Plays 65 percent game time every week as well. Basically being set up to fail sadly. And playing him how and where we are playing him is not what a rebuilding club does. It’s really disappointing.Seriously what the fudge are we doing to this kid? 2 Centre bounce attendances for the game and he is left to rot on the half forward flank.
He isn’t a wingman and he isn’t a half forward flanker, if you aren’t going to play him in the middle (his most natural position) then allow him to play that position in the VFL where he can hone his craft. Meanwhile Greenwood gets 17 CBA’s and despite his 25 disposals has absolutely NO IMPACT on the game…
The kid’s confidence would be absolutely shot and that IMO rests purely on our development staff.
Sad thing is he is one of our only reliable kicks as well. The spearing pass (and confidence to do it) along the boundary line is something that none of our main mids (or half back flankers) are actually capable of executing.
His treatment has been poor. If any in our team actually have a legitimate and compelling excuse to sulk it up with the coaching staff it’s him.
