Green Vest


Profile

Young must be getting pretty tired of the green vest by now, having copped it for about half of his career games. He has proven to be a successful sub which hasn't helped his cause, often collecting a good chunk of possessions in a short amount of time whereas his full game performances have been up and down. The potential for him to be a decent pick obviously rests on the hope that he can shake off the vest in 2015, his unsubbed average was 61.1 which would result in a semi decent price rise but you'd want to see more than that to be happy. He will also have Andrew Moore to contend with, who played the last 8 games of the season and could hold Young out of the side. He might be set for a breakout year and will be cheap but it would be very difficult to pick him.

Pros - Heavily sub affected average

Cons - Highest career score is 80, potential for more vests

Main concern is who comes out of the Port starting side for him to get regular full games.

Obviously got talent, just needs to be given a bit more opportunity. Did some good things in the SANFL grand final the other day.

Would be competing with someone like Jake Neade for a starting spot you would think.

That is a lot of vests! Probably not completely settled in the lineup yet, so not on my radar.

Yep agreed. Needs consistent games before he gets a look in.
