Issue is he's a 26 year old project player even though he's played VFL since 2017. No doubting he's worked extremely hard to get here but I wasn't expecting him to look like such a rugby player even in a debut game for his age.Wow, ud think half f the knockers here had played 250 outstanding AFL games
The guy's made his way from Rugby to AFL...hence his age, so its been a long journey. He's overcome an ACL along the way and worked his a$$ off to get here....there are no free lunches.
It's his first AFL game in a side that lets face it was way below their best today against a side that could finish top 4.
Give the bloke a break and lets see what he can do. We're light on in physiques and bodies atm and at 195cm and around 100 kegs we could use his weight being thrown around given a few games. Let's see what he can do given some games.
MRJ has played nearly 30 games and still looks lost at times.
Peace.
There were question marks on drafting Marlion at 27 years old but the guy was a natural at least.
