well i personally can't cause I made a post at the end of 2017 saying he needed to be a better set shot because his whole career has shown him to be an average converter to that point. it's not like his woes last season was abnormal for him. 2017 was the abnormal performance.

2017 is indeed the one year that he was notably better than 50/50, but not impressively, and given his prior history it was pretty hopeful to think he had improved. of course he bounced right back last season. he may have seasons that are noticeably better than 50/50, and seasons where he is too far below 50/50, but on the whole, I see no reason not to think of him as a 50/50 chance, and this hasn't just happened.
I should probably try to find his NEAFL stats to see if they line up

From what I saw in 2016 particulary from memory his ratio would be considerably better at that level. It was the pressure of AFL that seemed to get to him. To be fair though NEAFL is more like park footy compared to the VFL and he was a lot better in 2017 when I saw him at Spotless.
