Hickey and Templeton were brilliant. Dominated and read the play like guns! I was so excited.
BOGs!! And we looked to have found a 10 year gun ruckman and a 12 year gun half forward.
What happened???
Now they are mediocre VFL players.
#confused and dissapointed
And it was different to when players have a blinder Out of character or easy possies (eg white)
No, these two were awesome in a tight game and looked a level above. I dont get how its changed so much.
Injuries must have halted their confidence maybe?

Re: Stkilda v GWS ROUND 2 2014
One had a horrendous broken arm & wasn't expected to play until late this year.
The other had a number of injury issues that have caused him to lack the fitness required to play top level AFL footy.
Not sure what there is to be confused about. Both are working there way back into fitness & form & now have other players in front of them.
Both will be very good long term players for us IMO. And to call them mediocre VFL players is pretty insulting...both were very good on Sunday.

But good vfl and dominating afl is a huge difference.

Re: Stkilda v GWS ROUND 2 2014
Eli's break was a shocker, the scar on the back of his arm from the operation goes from his shoulder to his elbow, it will take him a while to get back some confidence. Hickey was very good in the second half in the VFL, he looked very mobile and took some nice defensive marks. He will be a good ruckman

Both progressing nicely IMO, I don't have either on our top 10 prospects but I certainly wouldn't be worrying about them just yet.
It's also worth noting that Eli gets a lot of attention in the VFL, more than I would have expected for this stage in his career.

Re: Stkilda v GWS ROUND 2 2014
Eli had nerve damage & the prognosis was that it would take most of 2015 for him to get 100% feeling back into his arm. He's significantly ahead of schedule obviously & as Armooo stated, he's also getting tagged in the VFL (which might change now that Sinclair is in the side- hopefully only for a week though!).
He's behind a few at present but we're playing the long game here & will be in his benefit to spend some time at Sandy & develop his midfield/forward game further.
As for Tom, it's been a combo of foot & knee. He moved really well on Sunday & is only a slight injury to Billy away from being back in the ones.
