The Quick Fix

[LP]

It's nonsense that tall players are no good until they're 24 or 25, the good ones don't take that long.

Can you provide some examples, that aren't named Franklin? Even Franklin was a highlight reel player until about his 4th season!

Showing "signs" or being "good" are pretty subjective terms B4L, what are the numbers, what is "good"?

Would you say,

Taylor Walker
Josh Jenkins
Josh Kennedy
Jack Riewoldt
Jarryd Roughead

None of them much chop in terms of being statistically good until after season 3 or 4, highlights sure, but before season 4 nothing of real substance!

I could add,

Charlie Dixon
Jarrad Waite
Tom Hawkins
Jack Darling

but they were even slower starters!

That means most of them come good around 23 or older, McKay is a bottom ager, he'll be 23 at the end of 2020! And fairness to McKay, most of the above were playing in and around established older players who could show them the ropes! Do we judge McKay by what he learns off our older KPFs, that being primarily Levi?

Sort of sucks doesn't it, I'm starting to see what Judd meant!
