Finally someone is tempering our expectations of a new recruit. 😜

Actually think “buy back” is hyperbole - like any divorce it would have been an asset spilt where the wife got a concession/ asset of equal value.

Begg is not a 1st Ruck - and his ground game was far superior to the 19yo. Marshall only got 13 HO’s to our 47 but he’s is still a gun.

A 19yo monstering an undersized 21 yo - not sure that’s a huge rap.

Doesn’t have his speed or mobility eg ground ball game IMO. Most importantly he lacks Stringers X factor.

Murphy wasn’t a patch on Langdon in the beginning according to many.

Agree - the hype is way way over the top based on his performances to date. And at 190cm is he really a size that could be influential given his lack of X factor.

The discussion around Howe’s replacement in my view is less about personnel, given how well we did last year in his absence, and more about organization/coaching. Can Roughead as the defensive Coach, replicate the cohesion and structure of his predecessor? That’s my only concern.

NOT giving him games is the guarantee he won’t blossom.

Tough, fast , aggressive, good mark and good size - he has all the elements for HB role. Hopefully he can keep building on his performances, and makes it.

Pretty good debut and did some very nice things - how tall is he.

Do you consider his athleticism comparable to AJ or Kreuger? Who would be a 190cm fwd that he's comparable to?

Sorry Jen, I don't see it. He's 190cm, without great speed or ground game, both of which are needed if you are going to excel at that size in the fwd line. At a minimum, he would need to have the athleticism of AJ to make it IMO.

it will be a brave team considering Hutchinson based on his VFL form to date - he'll need a dramatic improvement over the next month to match the hype he's been getting.

I was speaking about Geel.
