Recruiting Trade & Free Agency VII

[Lore]

We can't trade our first without bringing another first in.

 

[11kgm]

I am so over this club we have Clarke/Hibberd who show good signs when playing inside whats the point in bringing sier in

 

[andleanback]

Ahead of who already plays midfield minutes? Ahead of Parish who struggles to get minutes? I don’t see it.

There’s obviously a reason he consistently gets overlooked at selection. I don’t see the point in recruiting a depth player to be depth.

Well we are obviously going to change up our rotation at the end of year. We need a bigger body starting in there. Smith should get his minutes reduced.

 

[MAAAATTDAAAAMON]

Can anyone tell me about the prospects of Tex Wanganeen and the Davey twins? When will they be available for the draft? How highly are they rated? All small forwards or...?

2021 draft

Lyons was also overlooked by GC, wouldn’t read too much into that.

Parish is kept out of the midfield by McGrath, Shiel and Merrett because the four of them are broadly similar. We don't really have anybody in the 22 that does the role which Brodie plays.

At the Suns, Brodie is behind Swallow, Greenwood and probably Bowes. Swallow is perennially underrated, Greenwood is top 6 in the comp for clearances and Bowes would probably get a game for us too.

Could do a lot worse than burn a pick in this years draft on Brodie IMO.

I don’t understand how we struggle to rotate four blokes when top sides move 7-8 through with ease.

How can the Dogs have Bont Macrae Dunkley Hunter Smith and Libba run through the midfield effectively and it never seems like one is forced onto a flank where they can't contribute?

Seems we have 3 mids who can have a good game and that's it then all our other guys just sit on the outside and struggle to get involved?

GWS:
Whitfield, Coniglio, Taranto, Kelly and Hopper. Caldwell and O'Halloran with limited minutes in the middle, but able to play there nonetheless.

We have Shiel, Parish, Merrett and McGrath really. Shiel is tagged most of the time, essentially leaving us with the other 3.

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Tex is for 2021.

Davey twins for 2022.

Everything seems really hard for us

Hunter is basically a full time winger, Bont and Dunkley do spend about 30% of their game forward, plus they pushed Wallis into being a pretty much permanent FP as well as McLean being a flanker despite him being a really good midfielder.

 

[OsteitisPubis22]

We are not in any position, to be trading away early picks.
We aren’t a contender! We are still a middle of the road team.
Anyone that wants out..... let em go! Dont care how good they are!
The few positives our club has atm is the youth coming through. Keep em coming. We haven’t used the draft well for years! It’s reflective of where we are at.

So they make it work, we can't seem to get any semblance of a structured system, who's fault is it coaches or players?

Yep. But Hunter would be a winger in our system too, it's his best position

 

[11kgm]

Watching Dixon crash packs and hurt players makes me wish we had someone like him

Josh Battle St Kilda

Just re-signed for 2 years at St Kilda.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Just checked the centre bounces last night. There was 20. So 60 starting midfielders

Shiel 17
McGrath 15
Tipungwuti 11
Smith 11
Merrett 4
Parish 2

So there’s our mix. Guys getting squeezed out and can’t get into the centre clearances? That’s because Tippa and Smith are in there a lot.

That’s what to remember I guess when Hibberd can’t get a game in the middle. Or when Parish leaves the club to play in the middle elsewhere.

How does that compare to previous weeks? I have a feeling that they swap around week to week. Walla also seems to end up there late in games when he's not having a lot of impact forward.

Not sure about previous weeks. Walla was in right throughout the game, pretty even across the quarters. Think he started in there actually.

Devon smith is too much of a liablity in there, and Tippa is only there because he is doing * all up forward

 

[Zach Package]

Devon smith is too much of a liablity in there, and Tippa is only there because he is doing fu** all up forward

He goes in there because the midfield dies in the arse and they put him in there to ‘work his magic’

Both are no good. Hibberd a toiler, Clarke can’t kick. Neither solve our problems and situation inside the contest.
