I don't understand how the club couldn't see this. It's so obvious he can play and its so obvious he has skill. It was even more obvious when he gave off a bad kick or handball it was from a player who has been waiting 15 weeks to get back in the team. I'm positive there was something behind the scenes which prevented him getting games. If he was at Hawthorn he'd be on 50 games with a bright future. Something stinks at tigerland still. What stinks more is supporters who were too blind to see this and wanted him gone too
Maybe it is you who cannot see the forrest for the trees or simply you refuse to see what others have including those it would seem at the club. I don't know why you are fixated on this "something going on behind the scenes" nonsense. Have you for one minute thought they just didn't rate him or got sick of his lack of intensity, lack of mongrel, his unwillingness to attack the contest, his pulling out of contests?
Any player can have all the skill in the world but if they don't have the want, the intensity, a single mindedness, the drive and the application then it means ZERO. More often than not they will fail
Seems it's very easy to blame everyone else but not the said player. But perhaps just perhaps the player should shoulder some of the blame as well.
