List Mgmt. Welcome Reuben Ginbey (Pick 9, 2022 National Draft)

[ROYAL EAGLE]

Hurn was an excellent kick, Jetta one of the best field kicks for vision, penetration and placement of the modern era.

Yeo, Ginbey et al are average kicks for AFL level players when the direction of the game is headed towards needing multiple top tier kicks, particularly those with run and carry from defence to outside midfield. If you can get overhead marking, leading to space and run and carry out of these sorts of players then you have an elite platform to move the ball from defence to inside 50 as quickly as possible.

That's why Finn O'Sullivan will go number 1 if he can get his numbers up in regards to getting the ball.

We need a total of 6 very good to elite kicks from defence to forward 50 in the next generation side. I would suggest we currently have 1 in Maric with the development of Burgiel, Hewett and Reid determining if that number is higher.

Like I said in a earlier post Ginbey kicking action is fine, his problem is like Clayton Oliver's in his early years
He needs to learn to take that half a second longer to compose himself that will come with more time in the middle
and another preseason
He can be a elite kick and showed this as a junior

Ginbey combines mid-tier talent with an exceptional athletic framework, positioning him well to leverage his defensive skills while maintaining a robust two-way game, both attacking and defending. Unlike players like Dangerfield, Ginbey is more reminiscent of an enhanced version of Stenglein and Chick. His playing style is particularly advantageous for exploiting matchups, using his physical prowess to match any opponent and then capitalizing on these opportunities. This approach is akin to elite ruckmen who thrive as the sole ruck, navigating through midfield and forward positions to outmaneuver the opposition, yet not necessarily suited to full-time roles in these areas.

One of the absolute keys to our long term success.

He is the Barrass to McGovern, he is the Darling to Kennedy

For offensive strategies, Long, Hewitt, and Reid stand out as key attacking options.

Very well said.

Ginbey is progressing nicely. Fulfills 70 percent of his physical potential he’s a match winner
