TOPIC:

Failed to get picked up in the National Draft. Would of been a certain top 20 pick if not for his indiscretions earlier this year. Should get a go in the pre-season draft, you'd think. The kid can play, no doubt that, will anyone take a chance with him and change his ways? If not, Swans will gladly keep him around.

Pretty disgraceful the article and pic on the back of the West today though, real groundbreaking journalism from Duffield again..NOT! He is a disgrace to his profession..im glad he will be with us and he will get another go if he knuckles down and dominates the comp next year

The kid posted that pic of himself on Instagram mate! Pretty stupid! And I believe has not been at training either? Perhaps got a wee bit ahead of himself.... hopefully lesson learned and he knuckles down at the Ducks.

S'dog,

Who is at fault the writer (can't call him a journo) or the kid for being a muppet.

Seems like the behaviour is the issue not the fact that it was reported. Where was the control, the discipline and the desire to play at a higher level, seems to me that he just stopped caring or started to think he was beyond the rest of the draftees.

maybe he should have ordered drugs over the phone or forged a prescription - that would have made him a hero at West Coast..

biggest beat up going around by the worst paper going around..

I want to know when that pic was taken? Yeh it was dumb to post himself, but why should the Worst highlight it and play God with a players career? Footy journalism died a long time ago eg when Geoff Christian passed on

Yeh good call

invited to train with Essendon, hope he takes the offer and makes the most of his 2nd chance..

I have to agree with this opinion....
Just saw his interview on the TV
Seems to me even at his young age he has an opinion of himself overinflated and not yet deserved

Maybe more time earning it and less time being told you deserve it might make a difference
time will tell on this one - but I suspect a rocky road ahead...

Garlett will be a monty for a rookie contract I reckon.....safest way of taking the kid on for little cost and easier to delist after a year if he doesn't buck his off field game up.

What's the deal with Luke Adams?.....no one likes to see any one hurt for no apparent reason, but it sounds like the kid didn't do himself any favours that night....hard lesson to learn I reckon....is he any chance of playing footy again?
