Does play a bit of self preservation during games.He has been poor.
Does not want the footy in any sort of congestion.
I want him to succeed but I really have my doubts whether or not he'll develop the fitness/aggression/strength/intensity to make it - and if he does, it's something we'd need to sink 5 years into just to know the answer. Chances are slim if I'm being honest.
Jayden was a highlight reel at school footy but was also injured for long periods. Should really have been a rookie selection.All the fanfare when Davey's were recruited has resulted in nothing.
Did the recruiters get it wrong? were they dominating any level of footy prior to being picked up or was it some romantic whim that they might come good?
Timid is being kind.
with regards to Alwyn, does the necessity we have of him playing small forward impede his development as the mid/fwd he played as an U18?Jayden was a highlight reel at school footy but was also injured for long periods. Should really have been a rookie selection.
Alwyn JNR had good under 18 form both in Coates League and for Vic Metro. There was hype for sure but Alwyn was a genuine 20-40 range pick based on his footy.
The issue is the same for a lot of small indigenous boys. They generally do not get going until they are 21 or so. Alwyn senior did not get drafted until he was 22.
Also think the shoulder injury Alwyn copped last year has knocked the confidence in his body . He plays safe footy.
Alwyn is barely VFL standard, let alone AFL standard.Wish they were as hard at it as Pies small in Bobby Hill.
Way too slow for a small forward, this attribute should already be there, can’t be learnt and is not coming back.
Through no fault of his own got there on his surname and another Dodoro inept decision with a touch of romance.
Delist.
