As for confidence, being dropped can only do the kid good as a learning experience - he needs to know the lows and how to fight for his position. BK was dropped as previous player of the year through no real fault of his own - and has been through much worse than Birraz.
That was probably GVE's reasoning when he dropped Goodwin last season. Look what's happened since.
