It's related to where the club see them fit in. Actions speak louder than words and we just went out of our way to trade players to fill in the spots that Kersten, Vardy, Walker, Brown are all vying for.
Even paying overs for Stanley.
Clark fills CHF and I think Stanley will be 3rd tall/ruck. Given the club like to play Blitz, I just can't see how they fit in the puzzle now.
When it was just Clark, I thought Kersten would be best for a 3rd tall, but Stanley comes in and can fill that role, rotating with Hmac/Simpson.
After pre-season games I think that the club will just go with the 22 best players that fit the team balance.
There is always the VFL for those that do not fit that balance or perform up to expectations. The same goes for players that do not fit that expectation and later find themselves in the VFL further on into the year. Kind of like how players such as Wojcinski, Byrnes and Mooney found themselves playing out their final season.
