Chol has all the right attributes, height, jump, speed, athleticism etc and all he is missing is tank, desire and work rate. You can build a tank but desire and willingness to work for himself and teammates can never be taught. come end of season let him be some other clubs problem
Agree. I have have been a fan and defender at times in the past but seeing him live in the Colonwood capitulation match, was the final straw for me. Yes, he has all the attributes - except the heart. I think basketball would be more his game, without the intense and fierce body contact aspect of AFL, a game he almost certainly never grew up playing.
But there has to be one qualification - if injuries, both ankle and quad - severely restricted him in that match. Saw him do it in a stumble at a throw-in against Grundy, Just looked clumsy. But he had to stay on; we have no-one else ... and still don't assuming Nank won't come up.
If Mabs battled on in a very limited manner afterwards, we need to cut him some slack. Overall, though, I seriously doubt he is that committed to a long AFL career.
