Tell that to Graeme Wright who tried to get CC to Hawthorn last year.
Not our problem.
However we do have a problem with not winning enough contested ball at stoppages and clearances in general.
CC may not be the answer, however if we don't improve in that part of our game in 2021... expect similar results and ladder finish.
A fit Yeo will help in this area ,but he cant do it all alone, we are going to need help from somewhere in this aspect of the game.

Would actually prefer Brodie though TBH. Wells the POS would ask for Naitanui in return.

I suspect it's because these big bodied mids are considered too inflexible to play the flanker roles their coaches want them to play and so can't guarantee the player they will get the game time they demand.
One thing that sets Constable apart from the Colledge/Allen comparison is that he can quite clearly find the footy, even when he's being forced to play HBF, which is something that none of our young mids have been able to do since Sheed basically.
Constable has only averaged 66% game time across the 9 games he's played, but has still averaged almost 21 disposals a game. Scale that up to the ~75% game time that guys like Ainsworth have averaged, and he Constable's stats look more like 24 disposals, 10 contested possessions, 4 tackles per game. It's only a nine game sample size, but clearly he can get the footy. He was also getting 30+ touches a game in his first year in the VFL.
Not a superstar and wouldn't pay more than a late second rounder but he would have to be a better option than Ainsworth based purely on stats alone.
It's moot anyway as he'll be offered spots at other Vic clubs so hard to see why he would consider coming to WC.

As much as that would be great, it will never happen.
Constable could replace Redden ( 30 this year and not getting younger)

Constable could replace Marsden on a wing ( 31 this year and playing for Perth)
We were 4th/5th best in the league (tie for 4th @ average 31.7 per game) for clearances. The quality of our clearances (hack kicks around the corner) was a definite concern - but we don't have an issue in winning the clearances so much.
We were 15th for contested possessions (average 114.6 - hawks were last at 110 - leader was port at 126. Funnily/strangely Richmond were just above us at 116).
Contested possessions have been an issue for a while (noting that we were also the leading contested mark team - and they show up as CP's so we are really quite terrible when the ball is in dispute on the ground). As are I50's (we were 14th/15th on that).
Tackling is also a problem (17th, if that is a surprise to anyone!) - was interesting that Richmond are only mid-table for tackle averages - I thought they would top that easily!

Yeah, I thought Constables lack of pace and agility were the problem
We just delisted Brayshaw for probably those exact issues

Never wanted us to draft Constable and glad we didn't. An option to spend some time in the forward but we're already well stocked in that area and he's too slow/not mobile enough as a mid.

What are the 3 'left field' trades the Eagles should make?
I'm not paying to read something from the West.

Was the WA colts F&B Jack Clarke medallist a few years ago . VanIrsen this year probably a late round pick if any at all .
The Great Adam Cockie probably the most famous /successful Jack Clarke medallist . I guess I am saying The Jack Clarke medal doesnt guarantee an afl career

Wise man.
Brander for Jordan Clark, Vardy and pick 49 for Sydney picks 22 and 52, and Vardy for Langdon.

Our midfield isn’t the quickest going around either.
I reckon Essendon would be a great fit for Constable, they need a bigger body to farm the ball out to their smaller quicker players. They should be all over him.
Plus as a neutral, imagine how fantastic a Wells-Dodoro trade negotiation would be.
