Ha.. you've described more than half of our teamBecause he played okay in the VFL? In a loss? Laid 10 tackles? Second to the ball? What have you seen thats impressive? The hand ball to a team mate that sells them under significant pressure? Or the shitty one two handball that gets No Meters gained? Or the easy misses at goal? Or his nature to back away from the contest? Or his kicking efficiency? He laced out the opposition pretty well! Which part of his game do you like? He had to change my mind, he has been absolutely useless!

At least when he was dropped he's gone back, got solid numbers, kicked goals and shown defensive intent. Now he is showing reserves grade form consistency he should be in line for a senior recall for a member of the team is is currently out of form or not playing to team/role instruction. It sounds you have a bit of a vendetta against this bloke and come across as rules for some and not for others.
As mentioned, you could've mentioned a major portion of our squad throughout the first 12 weeks (inc. preseason)
