If we succeed over trade eon I'd like to see him as a permanent small forward next year.
Smart, creates, good pressure, can find the goals and good over head so we could isolate him at times.

Waite, Higgins, Ahern, Williams, Anderson, Jacobs, Hrovat, Hartung - most of these guys already had senior bodies, experience and were ready made, and even then I wouldn't call Rat or Hartung a raging success (although I would have retained Hartung and delisted Hrovat).Cannot agree with you at all EM, as that same development has produced better results from just about every player we brought in from another club in recent years.
This may have been the case 5+ years ago, but it isn't now.
Jy still has at least another two jumps in fitness levels in him yet.

Young players that have been with us from the very beginning that we had high hopes for like Wood, McDonald, Turner, Garner, Clark, and to a lesser extent Atley have all been disappointing given expectations. Would have added Durmont as well but to his credit he has turned it around.
I hope Simpkin and LDU follow in the way of improvement that Vickers-Willis and Durmont made rather than the players above.
If you want to judge player development from players that actually reached their prime age then Goldstein, Ziebell, Cunnington, Swallow, Tarrant, Thomas and even Daw have all been successes in our system.Waite, Higgins, Ahern, Williams, Anderson, Jacobs, Hrovat, Hartung - most of these guys already had senior bodies, experience and were ready made, and even then I wouldn't call Rat or Hartung a raging success (although I would have retained Hartung and delisted Hrovat).

I never included LDU, Dumont or Vickers-Willis into the disappointing category, in VW and Dumont's case it was the opposite, although LDU 1st season performance was a little underwhelming considering all the hype, but he has his whole career in frout of him, and he was a #4 pick for a reason. Wood and Garner have had a lot of bad luck with injury but apart from a handful of games they constantly have gone missing for large chunks, and in Wood's case have wasted many opportunities particularly from set shots. They both are talented but have not exactly thrived under our system when on the park.I didn't state "raging success", I stated "better"
Wood - Constantly injured (39 games)
LDU - (7 games)
Garner - Constantly injured (34 games)
Atley - Elite for his category
Turner - Very good for a 21 year old in the most demanding position i the game. (58 games)
McDonald - Tracking nicely, despite a drop off this season
Dumont - Excellent (61 games)
Clark - disposal issues and decision making (40 games)
Vickers - Willis - Excellent (14 games)
Simpkin - Who do you want to compare him with at the same age? Will Josh Caddy do? (34 games)

We've fixed up our drafting now and the quality of our development will be clear to all again. McKay, Jy, LDU, and Walker are all tracking to be gun players.Thank you linesmen, thank you ball boys.
All have been very good and this might be a tad harsh but I'd argue that apart from Goldy, none have been in the very top elite bracket for their respected positions as far as the comp goes.If you want to judge player development from players that actually reached their prime age then Goldstein, Ziebell, Cunnington, Swallow, Tarrant, Thomas and even Daw have all been successes in our system.
Short memory on Swallow. We had turned him into a top 20 mid in the competition before his achilles exploded.All have been very good and this might be a tad harsh but I'd argue that apart from Goldy, none have been in the very top elite bracket for their respected positions as far as the comp goes.
That said Cunnington has been criminally underrated for years now and has been a very consistent performer with his beast mode making him one of the best pure inside mids in the AFL. Tarrent has been a super good defender for the last few years, and Thomas went through a block of form where he was matching Betts.
But you're right. All the above including Swallow, and Daw (but only of late) have been successful
I said he was successful.Short memory on Swallow. We had turned him into a top 20 mid in the competition before his achilles exploded.
lol sorry mate. Got a bit of a headache today and can't read apparently.I said he was successful.
Doesn't look like a kid anymore, a big year coming up for Jy.
Yes
In the clear light of the offseason expectations last season were too high
Has the talent we need
Very likely to rip it apart in 2019
Where do you reckon he’ll play Reggie? Predominantly small forward or midfield?
I am not referring to any particular player.......but you can't polish a turd. Sometimes things are just what they are.Waite, Higgins, Ahern, Williams, Anderson, Jacobs, Hrovat, Hartung - most of these guys already had senior bodies, experience and were ready made, and even then I wouldn't call Rat or Hartung a raging success (although I would have retained Hartung and delisted Hrovat).

He's bubbling.
Soon he will boil.

When did he meet Todd Carney
Jy is somewhat in between at this point
he definitely played in the middle at times and came off the back of the square
His Thing is Vision and the Twinkletoes and the Hands
But it looks like he doesnt have that initial yard to get the breakaway that a lot of the new breed small fwds have
and is he physically big that he can play sustained minutes in the middle?
I think Yes,he has that slightly deranged Jed look about him
Im guessing with Tyson as another Mid, and Polec actually able to kick it to someone plus we have to start looking after Higgo that he will def be in the midfield rotations
wot were u thinking?
