To suggest that AJ might have caught the bouquet is offensive in the extreme.
When, in his Australian tenure, has he ever shown any aptitude for catching anything? To suggest that Joyce is capable of even that basic dexterity is to insult anyone who has performed at better than cripple level in any physical endeavour thus far devised.
I hear from Trinity College educators that AJ showed the same attributes that he displays intellectually: flailing, grasping, ultimately ineffectual. A failure, both conceptually and actually. Dewey-eyed prefect bait, then and now.
