I will cop it for this

Difference is menzie had a good year in 2023 and is someone who cracks in hard and trains hard from reports
Had a bad 2024 year but he did atleast show something last year which is why i believe they were willing to give him another year

I don’t think that’s a bad take. I’d add that we don’t have a plethora of senior small forwards, so he’s handy depth.

I thought D'Ambrosio said it had more to do with opportunity. Mitchell made it clear he wanted to put him first cab off the rank in a senior wing or halfback role.

His last interview said it was about security as well. Hawks sold him the vision and longer contract. We sat back thinking he would just sign. Maybe if we played him more then yes he stays but going on the last interview he probably would have if it was two years from the beginning. And it was not half back they sold him on. He did not really want to play half back. He played 80% wing and 20% half forward.

It was going to be hard for Dodoros team to offer a multiple year contract to a player that's playing reserves.

They did in the end so despite him playing VFL they still wanted him. They just let it slide too long.

And that’s keeping Hep on the list for a couple of years to long, he didn’t bring enough, wasn’t a key position player offering protection, stopped others getting opportunities and just blocked development

He is still young enough if he has the desire.

His name won't get him on a list now but will ensure eyes are cast in his direction.

Lots of work in front of him if he wants to make a go of it.

Harry Jones, Zach Reid, Ben Hobbs, Nik Cox...

Imagine the scrutiny on these guys if they were father son selections. We keep plenty of guys around too long.

And if Jayden was not the son of one of your all time favorites you would not give a toss.

He didn't want it enough Hank. It happens.

The same could be said for Archie Perkins. But there were never voices calling for him to go a season into senior footy. The whole "wouldn't be on the list" tripe that is lazily parroted is what I'm melting about.

Jayden was 1000000km behind Perkins as far as preparation and even effort in games.

Davey showed up to pre-season in poor shape both of his years on the list and had to start from a fair way back. His professionalism and ability were rightfully questioned and as result he is no longer on the list.

He is not comparable with Massimo or Archie I don’t think. Probably more comparable with Yestin Eades or Noah Gawn

Did anyone even bid on Jayden at the draft?

it doesn’t matter, we needed them both to get the good one in the door, just like we had to commit to Zach to land Jackson Merrett

He did start from further back. Just makes the lack of time he was given all the more perplexing.

There was very little noise made on Eades, and I don't think anyone has ever had anything to say about Gawn. But if you're a father son selection at this club supporters are on your back from day one. Even Jobe copped it after his first game.

If you tell a bloke he needs to pull his socks up or he’s probably going to get delisted and he continues to take an unprofessional approach how much more time is it worth giving him? There’s no point keeping a project player who isn’t willing to commit to the project
