Some rookies also benefit immensely by moving interstate, SA is a fishbowl with every machination amplified tenfold. Being an academy player only enhances the spotlight, Keeler would have been scrutinised more than most I suspect. The other point is the fact talls are hot & cold, that means many of the negatives can linger in the memory longer than the highpoints. It's a classic case of half glass empty or half glass full. I think when you are dealing with a player who can kick 50 metres, take a hanger, scoop the ball up and fish tail through traffic it pays to focus on the positives. Keeler's body of work is more evolved than many forwards who have been selected in the first round, if he adapts to life as a professional footballer then the rewards could be immense. Adelaide have gone on record stating they don't believe Keeler can cut it as a ruck, I beg to differ & believe he has all the tools to emulate a player like Ryder.
