Is he behind Tom Lee in terms of development, maybe we need to draft Boyd, if we can, just in case these lads don't cut it


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

He shouldnt at the moment. Not going near well enough and i doubt it will teach him the effort required to reach the top if we gift him games for no reason at all.
Seemed to take a step forward in the last game. Keep tracking at that rate and we'll see him playing seniors within a month.....

Doubt it based on the year as a whole. reckon he is a long way off. Next year for him IMO.

It would be a complete gift based on form so far and i do say so far. his problem is his laziness during games. gifting a game may suggest to him he has overcome that so he wont continue to work hard and that is the reason we do have something to lose. No gifting games to anyone especially lazy players.

Last 2 games has been best (actually only) 4 quarter football he's played this year. Hasnt kicked goal for 7 weeks though, but is actually in game for enture game now instead just quarter cameo like opening few weeks. Still long way off though.

They try push him up onto wing and have "Pagens Paddock" type scenario, clearly they trying get ball over back for him to try run and use his pace. What i've really liked but it is bit frustrating, is he plays on and takes the game on. Isnt afraid to go for run and try get through the crowd. He actually played half back for little bit vs Frankston.

The question is does he deserve a game. i say no. I dont think it will help him at all in the long run.

No I dont think he's earnt a game, but I could have said the same for Murdoch/Saunders this year based on VFL performances before their debuts. I reckon they'll give him a game later in year, just to give him a taste. Bit like they did with Seb Ross and co late last year.

Cheers mate. It'll be interesting to see how his career pans out. We've all got high hopes for the guy and the club really needs to see him live up to his potential.

Paperone was drafted this year by Brisbane. Very raw and skinny but has done some good things in his few games. Thats what you will get from these young kids.

You must follow the reserves side at Brisbane well to know he didnt do much before he played.
