NICK SUBAN: What would you demand?

[freoextra]

I like Suban and what he brings to the team both on and off the field.

Yes he is a fringe player like DeBoer (this year) but I think there is another position in the team that he could be best 22 (reckon DeBoer is working on some explosives for Crowley's car!). In my view, we have learned that he is not a high possession midfielder or high half forward, so what about deep in the backline. Really like the depth of his clearing kick over some others.

He is contracted and can be best 22.

Duffield's spot possibly. Duffield probably only has another year or 2 left in him.

Or if Spurr's form continues to be a concern (i.e. leakage of goals)

 

[pokerspiv]

I doubt Suban could play as a lockdown small defender. But he could play as the distributor (Duffield's role).

 

[jedi mind tricks]

I wonder who will pick up the young man

 

[passmark]

Someone will.

Plenty worse running around.

 

[purplerunsdeep]

My buddy from a few years ago.. sad to see him go, early talk had him to be something more.

All the best Nick

Somebody will pick him up , he is only 28 next year , might want a 2 years contract where Freo can only offer one , Freo might even pick him again with their last rookie pick if no taker.

 

[Freofalcon]

Had the news on in the background.

Thought I heard mention of him going to Claremont.

 

[armpit]

Interesting thread in retrospect. We're starting to see the team that made the run disappear. They were all characters. Miss seeing angry armed Suban.

Nah, zero chance of him being here next year. We didn't even offer him a minimum wage 1 year deal.

Might get picked up as a DFA by a team like the Suns though.

****!!! You mean we could have traded for pick #19?

 

[Joao]

Pick 2 IMO.

Hi.

Blues fan here nursing a bruised ego after a complete smashing at the hands of a hard tackling, fast running and good kicking team last night.

It's pretty clear players who can work in close, then spread and can kick well are in high demand.

Nick Suban meets the criteria but doesn't seem to be ale to cement a spot in your first 22, which speaks volumes for the quality of player you have. Your fringe players are guys like Suban, ours are guys like Ellard (hard worker but limited).

So, and this is a genuine question, what do you think would be fair compensation for a trade for Suban?

A refund

Piss off. 2 1st rounders

His age isn't really the issue as much as the fact that he's just not very good.

I stand corrected.

I was in my shop serving Adam McPhee way back when first year back from Essendon, Got chatting about things Freo, He rated Suban very highly maybe Subes first year as well (stand corrected). Adam was very impressed with his work ethic , Attitude and tank ,just running machine as described by him , But he turned out to be no champion and just a honest footballer , Because one description not used supremely skilful , Cool under pressure , Great decision maker , That is the sort of player we need , Please no more honest workhorses in this draft , i am over it

The very same Adam McPhee that once grabbed Suban by the scruff of the neck and gave him an absolute bake on field for not chasing a ball all the way across the boundary line.

Very fast learner was Subes

Suban made the under 18's All Australian team twice - firstly as an underage player and then in his draft year. With that form he was only taken in the early 20's in the draft which might be an indication that he was ready to mix it physically in his first year of AFL but maybe long term the upside wasn't going to be there. It could be why we see him play in a way where he thinks he can bust out of a pack of players.

Subes, Deluca and Greg Broughton off to play for West Perth due to Subiaco not having the bar takings and 500 seats to on-sell at the new stadium.

Suban playing for South Freo i thought?

 

[IAMJUNGLEMUFFIN]

Good to see he's gone to a real club.

Add a few Sandovers to his Brownlow collection.
