then he is is mentally weak and cant respond to adversity

Hes 18, it's called a lack of maturity
first off, i dont believe it to actually be the case.

and if it was, his age has very little to do with it.

a persons character is well formed by young adulthood, not to say it cant be developed though.

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

“I think it’s been up and down.  I’ve had some good times and bad times,” was how Menadue described his first-up season at the game’s highest level in an interview with ‘Roar Vision’.

“It was good to get a feel of AFL level and to know what’s the standard and what I need to work on . . . It’s a good motivating step to playing AFL.

“I probably didn’t expect to play that early, but I was definitely grateful for the opportunity and  cherished it . . .  I was happy to play when I was needed.”

Menadue has a couple of main goals for the upcoming pre-season . . .

“To put on size obviously is a focus for me.  But also to keep playing to my strengths, which is my running ability,” he said.

“I want to come back bigger and fitter, and then hopefully run really well . . .”

Kid showed glimpses- something Richmond are famous for getting out of their younger players only to see very little eventuate
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

A lot of peeps getting carried away with this kid & Im stuffed if I know why.
The possibility of physical and mental collapse is now very real. No sympathy for the Devil, keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

He's got a good set of wheels but he needs to put the weight on in a big way.

At the draft Blair said that we must give this guy at least 3 years to build up his body. After that we expect the return for our investment.  :shh

Menadue was the most exciting thing to come out of the first half today where he had 8 possies and kicked a couple. He must have been subbed off in the 2nd half as I didn't hear his name mentioned.

 I think he'll be in the side round 1. His pace is great - his kicking and composure taking some strong grabs both up fwd and in the last line was very good to see
