No, he’s played a qtr in defence and he said inside mid. Besides, Nicks has options now but he’s an idiot

No, we have plenty of defensive options to release Dawson.
The plans for Brown are as an inside midfielder.

Good luck to him, but he's pretty much a Hately clone who isn't in our best 22 anyway. An odd pick, but at least it didn't cost us anything.

A bigger deal out west.
Probably not. This one seems more along the lines of us throwing another dart at a bigger mid then any geniune, long term, plan.
Hamill or Milera might be the great hope for releasing Dawson into a luxury position. That said, I can't say I feel all that confident on anyone competing for a HBF spot at the moment. Outside of Parnell, but he's locked down a back pocket role.

Berry was wearing #21 at training today at Richmond oval. Brown was wearing #3- yep, Fisher Macs old number- hope that's not an omen

Not that Hateley has a spot but they are the two competitions for a role. The others are all different and better

Hately had a pretty good run at it towards the end of last year and didn't nail it. Lacked penetration with his kicking at times.
I wouldn't say O'Connor had class either.
I dunno, look at his write up. It reads nothing like Hately and O'Connor except the height.

If he can't make it Adelaide, he won't make it anywhere.

Don't know much about him but from those highlights it at least looks like he's a 2 way runner, can kick and looks composed. That's an advantage over a lot of our mids.
Hasn't cost us anything so is basically a free hit that has addressed one of our issues. Still leaves me scratching my head regarding our KPD though.

The KPD area is something I wouldn't be surprised if we wait until the MSD for. Give Butts, Murray, Worrell, Doedee, Borlase etc the opportunities as tall defenders and then work out if it is still an area we want more depth in.

He's kicked more goals in that package than McHenry has in his career.

Jeez you can see why we would've liked him from those highlights. Works hard, chases and tackles with intent. Nicks loves that. Seems acceptably quick and has a good leap. Seems adept up forward too, we seem to be into mids that can do both. Good kick.
Hopefully he also has a good tank.
I think we recruited him as he covers a few bases. At minimum he's been in the system a while and so doesn't take us backwards on our already young/inexperienced/not many pre-seasons group. He should be able to provide cover in SANFL and AFL and not make us worse. Replaces Seed about as cheap as we can do it.
On the upside, might be the big mid we're looking for, that might be a strength of his that he never got to showcase at the Pies. Sounds like he's been held back for various reasons at the Pies. I also think McCrae is very much fit in or goodbye and doesn't have much tolerance for people not fitting in, as in not coaching around that in the moment (mummying them if you like) nor for keeping them on the list. Hope that lack of patience and tolerance might be gold for us, it won't be the first son of a pies great we've got a lot out of after Collingwood rejected them.
I said the same about Keays when we selected him

What about Gibson and Crocker?I said the same about Keays when we selected him
Look I hope I’m wrong and he’s developed an ability to win the ball and has a great career for us.
Interestingly we told him we might pick him up as a rookie but didn’t, we also told Turner the same thing so we must have planned on 2 further list changes which didn’t eventuate, I’d say McAsey and Crouch not finding homes screwed us.
We obviously preferred Dowling and Bond to Brown, whilst a couple of years away for them, is the intention Brown plays midfield before:
Laird, Keays, Schoenberg, Soligo, Sloane, Pedlar, Taylor, Rachelle, Rankine, Dowling and Bond? Or is he just depth?
Golumless
A bigger deal out west.
At this point Brown is probably is just depth with a low % of being something more.
Still, it's a long season and if he gets hot in the SANFL, you'd imagine opportunities would open themselves up pretty quickly. After all, Brown does offer a point of difference.
