So he goes from playing in the VFL, as the understudy to the AA ruckman for a team that made the last two PFs to playing in the NEAFL as the backup for Nicholls for a team that finished 3rd last? Seems like going backwards to me but power to him. I guess he thinks Nicholls is s**t and he will get a call up.
He's got more chance of getting past Nicholls than Goldstein. That we made the PF is irrelevant. He just wants to play AFL for someone and he rightfully believes he has more chance there. Personally I think he's a dinosaur who's spent 8 years on AFL lists for 4 games for a reason. But good on him for persisting.
