[TheFourPillars]

Ok that's good news it isn't a recent injury.

Hmmm i am sorry guys but he may have done it again while trying to get up to fitness.

Bugger.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Is not playing for Box Hill this week and is not on the injury list. What gives?

Illness probably

 

[The Chad and I]

What's happened with this lad?
I was expecting him to push through for a handful of games this season.
Definitely got the attribute we need.

 

[Coach Killer]

Injured most of the season. He’s bottom 10 on the list which means it will be tough to get a new contract.

 

[CHUBBSS]

I still have faith

 

[Billyc]

I’d give him another year. In hope, not based on anything he’s shown.

 

[Walshawk]

I know he has had a heap of injuries, but still he has not shown enough. Isn’t quick and is very, very, very outside.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

Has had a touch start to his career. Killer Cormier strapped up for almost all of 2021 and reoccuring hamstrings limiting him to only 2 games in a row once.

Showed a bit in the Gold Coast VFL game kicking two goals.

I'd keep him. 6'1 winger with a solid build.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I reckon at best he's 50/50 to be on the list in 2023.
Won't at all surprise if he's delisted, as I think the queries on his temperament in the contest might have already stamped his papers in the mind of our coach.

Has the feel for one of those "we'll pick you back up with our last rookie pick if you're still available" situations.

Alas i think you might be right

 

[daniel23]

He is unfortunately a hardluck story , i just don't think he has enough traits to make it.

It seems detached from the reports on him before he was drafted. Was a leader etc etc and good character. Wasn't a whiff of this that I caught wind of.

His career on edge all comes down who else might be available as others have said. Given we haven't had 2 normal years I won't be unhappy if he gets a 1 year deal and it might be enough if he is hung out a bit to get him focussed and driven.

It's been a glaring issues since he debuted, I feel a player drafted in the first 2 rounds should be given 3 years so i hope he gets an extra year to show traits he had in his under 18's.

 

[MrPremiership]

When was the last time we delisted a top 40 draftee within 2 years?

Can only think of Lovell.....and that was attitude related.

Suspect he gets 2023 as a last chance, might even be on the rookie list

Even Lovell got 3 years, with the covid years I don't see why Downie would get delisted just yet.

 

[play2win]

the pies were big fans pre draft, and I also assume wright was too, maybe there is a home for him there?

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Elite kick that can roost it 55m with little issue. He was looking really good in pre-season, and then the injury issues arose.

No way we delist someone with that kind of weapon after two years, when he hasn't had a chance to get a clear run at it.

What's the queries? Is he soft at the contest?

Good memory he was an emergency round 1 yeah?

Allergic to the hardball gets. Doesn’t bode well playing for Sam.
He looks like a Clinton young to me

Predraft I said he was a Lonie Brother ... Didn't think he had it. Can kick a footy but

I'll take another Youngy every day of the week.
