alas - still John James has missed out - 18 months ago he was perhaps the one most likely with his QAFL rising star nomination and all.

He seems to have disappeared off the radar??

Yeah looks like he'll miss out on any association with an AFL club this year, however I believe there are moves afoot to try to align him with another high profile AFLQ side to keep developing him.

Even when some of these guys start to break through all the way to being AFL stars, there's definitely going to be plenty of disappointments along the way too, just as there are for all players aspiring to the AFL. Remember Alestar Sioni, he was PNG's brightest young hope at one stage a couple of years back, just like John James after him, but he seems to not quite have made it. Just as long as the kids have realistic expectations and still gain good things from the journey and have a good footy environment to go back to and be part of when they return to PNG.
