Whether people do or don't wish injuries on JH-F, the start to his career was not great and it's getting worse.
He'll now miss 80% + by the sounds of the upcoming preseason after putting in a very underwhelming first preseason with us. The stories about how slack he was at training right from the start have come out. But it was clear watching games live how poor his tank was. Sure he had those burst efforts but he couldn't keep up in transition.
He had a lot of ground to catch up aerobically. That won't happen til preseason 23/24 now. When is he going to be able to run the 14km minimum required week in week out with those leg problems and his poor fitness base? Not for a long time you'd guess.
Taking the emotion out of it, trading him and the actual trade is looking like a really good outcome for us.
