Plus taking time out for personal reasons.Yep...First game back vs a very decent team and everyone under pressure didnt make for a easy transition back into senior footy.
Looked off the pace with the speed of the game, Essendon are very quick as are the Dogs so he has a couple of weeks of doing it tough and I wouldnt be playing him deep in defense where he may get a bit nervous.
He is still a kid learning and I know we want the odd messiah player or two to evolve but I dont think he is at that stage yet.
