While he is wearing our colours I will support him every inch, but I think he has been a weight on the team and we would have been better off cutting him loose a while ago, and looking for a proper mentor for our young forwards.
There wasn't many around for that and if there was they were unlikely to come to us. To kick 34 goals last year as essentially a 2nd ruck that's a decent output for a guy from deep in the rookie draft in a club that struggles badly to kick a goal. Player of limited ability who managed to fill a big hole reasonably decently given there was no-one else. Don't think it was ever a plan for him to be our no.1 forward. Might've been more dangerous as no.2 forward in a better side. There was never going to be a big breakout game as he wasn't that good. Probably made the most out of limited ability.
