Perfect 3rd tall. Quick has height and hard to match up on.

 

[Killer79]

If anything today showed how much we miss Hooker up forward

I agree with this, Hooker so valuable when we need to bomb the ball deep. Daniher is great for a speccy or two but I'd back Hooker to win or halve more contested air balls.

Father son collingwood, father son.

Hopefully this doesn't start the Hooker discussion in this thread too.

i agree with Bunk, time to send him back. he's not a forward for *s sake.

Father son collingwood, father son.

imo you should always take a risk with a father/son selection because it could bite you in the arse if you don't pick them.

 

[Kakkle]

Going against the grain here and I know this might sound weird considering the impact he had, but I didn't really see anything in his game today to suggest that he could play 2nd fiddle to Joe. He is the perfect 3rd forward in every way.

His contested work has improved, just lacks polish. Would be his key focus over the off season.

4 goals and played deep all game.
Whether he can do that week in/week out is unknown, but he won't need to.
Liking his aggression and his ability to push off defenders and keep his feet.

Agree. He only had one mark that I thought "that's a good contested grab" (out on the flank in the last), and the rest of them were opportunistic. He played very well no doubt, but he's a 3rd tall.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

We should be going after Tom Lynch (GC) he's a FA next season if I'm not mistaken.

Lynch and Joe with Stewart as the 3rd tall is a deadly combo plus it's means we can move Hooker back.

 

[Killer_Mike]

Stewart is still only 23 and as he matures he will put on further weight and strength. If he can manage to maintain his athleticism he is going to be a very well rounded player by the time he hits 26. I can see him taking over from hooker by then.

Agreed although he did start clunking some good marks in the last quarter.

Yep. Will grow with Daniher and Fantasia into one of the best forward trios in the game.

And all have ten years of footy in front of them.

 

[Capt Hindsight]

A lot of pressure on Stewart this week playing as the 2nd key tall.
Hopefully he rises to the occasion.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Random. But watching the game at the monemt I'm wondering how much more the crows woild be paying McGovern compared to what we are paying Stewart? Will be interesting to see who has a better Career, I feel Stewart's fairly underrated while alot of people scream how good McGovern is

Other part of that is would GWS be regretting their decision. Lobb and Patton too similar and cant get involved, where as high work rate HF forward would be pretty handy.

Patrons still presents well, works hard & crashes packs. Lobb often looks lost & confused out there.

Lobb really needs to be a primary ruckman. Its where he plays his best footy and he just gets lost playing as a third tall behind Cameron and Patton.
Problem is Mumford has that role pegged for the next little while.

McGovern's good for some cameo's but yeah I'm not convinced he's a whole lot better than Stewart. He's got the reputation and the marking but I've seen a lot of Adelaide games the last 2 years and often you forget he's out there until he kind of bobs up. Plays on the 3rd or 4th best defender each week as well with Walker and Jenkins taking the best 2 then maybe Lynch or McGovern taking the 3rd best. Isn't an especially good kick.

On a value for money basis I'd definitely prefer Stewart who I think has a lot of scope for development as well.

Now if it was Jeremy McGovern - that's another story - he's a legit gun.

 

[JayDon]

Stewart's chance to unleash on a small ground.

 

[Laverde2Smack]

And to think people wanted us to chase Darling

Darling is far better than Stewart.

Cost benefit wasn't worth pursuing Darling

This kid's alright, but for all the worry about Hooker and Joey, Stewart's got the worst conversion rate of the lot and I think the 3rd forward really has to nail those shots

 

[Nuggs Bunny]

Biggest priority for Stewart this off-season is getting him a decent feed. Then maybe a couple of chest days in the gym.

Negative

His biggest asset is his mobility and for a bloke who is 200cm, being employed as a mobile 3rd tall, gaining weight would ruin this.


Keep him mobile. Will only benefit from another year in our system.
