I'm not a big user of social media - care to elaborate a little??

Put it this way, they party a fair bit and a beer is never far out of shot. If I was a bloke, who for a host of reasons. wasnt getting a game? I'd be busting a nut 24/7 working on those things that would get me a game. This is the difference btw your Juddys, Crippas, etc and your KJs and Nickky Gs. Time is running out kiddies.

Well it would certainly explain the lack of game time, talent is there , shame to see it wasted if this is the case

Sounds to me like they've just decided (rightly or otherwise) that they won't be playing senior footy, so they may as well enjoy themselves.

Lifestyle footy players.

Probably. Perhaps they are just happy being on an AFL list. They clearly don't (or didn't) have the desire to leave no stone unturned.

Would you want to be 'in the trenches' with blokes who have this attitude (assuming it's true)?

I probably should have said "appear to party alot" as I don't know for sure. What I also should have said is "compared to other players" on social media. I guess I am being picky on these blokes because bigger things were expected of them and they cant get a regular gig. Little things like how they come across on social media stand out to me. The better, more disciplined players fly under the radar (or at least seem to be gifted more latitude).

I think that's a fairer assessment G2C.

There may be many reasons why Graham and Jaksch can't cement a spot in the 22.  Their social media activity may provide a clue ... or it may be completely irrelevant  :-\

I guess you have to ask yourself how closely the stuff on social media reflects reality. I suspect there is a high degree of embellishment there.

IMHO Social Media is the portrayel of a lifestyle, and not likely to be an accurate picture of how people live their lives.

Its arguable that some people who have a public profile, might not even do their own social media.

Even if it were true, Fev liked more than one beer and Id hazard that Tex Walker likes one too.  Liking a beer on even a semi regular basis wont hold back a footy career.

If they drink heavily frequently that might do it, but even one beer a day wouldnt be a death knell provided they were not out until all hours and it didnt stop them from putting in the hard yards.
