Because he plays well in the VFL and struggles to impact in the AFL.
Has no point of difference to offset his tiny stature. Too slow to play as a forward. Too slight to play as a mid. Kick has no penetration. Many reasons!
I am asking you - when have we played him as a midfielder in the AFL?
When he goes back to the VFL, he performs well around the contests, when played in that position. Goes missing for long periods when played forward, whether at AFL or VFL level.
And even then, he has played one more game than Kayne Turner, is only a year older, and to be quite honest, has considerably better form than KT even playing as a small forward, far from his natural position.
As a club, I'm not sure why we chased a guy who wanted more midfield time only to shift him to the forward pocket.
