bloody sensationally.

Marginally better than Morabito worked out.
What a stupid application of hindsight.
