Careful.. you're beginning to sound like Dean Bailey under cross-examination.
Can those that watch SANFL regularly comment on how Tyler is going. Obviously needed a massive improvement in fitness but seems to be struggling to step up to league level
Yeah not going that well, played better footy last year IMO

As I said in the SANFL thread, pretty bad. To his credit, the paunch is gone, but so has the talent. He has zero influence and could well be a bust.
If it was possible he could probably do with a run in a lower level just to have some impact. He is still young but doesn't look SANFL league standard.
I used to think it was just effort holding him back but I am starting to think he might not have the talent for AFL.
He still has plenty of time to turn it around.

Too early to be writing the young fella off yet.
Don't think Burgess being the main focus deep forward is helping, maybe playing Tyler further up the ground where he likely would have more opportunities to find the pill would assist?

He's very much a project player. Will be a non-factor in 2025 but far too early to write him off long-term just yet.
We probably need to manage our expectations about how high we can reasonably expect a player's ceiling to be when they're taken at pick 59 in the draft. Yes, some great players have come from the later rounds, preseason draft, rookie draft etc, but that is very speculative territory. And if it doesn't work out it's not like we burned a good pick on him like we did with the likes of McAsey, Gallucci, McHenry etc
It's an interesting side note that another young SA key forward in Charlie West is apparently debuting for Collingwood this week against Freo. If I'm not mistaken we could have drafted Charlie for a pretty similar pick as to what we got Tyler so that comparison between the two will be one to watch going forward.

How did he go returning from injury? Seemed to be kicking some goals at least
He's going ok. Needs a big preseason and get AFL standard fit.
Hope he improves from stone motherless last in the 2K time trial.

In terms of highlight watching only seems to have shown a couple of glimpses the last fortnight in terms of clunking some big marks and putting on the afterburners to kick some goals.
Remain convinced there's something to work with there.

Nothing Welsh has shown in the last year has changed my opinion on this.
McHenry may have been a very ordinary AFL footballer, but at the very least he had the drive and work rate required of the level. Welsh has neither.

Absolute example of "Needs a big preseason"
Absolute example of “needs the biggest kick up the ass” of all time.
Someone needs to kick the FIGJAM out of him.

Kicking him or not playing him and setting these arbitrary fitness standards is one way, one that has cost us a few talents over the years... another might be if we think he can play, playing him in a less aerobic position at afl level to start with like in defence and see if the penny drops.
Surely dropping from first round discussions to no other club being interested should have adjusted any ego issues a bit.
