There's also the very simple reality that some players take longer to develop than others. The question of how long a club should wait for a player to show something is a matter of professional judgment. If LoB was at Hawthorn or Geelong, he would have spent most of the past few years in the 2's. The Bolton / Silvagni "axis of evil" lol decided against this approach, in large part because stuff all development happens at the Bullants, and they were better off playing and developing the kids in the 1's.
