Serious question here. Then why didn't he play more games if he is such an elite talent? He would surely have been able to get gametime over someone like Hartung or maybe even Brad Hill when he was playing poorly.
For what it's worth I don't think we'll get him but curious as to why someone who is such an elite talent didn't play more AFL
Hey mate,
Yeah that's a very good question and I'll start by saying it has nothing to do with his talent.
Jed fell really sick last year with pneumonia, he eventually got that right and played some nab games and the all stars game ( where he dominated ) and early on he played senior footy. Unfortunately he hurt his should and missed months of footy, he also had othe niggles that kept him out and he only really played the tail end of the VFL season with absolutely no fitness and still really showed he was above the level ( look at his gf highlights for proof ).
Injuries and illness aside he'd be a lock in our midfield rotation. He is super tough, tackles like a machine, has elite skills and hits the score board, has a nice turn of foot and rarely makes a bad decision with the footy. The simple fact is he just hasn't had the tank and legs to play league footy and it's really not his fault.
He has a full pre season he is a lock starting 22 player for us.
