Can it be that debilitating? Of course it can.Are ankles that debilitating? I reckon by mid season he'll be cherry ripe honestly.
The 64 games he has under Gleeson's belt, decent in the back 6 where he was at least 2nd picked each week.IMHO others are either better or have passed him
IMHO, Ridley, Redman, Saad and Francis have displayed a fair bit and passed him. And he definitely wouldn't be 2nd picked now (if he ever was).The 64 games he has under Gleeson's belt, decent in the back 6 where he was at least 2nd picked each week.
Players fighting for his position will have to display a fair bit bit before they are considered as "Passed him".
you're kidding, Ridley and Redman have played a handful of games between them. Saad is in a different role so isn't taking his spot. Francis is a huge talent so can be in the side along with him.

Nope, not kidding nor crazy. I just have a different opinion to you and a far different assessment of Gleeson. Last time I looked Saad played back six therefore is competing with Gleeson and has gone passed him. Francis has played 10 games but you , rightly so, identify him as a huge talent. With opportunities Ridley and Redman will be better than Gleeson well before either of them play 69 games.you're kidding, Ridley and Redman have played a handful of games between them.

If we're looking to win now, Gleeson is ahead of Ridley and Redman and will (when fit) rightly get opportunities ahead of them and I believe will hold his spot. You can play in the same backline and not be competing with each other for the same spot. Is Ridley going to miss out for Hurley or Hooker? no, and his role is just as different to one of those 2 boys as his role is to Saad's.Nope, not kidding nor crazy.

Agree to disagree. Injury included Gleeson will be fortunate to play AFL in 2019. I don't see him offering anything that Ridley, Redman, Saad, Hooker, Francis, Hurley, McKenna, Guelfi, McGrath, etc can otherwise provide. Yes they all fill a 'different' role but you can still only play 6 in the backline, rotations noted.If we're looking to win now, Gleeson is ahead of Ridley and Redman and will (when fit) rightly get opportunities ahead of them and I believe will hold his spot.

Silk.
Does not miss a target. When he gets an afl body look out
Expecting him to be the Marshall of our backline when Hurley eventually retires in a few years, has the smarts and temperament to be a real leader of the backline in time.
Seriously impressive.
Like, seriously. In equations for Round 1.
