Obviously last chance for him next year to show he can make it.
Needs a big pre season & get himself super fit will be the starting point.

I could beat him around the tan and I am 63
Still run 18 mins a lap
This is the bloke who was told in his exit interview he needed to return to pre season training in better condition...
This is also the bloke that did a hamstring (2nd in 2023) in Rd 24 27 August 2023
FFS
We thought the same about Syd every year he turned up out of shape too
No reason to turn up to pre season fat.
Plenty he could have done post recovery from his hammie to at least keep in shape (swimming, cycling, diet). I love what he could be capable of but he doesn't have the professionalism be an AFL athlete (IMHO)
LOL, Youve determined he is fat & lacks professionalism from a photo ?
BTW, ever done a hamstring & then tried to ride a treadly ?
Its hard enough riding a *smile* Harley after doing one
Try driving an hour home in a manual car after tearing your left hammy. Agony.
Soft. 10 x 10’s at the bar after I did mine.
Ok, anaesthetic effect granted, but still had to stand for 60 minutes.
Some players just don't improve their endurance very much no matter how hard they train. Can't remember Maurice snr being lauded for his endurance. Many of these indigenous boys have fast twitch fibres for agility and speed, not endurance. Is our modern game of repeat runs up and down the ground squeezing them out?
I broke my leg playing soccer (didn’t know at the time) and drove 30 minutes home.
After being in pain that night my wife drove me to Knox Private. They took the x Rays and gave me the all clear.
24 hours later they rang me to let me know they missed the crack in my tibia. Next minute I was in a moon boot for 8 weeks!
Had a similar experience during a game, sharp stabbing pain in lower leg, couldn’t put weight on it without excruciating pain. Came off the ground before half time. Trainer diagnosed torn ankle ligaments and put a heat lamp on it. Walked on it for 2 days, so sore I booked in to see a physio on the Monday evening (Barry Gavin ex Hawthorn physio). He had a look at it and said “fractured fibula” get xrays tomorrow. He was right, 6 weeks in a cast.
I chipped a bone in my ankle in grade 4 at afternoon recess. Teacher told me not to take my shoe off or it would swell (more). No ice or any treatment at all.
Went to ride my bike home but trying to push the pedal was too painful. Walked home (pushing the bike), mostly uphill, about 2km.
Similar to you, I was in bed before parents were able to get me in for an X-ray that night.
Spent the next four weeks on crutches. I had never been so frustrated. One of my friends who wasn't the sporty type said he'd love to have a broken ankle to get out of P.E. and I seriously considered giving him one.
