100% this, it's also why he couldn't get a game at the Suns, if he wants to play AFL he will have to find a bit more competiveness otherwise he won't go much further in his career.
I don't see him with that bit of mongrel required, either you have it or you don't and unfortunately he don't!
I say keep him and move him forward, the position he was drafted as to play.
I thought he showed promise as a forward early days but his body continually let him down.
He's one of the few who cracks in and how many would have lost all confidence after the beatings he's taken and dropped their...
Also people who think he will be better with a bit of weight added are in for a shock, he is as uncompetitive as Wedeman and ADJ which is saying a lot.
No one expects him to crash and bash just put your head over the ball and compete...
He had his perfect match up on the weekend and had his...
We could have Jesus coaching us and it wouldn't make any difference whatsoever and whist we have so many uncompetive players on our list, we will never be any good.

My wife commented on how lethargic he looks and that he doesn't appear to want to be out there.
Also his body language is putrid and I partially blame the selectors who keep picking him when he is clearly not in the right frame of mind.
Why does he only kick 15m passes or handball ?, I don't think I've seen him kick it more than 20 metres in any one game.
That makes him look like he panics every time he wins the ball, simular to McGrath.
I agree but he doesn't select himself, this is an error at the selection table.
Just irks me that people jump on here and carry on as if he's the only problem.
He's got the same lines everytime he's interviewed, sounds great but how about putting into action words are cheap... how ironic that the only fight he showed was against one of his own teammates.
One of the first to wave to white flag when it gets tough and plays like a rabbit in headlights.
The bloke's missed the last 10 games, he doesn't select himself but hey he's the problem ??
What about Wright, McGrath, Menzie, Laverde, Gresham, Stringer, Perkins, Redman what's their excuse and not just this week ???
We need to draft /trade for players who are competitive first and foremost, our list is made up of mentally weak and physically soft players.
Too many go missing when it gets tough, go through our list and see how many you can name that stand up in big games.
I'm sick of all the excuses, just...
So we agree then, the coaching staff trying to turn him into a winger need a rocket put under them.
How long do they continue with this experiment ?, surely they can see that this aint working and the poor kid's confidence is shot.
His game awareness is non existant at the moment, he has no idea when to go and when not to go and gets caught in two minds in between contests.
In his first season he attacked the footy and was clean with it, now he looks like he doesn't want the ball anywhere near him.
His confidence is...
Even Melbourne's Langdon who is the biggest downhill skier in the league was baiting him on his softness.
He drops his head and his body language is putrid !
Lastly you are a right footer, so stop showboating & use it on set shots because when you miss you open yourself up to this type of...
This is the point, most of us think he shouldn't have got a week but with some of the suspensions previously for the same type of incidents it becomes a bit of a joke.
Previously, if the head makes contact with the ground in a tackle the tackler was suspended because they have a duty of care or...
The main reason I was suggesting this was it was the only way I could see both Caddy & Jones playing in the same team and it was frustrating the F### out of me that Caddy couldn't break into the side.
Not having a dig at you ant but you also thought that he wouldn't have the tank to play on a wing when I suggested this a few weeks ago, what are your thoughts after having seen him play a full game there ?
He's still running as hard towards the end of games making contests on a wing or running players down and lets face it Kelly gives us nothing in that wing role ?
They will have to get a little creative as you'd like to see both Caddy and Jones playing, they are the future ?
He definitely has the tank, that was one of his strengths spoken about in his draft year, his ability to run his oppenents ragged.
I don't mind the thought of him back either, they will have to come up with something because I don't think they can fit all the talls we have in the forward line...
I will keep banging on about this but why not put Jones to a wing ?, he's not a big goal kicker and his strength is his ability to get around the ground and take marks. He would be a good outlet when coming out of defence too.
Caddy moves to CHF, he will crash packs and bring the ball to...
