I know this has been done to death, but I just couldn't understand why this kid was let go - based on the fact that:
- he is still very very young
- he was picked with a pretty high pick (20s) (looks like another Poyas situation)
- he has the skill and ability

However, I have received some information that:
- he actually asked to be delisted - and was not willing to be rookied
- didn't fit in with the other players - was isolated from the playing group
- wasn't adapting well to Melbourne
- did not have a good rapport with Wallace nor the new coaching staff
- hated playing at a second rate VFL club
- had some alleged relationship issues with a Melbourne girl.
