After five years, the former #1 draft pick is still unable to break into the club' top 10 in the B & F. He has the talent but needs to knuckle down and play the tough hard football one expects of such a prized selection. Yet to commit to the club for 2014 and beyond, but new coach Paul Roos is confident he will sort him out if he stays.

How do I say this without drawing a multitude of supporters of the "he is [censored] weak" style or "he lacks ticker" etc they are not required as he has had plenty of them and I do not totally disagree.

However I would rather that he plays the "tough hard football"when his body is able to absorb that punishment or there are others around him able to provide equivalent support.

I would prefer his skills to be used even if on the periphery of contests than have him in the injured room where many tough no compromise players end up.

He is still relatively young and slightly built compared to others and I reckon Roos will develop him as a player as his body develops. Roos can maybe recognise the features of similarity with A Lynch

he is a utility.

he should be developed as a goodes or goddard or hird

I would give him more for ticker but it bodes well that you score him 9/10 for the other qualities as that in itself makes him elite in the AFL>

nope, elite players are 8-9 in all categories, that's what makes them elite

Agreed! Looking for PRoos to sort him out! Expected the dotted line signed by now. Terms etc have been agreed to
