Lets call a spade a spade LP.
We have no idea. These kids are kids. I have played with some kids. Sometimes they just Ceebs doing training because FML, FISHYOLO and i'd rather be on insta chasing skirt right now.
or they can be like Fogarty and simply state that they will return home at the first opportunity.
TAC Cup coaches would lose their job if clubs thought the info they were given wasn't genuine or accurate, they are basically employed by the AFL on behalf of the clubs, that is their job!
What players say to club recruiters is completely different and out of the control of the development coaches, that info will however be cross referenced to the reports generated by TAC Cup coaches and list managers. That is the reality we know, it's not speculation.
Also the Fogarty case is interesting, because there are just as many players who openly want the flipside like Schache and pull the pin when things do not work out! If Fogarty wasn't getting a game would his tune change? Even so, that is a different issue to the way Development coaches assess players.
