Isn’t it a shame that some guys just can’t make the transition. The fringe players that don’t have the stones for the big league.
Connor Menadue prolific at vfl level, The other Ellis couldn't even get a game at the Gold Coast last season and Miles is out now with better youngsters coming through
Naish looks the same type. Too good for vfl but just not good enough for the AFL and can’t make the transition. Where as a player like Baker hasn’t looked back. We took a chance with Townsend and he became a premiership player.
Markov looks to me to be the type to take a look at in seniors but for some reason can’t get a game and the match committee have opted for Eggs instead. Is it injuries or is he just the same as the rest of them? Not good enough for the big leagues.
Then there’s Aarts, Stack, Higgins, Pickett.
We have no idea yet but Dow, RCD, Fraser, English, Miller etc.
I’d personally like to see a few games from Markov if not at half back maybe as a swap for the out of form Rioli.
Let’s see what he’s got. If he’s no good why keep him?
