Yep fair enough and that one didn't work that day. doesn't mean we can't try him in a different role thought to force him into the action

He can't play backline, doesn't have the focus needed. He's a 3rd tall forward, high unaccountable forward. He has all the talent but (at least on the evidence on display) doesn't have the mindset and focus. Tell him to just go out and run and jump, no need to be accountable, just put on a show, he's probably kick 7 goals one week, but get zero touches for the next 3.
It's a shame, but you can have all the talent in the world but if you don't have the right mindset it aint going to happen.

Great to see him go back to the Reserves last week and kick one from six possessions. Time to trade for a 4th round pick.

There's a certain road every player starts on as they progress along their AFL journey.
As they drive along the way, there are many turnoffs, the most popular route is called 'failed to take the next step'. |

I don't think Sturt have a 4th rounder this year...

i think Ash has gone backwards since he came to us. Had a lot of flair and talent when he started playing. |

He still has it, it's his application that is wanting.
Can't help but think the move to Melbourne hasn't allowed him to settle down. Halls Creek > Perth > Wangaratta > Adelaide > Melbourne, can't have been easy to put down roots so far away from family.

| I had high hopes for 'Magic' Johnson, as he has an incredible skillset, but sadly, he does not seem to have the necessary tenacity or 'mongrel' required to play at this level. He seems a really nice kid and I wish him well, but unless something dramatically changes, I suspect we'll never see him get a senior berth again. I hope I'm wrong. |

He can always go bush again and try to do a Trevor Sutton.
