CHAMPION Hawthorn midfielder Sam Mitchell has tempered expectations about Dayle Garlett, the gifted but wayward West Australian midfielder drafted by the Hawks last November.
"He's got a lot to learn," Mitchell noted.
"With some of his footy stuff you just think, wow. And so much of how he plays comes naturally to him.
"He will be a good player, but he has a lot to learn about professionalism, lifestyle, game-plan and defensive actions.
"His good is very, very good. His bad just needs to get a bit better before he's ready for AFL footy," he said.
I like to hear that make sure he has to earn his spot through hard work at box hill rather than gifting him a spot which will inflate his ego and may be not as encouraging to him to work hard.

Those are exactly my thoughts.
