In his last year at Carlton he played 8 or 10 senior games from memory, Richmond offered him something he was happy with and the rest is history, 200 games and a Premiership medal, with more to come maybe.
It's a stretch to argue that we didn't underestimate his ability but if that's where you want to go it's up to you.
My point is, according to you, he sooked it up because he wasn't playing 1's.
Ability doesn't enter into that debate.
He wasn't playing (Or wasn't playing enough) so he had 2 options.
1. Work on his weaknesses to cement his spot in the 1's .....and he has weaknesses
2. Piss off somewhere else.
It's like Laidler all over again.
Play the way we NEED you to play, otherwise we can't fit you in.
That doesn't mean the way you can play can't benefit someone else....just not us.
Both made their choice.
