1%ers like spoils, smothers, sledging, and being an idiot when on the mark to put them off

Very little motivation to do any work outside of training and games (especially weights, ain't nobody got time for that)
Kicks usually fall just short of intended target, something I'll never get out of (i.e. if I need to kick 25m I'll kick 20m, if I need to kick 40 I'll kick 35, need to kick 55 I'll kick 50, etc)

I was an early developer, wouldn't expect myself to grow much more from where I am now. I have however been part of the Western Jets program previously, but I'm not expecting too much for myself in the future, there are a hell of a lot more talented blokes than myself.

Haha I understand where you are coming from but I simply don't have the talent required to reach that elite level. If I had that mindset and work ethic that some players have it might be a possibility but I unfortunately don't have that and I often rely on natural talent when I play, which I probably need to change pretty quickly.
 
you might as well give a crack and apply yourself then you never know what can happen...you can still make decent coin at a high standard of local level footy and you might be a late bloomer
