I don’t think that’s a bad take. I’d add that we don’t have a plethora of senior small forwards, so he’s handy depth.I will cop it for this
Difference is menzie had a good year in 2023 and is someone who cracks in hard and trains hard from reports
Had a bad 2024 year but he did atleast show something last year which is why i believe they were willing to give him another year
Well it is a lot easier to be objective when you do not play favorites.And yet he remains president
His last interview said it was about security as well. Hawks sold him the vision and longer contract. We sat back thinking he would just sign. Maybe if we played him more then yes he stays but going on the last interview he probably would have if it was two years from the beginning. And it was not half back they sold him on. He did not really want to play half back. He played 80% wing and 20% half forward.I thought D'Ambrosio said it had more to do with opportunity. Mitchell made it clear he wanted to put him first cab off the rank in a senior wing or halfback role.

They did in the end.It was going to be hard for Dodoros team to offer a multiple year contract to a player that's playing reserves.
And that’s keeping Hep on the list for a couple of years to long, he didn’t bring enough, wasn’t a key position player offering protection, stopped others getting opportunities and just blocked developmentI thought D'Ambrosio said it had more to do with opportunity.

No it doesn’t it happens all the time even Hayes just signed a two year deal despite not playing a senior gameIt was going to be hard for Dodoros team to offer a multiple year contract to a player that's playing reserves.
