This leaves a lot of good footballers unable to make use of natural aerobic capacity. So it's a bit unfair to comment on his U18s form.I watched a bit of him at U18 level and he was hardly a standout even with his tagging, had a very ordinary final too and
I doubt too many teams would have had him on their radar so thats probably a tick for SOS.
The point of my post is a unheralded battler is getting preferred over some very fancied high picks because he works his ar$e off and will give you 100% every time he fronts up and that is great but in reality tells a tale of where we are.
