2020 FA, Draft and Trade HYPOTHETICAL thread...now with new DFA speculation!

[Strapping Young Lad]

A good reference point for picks.

 

[WWSD]

Why?

By playing Hardwick up forward, it’ll allow Wingard to play in the midfield.

 

[tommyk72]

He went forward this year and didn’t exactly light it up.

Yeah, but he also didn't exactly light it up down back this year.

 

[Brant]

By playing Hardwick up forward, it’ll allow Wingard to play in the midfield.

Wingard would be better switching with JO'M from the midfield.
60 Mid = Wingard (40 JO'M)
60 HFF = JO'M (40 Wingard)

 

[tommyk72]

If any of our BP players have the physical attributes to play pressure forward then it's Frost.

Doesn't mean he could though as physical attributes don't directly translate to onfield performance... but I'd much rather see Frost in a FP than Hardwick.




*don't want this to happen of course, because we need him as BP

Kicking doesn't appear to be good enough for mine.

 

[Brant]

Kicking doesn't appear to be good enough for mine.

Yeh agreed, but pressure forwards aren't picked for their kicking skills. He wouldn't be a lead/mark forward. He'd be a tackle hard/raise Hell forward - probably give (create) 2 or 3:1

 

[Slysh]

To be fair, he has had some success forward.
He can definately kick goals.

He has had some very limited success, like i said average.

He has never shown to be better than that forward though, he is an elite defender.

Yeah, but the best pressure forwards are those who put pressure on defensively (as you outline) and offensively (i.e. are a danger when the ball hits the deck/goes into the forward line). If you're only bringing half the skill set it doesn't make you as dangerous, and means that opposition teams can zone off more easily.

 

[4THAWN]

Derek Eggolesse Smith from the tigers.

small defender who's a pretty good kick/solid distributor.

Surely worth a look at, probably better than a lot of what you'd pick up late in the draft.

 

[Slick]

He's probably the only DFA I'd actually be interested in looking at

 

[MatteeG]

By playing Hardwick up forward, it’ll allow Wingard to play in the midfield.

I'd love us to put Hardwick in at random centre bounces, Gary Ayres like. Long penetrating kick out of a centre ball up would help our forwards immensely.

 

[Cyzzametimbres]

Yeah, but he also didn't exactly light it up down back this year.

Did anyone light it up for us this year?

 

[Billyc]

Derek Eggolesse Smith from the tigers.

small defender who's a pretty good kick/solid distributor.

Surely worth a look at, probably better than a lot of what you'd pick up late in the draft.

He’s doesn’t fill the most pressing need but he’s young and in my view better than players retained on our list. I could see him being a best 22 player for us. Worth a look. Someone will pick him up

 

[tommyk72]

Did anyone light it up for us this year?

That wasn't the context of the comment. Brant suggested he didn't light it up up forward this year, and I was suggesting he'd had a bad year generally and so his forward performance shouldn't be judged on that.

 

[The Spirit of Cricket]

even for having a bad year Dimma was more consistent than half of our regular 18~22

shows you how garbage this season was
I feel like of all the people that will prove 2020 was an aberration for them, he'd be one of the most likely, along with Impey

 

[Brant]

Yeh, either that or it wasn't me that made the comment about his not lighting it up

This in particular.
I think some players (from all clubs) are being judged harshly and unfairly based on a season that was all over the shop and was far from being and an indication of the capabilities of some players.

Fly McRae will know him well enough to make a recommendation one way or another.

We usually pull the trigger on DFAs pretty quickly. Surprised we haven't announced one yet. Maybe we aren't looking at any DFAs?

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

He went forward this year and didn’t exactly light it up.

Cameo appearance.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

There’s a couple of delisted guys from out west that we have done medical checks on.

Sicily in 2022 may have the luxury of a great swing player by then

Savage and Birchall rate higher than anyone we discarded this year (unless you count chip) ouch
