he had a badly broken leg that took him a long time to recover from. he supposedly still has a limp and until recently could not kick with his left because it hurt.
There are also concerns over his attitude. FIGJAM possibly sums it. supposedly not backwards in giving teammates a spray and plays selfish for the glory.
If this is correct then a big pass on him.
glad you said supposedly. theres nothing wrong with his attitude and hes very much a team player. besides give me figjam like buddy darling etc on the ground rather than introverted like post.the best players have that arrogance and swagger. every time ive heard him speak in an interview he seems to be well spoken down to earth and easy going.
why is it we look for reasons to put players down. i can understand not wanting him because of the injury and the percieved risk that he may not get back his athleticism because of it.
but to bring his character into it i dont get. hes probably well in front of where he should be after such an injury which says his attitude and desire to succeed is very good.
the fact he can play pretty decent footy and his left still affects him tells me more about the upside than the negative.
the only question i ask about this kid is will he get back his full use in his leg and his athleticism and fitness over the next couple of seasons. every indicator says yes hes made fantastic inroads to this point.
you should get some vision on him the way he feeds the ball out he doesnt take on players unselfishley he seems to pick the right time to take players on is dustin martin selfish taking on players all the time. you want these big bodies taking it on anyway.
