We may be doing a similar thing to Collingwood did with the Clokes and waiting until we sign the youngest brother before we trade off the older one.

Minson while inconsistent had shown some potential during the 2006-2008 seasons playing the 2nd ruck/forward role. At the end of 2008 Minson was the same age Cordy is now. We talk about how long it took Minson to get there, Cordy is a long way further back than he was.
Unless I am mistaken Will had far less time lost in his formative seasons than Ayce has had, so a fair comparison might be to Will's first couple of seasons.
I think our biggest problem here is people seem to be addicted to instant gratification.
Not saying Ayce making it is a given, but I would not be giving up on the lad yet. Better judges who know him far better than we do [ coaches etc.] have not given up on him. And if we think J Grant has turned the corner, well 6 months back, he seemed a lot further back than Ayce.
Keep the faith a little longer. Lets see where he is at at the end of season 2014, we should have a better idea by then.
By he end of the 08 season Will had shown some ability. When was that game against Brisbane? where he just keep feeding Cooney in the last qtr?
Did Foster nominate or did we simply chose not to F/S him
In some exciting news for the future, we have a potential father son in...Jake Stringer.
His girlfriend announced she is pregnant on Instagram.
Will be the making of him. Instant maturity in my experience. Makes you want to be a better person in every way. ( if it doesn't drive you mad from sleep depravation of course)
That's not to say Jake is not a quality fella already as he clearly passed the Macca test.
