It wasn't only Scott that was underwhelmed.
Blind Freddy noted week in and out that String was at the back of every contest, standing still and looking to take a specky to add to his tally. Not very team orinetated in our weekest area of the ground.
I'm glad he played for us - but I'm also...
I'd like possibility of our HBFs folding through the middle with wings sliding back to cover defence.

Pro - he doesn't play in our next flag, we'd be looking to reduce his CBA over the next 2 years to preserve his body and the draft capital we could source would help us to...
Not piling into him, as he came over and fit into our F50 - but was he ever 100% at his best fitness for a full year?
IMO he had the potential to be a 60+ goal forward if he was at optimal fitness.
It never seemed to me he was... and we got 40 max from his time. Now over 30 and not stripping...
