In those situations where they are weighing up whether to give a rookie another year, its usually off field/ training standards etc that can seal someone’s fate. He seems like a different character and maybe they weren’t confident he can get the best out of himself in an afl environment.
 
The suggestion is that he makes sub-optimal choices and that this may have contributed to the brevity of his career.
Right....... did I need a sarcasm tongue at the end of mine?

I was joking about the "it's always about football" mentality. 🤷‍♂️

Interesting.... on the surface this looks like wild and speculative list management to draft someone from SANFL reserves and delist 1 year later without playing a game....doesn’t reek of long term strategy or planning but I could be wrong...

Drafted pre-COVID, no VFL, we now have smaller lists in 2021....unfortunate timing.
