I would've picked Mikey in the first round of that draft - but maybe that's just the way I see footy talent. No doubt had I done so, everyone would now agree with my assessment.
Harley Balic is like a Ford Escort van - could be a real show stopper, but left in the driveway too long and the frame will rust out on you. Sure, you parted with decent bucks for it, but if your only offer at the auction is $100 you got to admit that that's what it's worth. You got to sell it, it'll rust sitting in the drive - but that $100 isn't going to get you something better.
Good luck to him, hope it all works out.
