Better to think of Kersten in Mayne's role maybe, but less defensive.

Ballantyne Apeness/Taberner Crozier
Kersten/Mayne McCarthy Walters

Not really comparable at all though given Cam's contract, Geelong had waaaay more leverage here.

6 years of poor list management has gotten us to a grand final, consecutive finals, our first brownlow medallist, finishing top for the first time..

Sure it's not a premiership but we're thereabouts with one of the strongest midfields around and will be for years yet - hardly a failure. We net McCarthy and a tall or two and suddenly the list managers will be geniuses. A fickle bunch our supporters
Nah I miss the laughing stock days.Give me the Drum style coach, the Dan Parker selections, the giving away the farm for a handfull of beans.Those were the days my friends ,I wish those times would never end.

I feel extremely safe that won't ever happen. It's a low blow bringing in JA as a comparison, but Tabs is that bad. :)
Name any key forward we have drafted since Pav that has shown more? Reality is, Tabs was a speculative rookie pick. He has done extremely well given how far back he was when he was drafted.

Yep spot on and isn't Kersten like 4cm taller than Mayne, he can also kick it further than 40m as well.
Pretty sure that Mayne kicked a goal from outside 50 in the 2013 GF (brought us within 3pts of the Hawks). So can kick further than 40m. Finished top 10 in the Doig. Kersten can't even get a regular game, and probably doesn't even finish top ten in the Cats VFL B&F.

When Tabs learns to take a mark and even gets close to kicking 50 goals in a year, even once then come back and post that shite.
Tab's isn't a spud he is a rookie listed player that is tracking pretty well. He took 51 marks in 15 games which isn't bad at all considering the delivery he was getting. He seems to just get better and better and with a bit more size and weight I reckon he could become very handy. He won't ever kick 50 goals in a season but he is so much better than Jack bloody Anthony was for us.

That's more a recruiting fault than Tabs being any good. Name any regular key forward partner Pav has had? Personally, I think Ryan Murphy was better. The fact we've never had a regular partner for Pav means that Tabs has "Bradbury'd" his way into contention for "best fwd after Pav we've ever had".

Tony Modra says hi.
