I wouldn't say he is shit, but he will want to get better over the next couple of years, or the Cats wont be able to justify having in the 1sts with Tommy Hawkins rotting in the 2nds.
Also, Patrick Bowden had a shit year this year, and 2 decent years before that... for Richmond. His 4 years before that for the Doggies were terrible as well.
Hes not shit but a month ago he wasnt great, but he finally seems to be holding marks the last few weeks. If he can keep doing that he should keep the tomahawk out and keep his place. Next year he will be fitter and stronger and can only improve.
