Let's remember, Dougie Hamilton is currently leading our defence in points and is the second youngest out of them. He also leads his draft class in points for D. Defence take long to develop and I wouldn't write him off for at least a few years, unless something drastic happens. The team hasn't been good, and even Dougie hasn't looked good at times, but I've seen some progression in his game, by showing a more physical side to his game. It'll take some time to bring everything he has.
