If your contested defending is the worst at a club that sits last on the ladder and your not a kid, you better have a decent weapon somewhere else. He doesn't. 

Awful disposal particularly by foot and bloody unreliable and generally turns it over even when running free without much pressure with ball in hand. Yes he is proven to be a very decent 2nds player but that's it.

The pace and quick decision making required in the seniors simply doesn't suit him. I will be disappointed if we haven't upgraded him and Mullet at years end.

Its as plain as day that they are not up to AFL standard long term. Yes, they provided a senior body, but there is plenty of them going around. Keep picking them up and hope to find the next Heath Scotland or Andrew Carrazzo type player who can contribute at senior level consistently.
