I can't comprehend why he was put on such a long contract (given he is from WA, never looked like leaving and wasn't likely to generate huge interest/offers from other clubs) but he is decent depth. Sure, he has deficiencies but his best isn't as bad as people make out. I thought his start to the year was pretty good and then he was dropped somewhat unfairly after a couple of average games when there were worse offenders in those games. That said, I don't want him in the starting team and think we need to move to a different brand of football (far more contested) than we have been playing and he isn't particularly suited to that.
