Yeah and so often with these players they hit a decent run of form and/or games then get called up to the olyroos and lose their positon at their club and have to come back and fight their way back in from the bench or NYL (if they are lucky enough to have that happen between the end of Nov and Jan).He's also one of a half dozen players that had injury/illness interrupted preseasons (or in the first few games). It's no surprise to me that all of these players have had underwhelming seasons and some have only just started to play some decent football. The reasons for that might be because being more senior they were given games even though they were underdone and have built some fitness and form which hasn't been afforded to the younger Mells so it does link to what you're saying.He's a symptom of the non-existent youth development system in Australia. The guy would be lucky to have played 15 games at differing levels this season.What happened to Mells? He was looking promising last year however seems to have dropped off the radar.
