Debutant
Is he really a top 10 pick - even with less than 15 games under his belt?
While it seems that he has the athletic ability and genetics to indicate that he could thrive at an AFL club, can someone who is 17 but had never kicked the ball in anger a year ago really be considered a top 10 pick?
Is this a case of athletic abaility over ruling football ability (which was arguably the fashion a few years ago), or does he have the intelligence, understanding and mentality (that horrible word potential) to learn the game and become a footballer?
Can this still be taught to a 17yo? Any notable success stories in similiar circumstances? (Stynes and Wight perhaps?)
