I like this... Ready made depth for the back 6. I have no concerns with our backline depth now.

 

[Catsnlakers]

Good luck Tom and welcome ( back ) Glad we have drafted locally.

 

[Stan The Caddy]

An ok selection could have got later

You don't know this. **** off!

 

[Cursed Cat]

Ian

Patrick?

Alf.

 

[Cursed Cat]

This guy is ready to go round 1 if required. Better than Ruggles from what I have seen of both.

MC will love our back-line even more now!

Henderson, Taylor, Lonergan, Kolodjashnij, Stewart, Mackie... the height

 

[David the Cat]

Well I haven't seen much of this guy....but his video shows he can take a mark and most importantly....can deliver the football off both sides.

Looks composed as well.....a half back who can deliver by foot....hallelujah ...looks a good pick up ....

Dan.. Stewart does not really group well with those names. He is 190cm

I was kidding mate

I was kidding mate

He does play tall ...just not that tall.

 

[fishman]

Very happy with this pick - he could play round 1 next year if his shoulder is fixed. You'd assume he could even release Henderson forward and be that intercept mark.

I think he's a bit like Scarlet post 2007. No comment about talent but in terms of versatility and ability to play small/tall. Scarlett was no longer a genuine KPP by then.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Big fan of Stewart. Beautiful kick. Has that Scarlo skill of knowing the right time to attack,

Yeah and how Scarlett morphed into more of a rebound role, cross between that and Mackie at his peak are Stewart's type of role.

I get the feeling the cats shop is going to make a lot of merch money out of stewart's family and friends.

And hopefully we rookie draft the kid on the far right in the white t shirt.

Who are you referring to?

Not much of Stewart playing lock down on a bigger body in the video clip. He did that a few times - does it like Kolo. Great closing speed and uses very long arms (checkem out) to kill the ball.

Now the club have picked him around 40 I am confident they will use him early at AFL level - NAB cup, and maybe beyond.

That's weird as I have seen him play several times and he looks much different to that photo-I suppose photos are deceiving with us all . Good player though.

 

[Farmer2Goggin]

The older brigade might have gone with Jimmy...

Go Catters

Or Jackie

 

[catswhiskers]

So what type of player us he? Intercept defender? Lock down type? Running type?

Also we can't fit 9 guys in the back 6.

That video clip showed two phases of his game well.

The main one being the half back "general" type. Good decisions, good pace, good disposal, can mark, good in traffic. The second was shown once in the game in poor lights. it shows him up higher and attacking and kicking a goal from 45 -easily. In another game late in season v Casey he did this more and kicked two great goals. He can kick long and accurate on the run. The third wasn't shown much. Lockdown defender, early in season, he showed he was able to close and destroy high balls coming in and didn't mind hitting a body on the way to the ball.

I know I am usually optimistic but I do say he is versatile. Flexible.

I feel like he gives us so many more options as to how we set up in the future. Not only does he provide depth incase of injuries but his inclusion will also allow us to go a bit smaller down back if we want to. It also allows us to play Hendo or Taylor forward if that's where one of them is required so his inclusion could very well have a positive domino effect on how we set up all over the ground. As has already been pointed out in this thread it could also allow someone like Thurlow to spend some time on a wing which could only benefit our delivery going I50 which was a massive concern for us last season.
