FWIW I reckon that Cox is CHB, he reads the play well and I see him similar to Darcy Moore at Collingwood - just not as feminine
He isn’t quick but he is creative, just needs a combative and mongrel streak to appear.

Pretty sure all reports were that his application to his rehab and fitness last year were outstanding.
In this instance I'd much rather see an ultraconservative approach to his foot. So basically "see you after the bye" being the call.
Kepler was playing in a league WAFL premiership off the wing with West Perth at the same age.....
I agree, but would you swap what we have now for these players back? We’ve sold high on all but langdon. Massive blessing in disguise.
You could even go five here. Makes it clear he is respected etc.

This kid could be the dashing half back that we need
From what I can gather there might still be a bit to play out there. But I guess they have to take their 3 picks in the draft, don't think they're looking at a rookie upgrade to fill one, could be wrong?
Like you say, they've got 3 & 8, nothing else, and no 2020 first. Albeit they've got GWS over a barrel if Green is rated a top 3 selection, on the basis he's unlikely to slide past GWS current pick 6.
You thinking in terms of them impacting Henry or potentially trying to trade up and facilitate a third early pick for them?
Yes and no.
Image is we had a midfield of Fyfe,Mundy,Walters, Weller , Neale, B Hill, S Hill, Langdon, Conca and Cerra.
Hogan we could traded pick 6 and future second and Lobb for future first with a future second coming back.

They get another pick - essentially 6th round. So pick 3, 8, 96 (or whatever number it currently is).
Now there won’t be 96 picks taken in the ND. The draft order is re-done after the final list lodgement prior to the ND and after the pick swap end date which I believe is 22 Nov.
If they didn’t make any further trades of picks it would be something like:
3,8,77
I would hazard a guess that its the same people who think that Logue would be a good midfielder.

Close to the most annoying suggestion you keep hearing on here. Although ‘Wilson to the wing’ is rapidly closing in on it. Seriously first game you tried that he’d have to spend the second half in a hyperbaric chamber.
You realize I said delist Shultz, Crowden and Giro earlier in this thread while then redrafting them on the rookie list so we dont have to pay out contracts. Im not saying delist Blakely by any stretch. But he is easily the most overrated player by freo fans. Daylight second. I know you watch the replays. When he plays midfield have a look how far he is at times behind his man. Over a 50-70 metre sprint it happens all the time. No doubt he had an extended layoff from injury and everything last season, but its a massive flaw in his game that never, ever gets talked about on here. While others consistently cop a bashing. Cerra's the other who needs to improve in this department hugely. Yeah I get it Conca, Colyer, Brayshaw, Tabs, Hughes and the players you've named also have brain fades with ball in hand. The difference is they get smashed repeatedly by freo bf fans while Blakley consistently gets off scott free.

That said I think a new coach should try a few players in different positions. Id rather Swita and Hughes be tried on a wing with Brayshaw also more on a wing as a defensive winger to use his running ability. All three players Swita, Hughes and Brayshaw at least have the physical attributes to play those roles.
Logue actually rucked quite a bit at the national champs the year he got drafted. If you watched his highlights when he kicks the goals he was playing as a ruck rather than a defender. Id rather he did that and played defence as well. Personally think Sean Darcy is miles off being an effective afl ruckman and id rather go with Lobb and Logue if Sean's fitness hasnt improved a heap starting next year. That way we wont get cruciied by the opposition ruckman around the ground like we did for a fair bit of the time when Sean was in the team last year. We can then play a forward line with two key talls and hopefully Sturt if he comes on like he might or a rotation of Acres, Mundy, Fyfe and Cerra in the third tall forward roles to allow a more balanced forward set-up.

Giro's the one I keep even if we have to delist and redraft him. At least he has pace and endurance and his skills were improving last year before injury in my view. Crowden id delist and put him on the rookie list despite having two years on his contract. The thing is we have nothing to loose. If another team picked him up they would have to take on the contract. Id delist Shultz and rookie as well. That way at least we can have a look at some players with more speed and skill.
I like the ruthless attitude.

" - that is so unnecessary, why do you feel the need?
See this is what gets me
tabs is going on 27 has never kicked more than 20 goals? In a season ,is footy iq defective and has had his fair share injuries ,
Then compare with cox who yes granted can be lazy and soft but is also blessed with good physical attributes but who has footy nous and is still only 21... ..which is still young for a midfielder let alone a kpf
But yep I get it ,one has been in the system nearly 8 years and is about to tear the comp apart ,break out any minute now ,just you wait ............while the other is a 21 year old donkey who in just his 3rd season has already matched tabs most goals in a season but is destined to never to make it

Just hope we don’t lose him because we play Taberner in front of him.
Tabs is a bit like Adam Voges. Statistically excellent.

He has excellent averages.
If only Tabs had half his talent!
