Moir has an upside, and obvious AFL level tricks, we shouldn't be burdening him with too many negatives so early in his career.

This time next year would be the time to be more critical.

The U23 category is interesting, because it basically sits on the boundary of who will and who won't.

At 21 it's too early to write many players off, and by the time players are 25 you know if they are going to make it or not. I realise there will be some claim they told us so, "they knew" back when a player was 18 or 20, but that news always arrives retrospectively.

Agreed. It's why I don't understand Binns' delisting.

Moir reminds me very much of Troy Menzel.

Their cameos look great but like many players of this mould they struggle to add more strings to their bow and can be a bit pigeon holed - maybe they just don't work as hard as they should as their glimpses of brilliance gets them brownie points other less flashy players are not afforded 

As a fan i get very excited with these sorts but have been disappointed more times as only a few go on to play long careers.

Time will tell.

I fear you’re right but obviously hope he can develop into a solid contributor.

The fact he hasnt made himself back onto an AFL list is probably the tell that everyone had a similar opinion of him.

Divided?  One audience was around 3% of the other!

Apparently, Bad Bunny is a descendant of the conquistador Ponce de Leon and his family history in America goes back 100 years before the Mayflower.
