The other side of that, it may not be a grey matter issue. He could've been protecting himself against further injury, vic country representation, the ability of being spotted and drafted at the end of the year? From that perspective you can say he is driven and wants to succeed at all costs. If he goes against the coach at VFL level that's a totally different discussion!

Surely they wouldnt waste a Senior List spot on a kid with that question hanging over him.
Rookie draft wouldve been more apt if that was the case I would expect (junior watchers your thoughts).
Maybe the Saints were in his ear and telling him to just make himself less conspicuous so they could snatch him just one from outside the square as he was linked to them.
Interesting to see he promotes himself as a defender and models himself on Allir Allir who is a pretty handy and very disciplined campaigner for the Swans.
Quite possibly Craigo..just passing on a conversation and hopefully he has learnt from it if correct.
Like all our draftees I hope they all work out but the odds say it’s pretty bloody hard to even get to 50 games for most.
That is one man's opinion berwick boy and whilst you are only passing on what you heard I prefer to rely on the opinions of Biggie's school coach Darren Bewick and the Stingray and Vic Country coaches that our recruiting team spoke to, (refer Talking Tiger Podcast and interview with Matt Clarke), for character assessments.
Sounds like a good kid and from training looks like there is plenty to work with.
Pretty ordinary to plant the seed that a kid is soft from day 1.
Best you read the above ceaser. If we didn’t want anything discussed on here moving forward (good or bad) it would be a pretty dull place.
True, and I just wanted to jump to the defense of the kid so no harm no foul.
Attacking the poster for relaying a story is poor form Caesar, it maybe there were other factors but I hope that he is 100% focused on succeeding at Richmond.
I watched and played cricket against Billy. Very fast bowler. I once umpired a game when Billy took something like 9 for 2, the opposition made 10 in total.
Jeesh, must have been the Geelong defense coming in from the other end leaking like a seiv and conceding 8 runs!
Why try to escalate yandb?
Someone passed on a rumour, someone else said they thought it unfair to do that with a first year player ........
Then you single out an excellent contributor to this forum using words like attack ......
I miss Bullus Hit who was hounded off this forum .......
don't worry TigerMad yandb on my ignore list so don't see his posts anyway, and yeah certainly no attack.
I agree TM Caesar is an excellent contributor but does that mean that all his posts are sacrosanct.
Caesar called the poster pretty ordinary and yet you call me out for questioning the attack?????????????
1 incident. 1 outsider's opinion. I think we've had plenty of players come through the door in the past that didn't have that required killer instinct. And will have more in the future. Often you can't really tell until they've played against the big boys. It can be daunting. All players recruited need to be given the benefit of doubt.
