Troy Taylor, Marty McGrath were insanely talented lads too that couldn't come to grips with what was required.Exactly
Should be the total opposite if he had any aspirations of getting picked up by a clubGiven he wont have a contract the idea of him doing any fitness work over summer is remote IMO.
He's done.
Yep agreedShould be the total opposite if he had any aspirations of getting picked up by a club
so disappointing when players with the talent to actually play at the highest level take that for granted and *smile* it up

That’s the way life is. Wasted aspirations or potential to AFL football are not the only opportunities lost or spurned.Should be the total opposite if he had any aspirations of getting picked up by a club

Stackie still has time to change his course.
You could say that for some of us, but I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking it’s more about life for some of these guys.Their choice.
At the end of the day, we’re all just selfish supporters who want to be entertained.

He tried it and it wasn’t for him. He couldn’t find the inner motivation to match his abilities. He gave us some thrills along the way.They have always had that choice but they perused the AFL life style and the $$$
And they are still trying to remain.
We selfish supporters in 1 way or another "Paying for their salaries by buying memberships , Merch and pay TV as well as being targets for sponsors"
I wouldnt call expecting a level of commitment to be selfish

Know an ex player who was at Richmond with Troy Taylor. Reckons his on field talent was off the charts, used to torch experienced players with ease. But off field was the complete opposite. In my friends opinion he was completely unsuited to the AFL life and it ended as such. He reckons Troy could have done with a season or 2 in the SANFL to slowly get used to what was required before having to step up to AFL. Said he was a great fella.Troy Taylor, Marty McGrath were insanely talented lads too that couldn't come to grips with what was required.

That’s absolutely true. I think why they get over represented in this space is that many of them have to adapt to a massive change in lifestyle and it’s not because they are indigenous but because of the background they have.its not only indigenous kids who struggle with the demands of an elite professional sport

Who are you disappointed for? Him or yourself?
100%, amongst Caucasians, our very own Dan Connors springs to mind, very talented but not committed enough to succeed.True.
The Irish trying to adapt and assimilate are a good example.
