    So it is time to give him the flick.
    Really?

    Others have mentioned it, but are you taking the piss?

    Of course.

    I was there for his first game and he got over 20 possessions at CHB. Lots of marks. Very impressive.

    Not sure what he has been learning during the last two seasons.

    The best CHB’s in the game don’t average 20 possessions so I’m not sure why you’re expecting Young to do so.

    My comment was intended to indicate that Young did it 2 years ago, so with reasonable coaching we should be able to expect him to do it occasionally now.

    Out of interest do you go to VFL matches, because if you did you wouldn’t keep banging on about Young. When he shows the right form a does what the coaches expect him to then he will get his chance.

    Too true.

    Can you give some insight into what that might be? You and I know but a lot of others don’t.

    I can only guess like you, but from what I have seen his second efforts are lacking ( as was Schache but he has turned that around), he needs to be more aggressive in the contest and learn to use his body more, plus his decision making skills are not brilliant as he stops and props alot.

    As mentioned 100 times, he is only a kid at 20 years old and needs time to mature. Most talls do.
