I had been seriously considering Ledger during the preseason but was a little concerned about his TOG.

This quote from afl.com.au made my decision to exclude him easier!

"I've just tried to build an endurance base because naturally I don't have that going across the ground. I can play in bursts but to be a top-line AFL midfielder you've got to run 14-15 kms a game. To get to that level I've got a long way to go."

FFS, i just put him in this morning. There were some pros and cons in that article. he is looking like getting games and has obviously been working on his fitness base... buuut says he isn't quite there yet. i guess as a young midfielder he'll be playing in bursts anyway

To balance his vestings, he has great scoring capacity. I think if you can keep him on the bench until he gets consistent gametime then he will be a great cash cow.

agree with mezzoculo, i'm keeping Ledger because the kid is a freak, he'll build up endurance
