I've said it many times before...
There are so many kids and experienced players across the country and we went with a 26yr old foreigner who has never played the game before?
He is treacle slow, barely takes a mark, adds nothing with ball on deck and is out muscled by smaller opponents in aerial contests and can't keep his feet.
It's an indictment on our recruiting staff that this occurred and an indictment on our coach who actually keeps playing despite all of the above and that he thought he was a better option than a Travis Cloke.

He was a Cat B rookie over and above the standard list of 44 players. Just how many of these alternate kids actually qualified as Cat B rookies? Can you name a few who were just champing at the bit to leave their current sporting activity to come to the Pies? Richmond? Yep, we tried him. Wyatt? Yep, we tried him. Anyone else?
