Only at Richmond does a bloke dominate in the ressies for so long only to be overlooked. Once his form drops off in the ressies they decide to push him up to the level of AFL and funnily enough he fails. When Mcbean was kicking 4-5 goals a week for an extended period i would have thought that would have been the best time to promote. You know, when a players confidence is at its peak. :
Maybe he was never going to make it but i think the way he was handled and developed had more to do with it. At Richmond you need to be an elite talent to actually go on and make it proper. Don't expect any help along the way.
