The standard to crack the AFL seniors has definately lifted across the AFL. Its much harder IMO to be a talented kid who just waltzes in and makes an immediate impact.
If hes down on himself it must be only because he had “superstar” ideas about his own potential.
He is a natural footballer with gifts others.will never develop no matter how hard they try.
The hard work he did over the summer should stand him in good stead for better performance and for a rewarding amount of AFL games this year.
I really want to see what he has in his footy arsenal.
Go for it kid.
