All valid points re Honey.
But....he was not in great form in the VFL. He has shown little form in the AFL.
So if we want to build confidence etc, surely he has to get VFL right first?
The kid has had an extended run at it already. This will be his 5th game in a row. He has had a best game of 10 disposals. Is tackling less than twice a game on average. Has 1, 1% for the year.
He is older than Durdin and Motlop, but performing worse and hitting the scoreboard less, as well as getting the ball less.
We don't gift games to anyone at the moment, Cowan, Holland and Cincotta have all earned games.......and then there is honey.
Cowan performed better, but was still dropped when form warranted it.
I don't see what he is doing that continues to give him that 'free pass' for now.
