Why is it so bad that he had a solid year of development in the AFL side? What's wrong with admitting that?

He didn't take the competition by storm, he didn't star, he's not in the running for any non-club awards. He spent the second half of the season developing his craft at the level without looking lost or out of place, while showing promising signs of where he is going - that's a pretty solid start for a first year player.

Spot on Rabbit.

And further to this. IMO it was Rachele that was unluckier not to get a rising star nom for his 5 goal 14 touch game, but Nick Martins 27 touch 10 mark 5 goal effort was deserving.

Soligo shares secrets behind strong debut year​

Soligo shares secrets behind strong debut year

The first-year player lined up in 16 games this past season
www.afc.com.au www.afc.com.au

Adelaide midfielder Jake Soligo reckons there’s no secret behind the mid-season form rise which led to him becoming a prominent cog in the Crows’ midfield.
Soligo, who was selected with Pick No.36 at the 2021 National Draft, made his AFL debut for the Crows in Round One.
He went on to play in Round Two, before a stint in the SANFL and then earned a recall in Round Nine.
The 19-year-old played every game from then on and impressed with his composure, hunt for the ball and hunger to win every contest.
Speaking to AFC Media post-season, Soligo said he was always looking to improve and that was the driving force behind his breakout first season.
“I think it was just chatting to coaches each week, getting reviewed on what I’m doing well and what I’m doing wrong,” Soligo said.
“Working on things at stoppages and working on my midfield craft to try and be as versatile as I can, play all positions and I reckon that’s what’s helped me the most.
“All the boys have been really good to me and helped me learn.”

Soligo described his first season as a Crow as “pretty unreal” but said his Round One debut was a bit of a blur.
“I just came into the AFL system just wanting to get through the pre-season uninjured and I didn’t expect to play as many games as I did and it was awesome,” Soligo said.
“It went very quick, the season flew by.
“It (the debut) was pretty crazy, having all the family there watching, but the game just went so quick.
“I was really honoured to debut in Round One and I’m just honoured to be part of the Crows family.”
Upon reflection on his first season, Soligo said it was “everything and more”.
“We beat some great teams this year, especially at home with the fans backing us in,” Soligo said.
“I didn’t really know what to expect when I first came here but it’s been everything and more.
“Crows fans are awesome, playing at home gets you so up and about and helps us get over the line in games.
“We’ve got such a young group, so I’m looking forward to seeing where we can go in the next couple of years.”
Soligo will return to West Lakes for pre-season training on November 21 with the one-to-four year players, while the five-plus year players will be back on December 5.
He said he would use the off-season to focus on building up his strength and working hard to be even better in 2023.
“Burgo will send out a running program and a gym program, so it’s just about doing that to the T, not missing any sessions and doing everything I can to become a better player.
“That’s always been my philosophy, always doing everything and not missing out on sessions or skipping things.”

Exactly, keep doing you JHF hate ice baths? Good! Don't use them if you don't want them. Don't wanna do that 2k time trial because it's too hot or raining, that's ok just go pump some weights

Don’t think he will

Funnily enough, when he was talking about a better environment for him to succeed, being more stable etc etc

All I thought was he was putting his future likelihood of success down to external factors, not how hard he worked, not what he did.

Side note, the use of ice baths is a highly controversial point at the moment and there’s a lot of evidence that suggests they are ineffective. Lots of top players don’t do them, Betts and Cripps as examples. I’d be interested to know if JHF is refusing them for this reason, in which case it’s absolutely ridiculous that he’s copped this much heat for it.

Heat kinda makes the ice melt.

So a 19 year old JHF has more knowledge then the clubs sport scientist or rehab staff?

I doubt JHF has done any research on this the effectiveness of ice baths

When we're talking about North, anything is possible
 
Might be a bit of an early call, but by all indicators, this is a guy that loves to learn and improve each week. So if he keeps improving...becomes an important cog in our regular 22...is he captain material?

There's nothing secretive about being good at anything ......simply recognise your faults, be prepare to accept those faults, learn, and roll your sleeves up & work hard

Most aren't prepared for that .....been told how good they are for most of the junior careers .....that's why Rookies have success, they walk a knife's edge

Capt material ......way too premature after 1 year ....remember the raptures about SPP after his first year ;)

To be fair to JHF, and I’m no Nix fan, but his senior coach was David Noble. Nix got a pretty ordinary group to be competitive, Roos we’re a pure headless rabble. You’d be better off seeking outside counsel in terms of improving yourself.
