Got a few touches but it was a big reality check I reckon. Learned a bit about how hard and fast the game is at that level and will probably get dropped back to work on some things but knowing Liam he will soak it up and be back sooner rather than later. Copped a harsh lesson first up playing on Hooker, Hurley and Fletcher in patches and in his defence the delivery was atrocious (very Richmond-esque at times) but he has that game under his belt and will be all the better for it I'm sure. Very proud of him today just for what he has already gone through to reach that level and almost did myself a serious injury when he kicked his goal by punching the air in my lounge room only to dodge the ceiling fan by mm's!!
Thanks for everyone's interest and kind thoughts over the journey I have tried to help chronicle on here - the "Life As A Potential Draftee" journey is over now and I will leave this thread to posterity but keep an eye on Liam's progress if you are watching the Lion's in the future, he's a top guy and deserves everything he can achieve out of his career.
