He's never been the quickest, its a limitation on his game no doubt. But we know he's carried a back complaint pretty much all year and may well have been another who had the shits this week for all we know.
100%, like i said im pretty sure everyone of them would make it onto other AFL club lists. They're all good solid footballers, but should be the 5th, 6th picked types and there to help with our transition to the other names we've mentioned. Its not their fault our cupboard is bare atm.

But the point is valid about the round 2 picks that have to be traded. We're a small Vic based club not a SA or WA club where those picks would carry far more weight in luring players back to their home state. But North are one of...
