He was only given a 1 year deal so I I'd say that was his first and last game for the RW&B. Most likely his last game of AFL which is sad but a reality based on the 150 or so players who will be in the same boat come the end of the year with clubs having to reduce lists by up to 10.

We have 21 players out of contract in a months time so it we shouldn't have too much trouble deciding who goes and who stays. Actually we are in a good position on that score.
No way lists will be reduced by 10. Maybe 4 next year with a reduction in the number a club has to draft. With a further reduction in 2021,

I've heard Gil say list sizes of 30 to 35 on numerous occasions so that's the AFLs way of letting you know what's coming.

Latest reports say only a small cut.

One mans small cut is another mans axe handle.

Whilst his contribution was minimal, at least he kicked that crucial goal like a pro.
He is 29 yo how much more maturity does he need?
