Surely he is a dud. Can't be that bloody good if he can't sneak in for more than 5 games a season. I liked him when I saw him play because of his beard. Not sure you draft blokes based on their beards thoughdunno if he is a dud or not but a pretty hard gig to get a game in front of taylor scarlett and lonergan coach. hes probably been in direct competition with scarlett for a game.

But he's a fairly mature age and he's come into the side quite a few times and failed to hold his spot.
