I've always had the theory that players who request a trade after 2 years from when they were drafted were soft as butter, lacked loyalty and would never end up having a good AFL career.
Would luv to know what others thought about this??

At his best he most certainly is.

A bigger deal out west.
Well, more about how talent is a fickle thing.

Nathan Buckley went alright, Brett James, Mark Stevens.... There's a few who've been very good AFL players.
He didn't do the pre season last year. He was rehabbing his shoulder, spent most of the year building his fitness and touch, and only debuted at the end of the year. So he's technically coming off his first pre season. Give him time.

You got me on Buckley.
The other 2 really left after 2 years?
He's got the talent to become cripps Carlton version. No ticka, no fight though.

It's hard to say at this point, seeing how Cook was in the group who got hit by COVID, and it's able to linger (on top of removing a bit of momentum). Bit unfortunate but he should bounce back eventually.

Lol, players always line up where named. Keays is our new CHF.
BTW, I don't mind if Hinge lines up on a wing. Imo, he will end up playing more in defence, but no reason he can't play on a wing at times either.

I'm not sure he does, and I'm loathed to question a players commitment. Jackson has not lived up to the pre draft expectations, it happens.

Whoever plays on one of the wings in the practice match is just warming the spot for Dawson who will slot straight in there round 1Lol, players always line up where named. Keays is our new CHF.

I hope so. I bloody love him. Could be anything, I reckon.

If you want some modern versions: Sam Docherty, Elliot Yeo, Jack Steele, Jack Scrimshaw (building nicely), Tom Hickey, Jack Hombsch, Jack Gunston.
That said, there is likely more to say about if you're moving on in two years for opportunity reasons, your career is in a bit of strife. Of course, toughing it out doesn't make you a good footballer either. If you're going for the payday at this point, you're likely to be on track for a good career regardless what you do (though of course, a move is riskier then staying).

Yep, and he showed way more for GWS at AFL and NEAFL levels than he has showed for us at AFL and SANFL level.
Hopefully he can turn it around but it isn't looking too promising at this point in the season.

Mind you I don't think it was his decision alone.
We are a side that is bottom 4. He had his preseason, I think he doesn't really deserve any excuses.
If he's that good, he should be in.

Makes a big difference. My theory is for 2 years not 3.
Yeo left the Brisbane shit show, bucks was organised pre draft not sure if Steele was forced out by gws?
We have increased from 5 to an impressive 8 fifty-plus game players. Poort have a meager 17 (but, but, but we’re missing Orazio, Charlie, SPP, Slops and Dumont).
I think we could see yet another glorious March GF by the Pear.
Our teams doesn’t look too bad (but I thought it looked OK last week). The Miracle at Milner Street?
