Why would we be getting rid of a 22yo player who has just reached 50 games. There is only Bolton of the young mids Who has reached more than 20 games if you exclude Stack who may or may not become a competent AFL midfielder personally i think him a defender and hes played just 26 games anyway...
Lol i think he got an awful lot right as well as getting plenty wrong.
Imo tiger supporters in the main want it both ways. The vast majority at the time were howling like lunatics for blood recruiting had been poor and list management was poor as well. It took an external review a challenge to...
This is spot on. Historically we have always played three talls two genuine KPP'S when fit !!!! and a third tall who can play tall or small.
In 2017 we actually played four genuine talls in Astbury kpd 195cm, Rance kpd 194cm, Grimes third tall/sml 193cm. Broad third tall/sml 192cm.
To my way of...
Dont see Broad as a kpp and there in lies the problem.
For me with Astbury back in the team it becomes a choice between Broad and Grimes for that third tall spot, and Grimes wins that one hands down.
Astbury and Balta are our KPD'S when fit.
Grimes can play KPD out of neccesity but he is also...
Lots of bunkum in this thread.
At Geelong in 2016 Caddy was in competition with Duncan, J Selwood, Dangerfield his first yr, S Selwood his first yr, and Menegola all big inside and out mids as well as Bartel as it turned out in his last yr..
He realised the squeeze was on he was not guaranteed...
Have said almost from the get go that the role he plays for us makes him one of the biggest disappointments we have at the club for me.
What is so wrong with asking a big 186cm 87kg mid to play inside. He played that role well as a junior and had two pretty good yrs playing the role at Geelong...
Hmm an ideal team or a best 22 with a few spots open with an eye on the future.
FB/ Vlastuin 187/87 - Astbury 195/95 - Grimes 193/90. If Astbury comes back he comes back for Broad and Grimes moves to third tall in Broads role.
HB/ Pickett 184/84 - Balta - 194/100 - Houli 180/84.Will say again...
LMFAO at the apologists for mediocrity.
Castagna for his career goes at 1.0 goals a game fmd for a permanent small fwd that is and im being kind here very average at best.
Rioli over the journey goes at a whopping 0.8 goals a game.
Aarts with a very small sample size of 5 whole games for 6...
I love the head in the sand attitude of some. This yr has not been all that different to other yrs. Every yr for an awful lot the expectation has been he will take the next step and here we all are still waiting.
Geez we aim low. Personally i would preder an Eddie betts type or a toby Greene most weeks good for a couple of goals or more and they do the defensive stuff as well.
Theres nothing that says your small fwd to apply pressure doesnt need to worry about doing his primary role of kicking goals...
