My biggest concern if he doesn't resign is that west coast will have pick 1 (more than likely) in pre season draft, which can be used as leverage to get him on the cheap.
We always have close games against this lot, overwhelming favourites isn't something I like particularly against a team we've struggled with over the past few years. Need to be switched on from the start or we will be inviting trouble.
Not having a go at you or Ticky for posting or discussing, but it's ridiculous that we've played half a round of the 2024 season and we already have all this speculation of player movement, too many journalists have nothing to write about so they just produce articles that are as accurate and...
agreed in a pinch hitting role it's fine and works but he's a midfielder, as a forward he's an excellent mark and kick for goal, but he lacks pace and over an extended period of time could be exposed by rebounding opponent. Also until someone steps up and starts averaging more clearances than...
conveniently forgetting we played quite a few games with no key defenders available, including the after siren loss to port where both mccartins went down in the match.
not sure why I did this, but just watched the extended highlights of the 06 gf, geez we played like s**t in the first half, however let me just say the only time I've ever watched it before was about this time in 2012, may the stars please align.
Leave him forward, such a difficult match up.
With the addition of Adams Jordan and the potential improvement of Campbell, Sheldrick etc we potentially don't need to play him up the ground.
On his day a match winner, just need him to do it more often.
All good Rusty, drafting isn't an exact science we all know that, so easy to look back and say who we should have taken. I was happy with the Stephens pick fwiw, and he may still turn out to warrant that pick 5 selection, it just won't be at Sydney.
rusty I'm not having a go at the recruiters, I was happy with the Stephens selection at the time. But you asked not 4 posts ago who we should have selected, so I answered with 3 players that came after Stephens who at this stage of their careers are better. Don't ask that question if you don't...
I'm not one to have a go at recruiters as they see what they see at the time, but Young Serong and Flanders are all better players at this stage of their careers.
All the talk of Academy picks and the perceived advantages yet the only player I can think of that has played in a flag recruited through an academy is Isaac Quaynor.
ps no research done here so there maybe more I'm unaware of.
Cleary is a natural ball winner from what I've seen, he has the body type to play seniors straight away if called upon, any bid after our first pick and we match it no doubt. We do have a lot of midfield depth im terms of players that we're drafted as midfielders that you've listed but Mitchell...
