I just assumed he was one of those handy VFL types that are great for player development but if that was the case wouldn't he be off the main list?
would have thought specialist coaches are there for player development :0
Cheap depth. Probably got more to offer us than pick #50-something in the rookie draft.
You know what I mean guys that can show the younger guys the ropes how to train how to play etc.
i thought we had the greatest recruiter in the galaxy.
And he picked Sheringham.
He was playing pretty much in front of us in the first quarter of the QF too and he never looked like he was going to be able to lead into space and when the ball did come in he blew a few chances. He seemed overwhelmed.
However, I don't like judging by one or two games and as he only played four (?) this year, I'll just hope for the best from him next year.
It's hard to make any call on Kersten until we see if he can do it with the big boys in the big time to make the comparison. He wasn't that great in the VFL GF was he?
Or will ever be VC. Sorry! Couldn't resist.Kersten isn't the pods replacement. Vardy is.
In fact I'm not what Kersten is yet. But he going to be good.
Kersten doesn't look to leap like Pods.
But I would definitely say he has pods covered at ground level.
Pods sometimes looked over awed with decision making and agility up the wing when the ball was at ground level. I think that scenario is one of Kerstens assets.
Few interesting delistings around the place. I wonder if we'd be interested in any of the following, even if it is just for a spot on the rookie list:
Aaron Cornelius - my cousins are Brisbane fans, and were staggered he didn't get more games. Could be a good 3rd tall, a la Gunston at Hawthorn.
Aaron Joseph - could never have enough taggers. I remember him doing a good job on Gaz in the NAB Cup a few years back too. Still only 24 too.
Maverick Weller
Sam Darley
Andrew Boseley - tall defender who had a battle with injury at the Hawks. Is only 21 and a former Falcon to boot.
Thomas Couch - tore it up regularly at Casey in the VFL. Didn't get much of a chance in the AFL though.
James Magner

Remember Gysberts cutting it up against us a few years back. However, it's the second time he's been flicked. Perhaps worth a look if we could encourage him to run around in the twos to see if we can make something of him.I think it's worth having a look at a few of them. Even Gysberts. You've got to remember they were "developed" by the likes of Melbourne FC.

Always thought below the knees and quick hands made Pods multi dimensional compared to a Vardy or Hawkins, Kersten has made a few tackles stick in the two's, but it's a bit quicker playing with the big boys.
In retrospect I think Pods had pretty good tackle numbers this year, on the other hand, Kersten just needs to show he can get the ball to begin with.
Those delistings above, Arron Cornelius, thought he had big potential a couple of years ago.
And I hate to fall into this camp but he's a decent size: 190cm 81kg.
Did the job on Ablett on more than one occasion as well as a few other good players,was one of the best taggers going around a couple of years back,I wonder where his heads at can play.Few interesting delistings around the place.
