But then the mods should ban you for abuse of a HFC player playing his 1st game.
It was his 2nd game, he played a game last year, thats 2 games in 3 years, so it sugests to me that he isnt AFL ready now or ever !

What, so you were impressed with his debut???
I can't find another game on any AFL stat site. Do you have a link to that first game?
He did not perform well. That does not mean we write him off after one game. If we did then some players would not have blossomed.
Mark William's first game - 1 tackle. Nothing else.
Tom Murphy's first game - 4 disposals, 2 marks.
Sam Mitchell's first game - 4 disposals, 2 marks, 4 tackles.
Chance Bateman's first game - 3 disposals, 2 marks, 1 behinds, 1 tackle.
Yep. All these players should have been shipped off with their first performances.
what about their second games?
What you also have to remember is (with three of those players) we were able to give them time to develop, we dont have that luxury as were pushing on finals.
So Matt Little cost us the game tonight is what you are saying. The other 21 players were brilliant and could do no wrong and yet Little was the one who cost us a win.
I'm glad you are not our coach.

It was his first ever game. I haven't ever thought he would make it at AFL level. Every time I watch him play at BH he may kick 3/4 goals but he rarely has more than 6/7 touches and doesn't get the ball at ground level very often.
