Lewis Young one of those players you know has something but you just can’t pin point why it doesn’t work.
So much potential, but it just doesn’t come to the fore. Even when he was thrust into different positions you got the same result.
Not a bad footballer , not a great footballer but why he never made the average 100-150 game player is a wonder with what he seemed to show at times.
I loved what I saw him do when he was just starting.Bring back the biffComment

Jose Romero selling a local apartment hotel for $15,000,000. Seems to be doing ok after footy.

Although I would not have wanted him to have a good game, geez Stringer disappoints. I was so excited when he first started his career with us I thought he could be anything.Comment

Re: Following our ex's...................
When he plays well for a month next year, I wonder if they offer another generous contract? Surely they’re now wise to this.
I will always remember a function in Bendigo where the main speaker was coach BMAC and Jake was there. BMAC saying on just talent, he was THE MOST talented players he’d ever coached ever (that includes GAJ, Stevie J etc). Then he said looking at Jake but that’s not the issues is it, what do we always talk about. Jake told the room “work rate”. BMAC confirmed that.
The next year he was AA.
But clearly Bevo and a very long line of Essendon coaches haven’t been able to stop him from being lazy. It doesn’t look like he trains the hardest and he doesn’t work hard enough in games. It feels like he almost doesn’t care about the fact that high work rate made his career early. I think he goes down in history as barely even mentioned or remembered, and if there’s anything it’s what a god damn waste of talent he is and one of (weirdly) highly disappointing 200 game players ever. A cautionary tale to young guns with ego everywhere. Ego is not a dirty word, but you have to back it up with deeds.
Unfortunately for him, when he does play well next year going for another contract I think Essendon will be on to him (along with 17 other clubs) and best case Essendon keep him on short and cheap deals until he retires.
Just a waste and shame all round.Rocket Science: the epitaph for the Beveridge era - whenever it ends - reading 'Here lies a team that could beat anyone on its day, but seldom did when it mattered most'. 15/7/2023Comment

Re: Following our ex's...................
I’ve always said he just doesn’t have a tank it’s tiny. He can’t even try and get fit without blowing up. If he just looks at food he blows up.
It’s sad the talent he has but his track record seems to suggest he has tiny lungs .
He might be lazy as well which also adds to the problem, but with that many coaches and still gets games when not fit tells me something isn’t right. Some of those coaches would surely have pushed being fit .Bring back the biffComment
