Dumb campaignerSometime it pays off.
Said we'd finish dead last in 17.
Agree.Hope so.
But something not right that he fell so far.
Be a bonus for us if he tanked to get to us.lol
Agree.
If he’s committed he will be the steal of the draft. If he continues to show the same desire (or lack of) to put in the hard work as he did in 21, he won’t make it.
He’s a gamble but with three picks in the 20s, one we could definitely afford to take.
When you look at the players we picked before and after him you can see he was the higher risk one.
Brown- will be a solid 200 game player for us. I can see this guy being a Vlastuin type team contributor (as in how he contributes to the team as a key role player, not his position).
Banks- Another that was held back only by injury in 21. His desire to succeed is immense. Polarised clubs because of his lack of exposed form, but we obviously rated him high on his leadership and desire and liked what we saw when he got on the park. If Sonsie had his intent, he would have gone top 10.
When Weitering played it was when the list was at its weakest and they were starting the play the kids route to get games into them not worried about winning gamesWeitering played 20 games first year.
Gibcus is lighter but might be able to play year1
It’s human nature boxxie.The lack of desire puzzles me. By all reports he was more then alright then he went on and ripped up a VFL game. To me that’s not lack of desire but more so looking for a greater challenge. Maybe the traits he showed turned clubs off and that’s fine by me. He is one of ours now. A long time passionate tigers man as well. Running with his idols should bring out the best in him
Yep. I've heard this too.Apparently he told clubs he only wanted to play for Richmond.
For me his position in year one that Nathan Broad currently holds. If he shows he is better than the incumbent then I’m all for him playing round one. Until then, Broad gets the gig.Weitering played 20 games first year.

I'd prefer best available and if best 22 comes down to him vs a rinse and repeat established player, give the kid a run.When Weitering played it was when the list was at its weakest and they were starting the play the kids route to get games into them not worried about winning games
Our window is still open so mature bodies and experience will be prioritised over youth
If we are talking about purely that interceptor role he isn’t fighting for a spot against a rinse and repeat typesI'd prefer best available and if best 22 comes down to him vs a rinse and repeat established player, give the kid a run.
Its amazing what an injection of youth can do to lift a team.

Who comes out of the best 22 for him?Id play them both and push balta midfield / #BaltaForward
Yep.Agree.

And he was the No.1 draft pick, that counts for a fair bit. If Gibcus gets anywhere Weitering its a big win.Weitering was alot bigger and got games qt an absolute rabble.

[/QUOTE
totally out of left field, but I wonder if anyone has thought of playing Balta forward ???
Agree. Don’t think he is ahead of Broad in year one.Marcel wrote "Gibcus might be able to play Year 1." There will be injury opportunity for games into Miller/Nyoun & Gibcus. I would not be surprised to see Gibcus play next year and go past Biggie and Ben pretty quickly.
Not many are in front of broad in year 5 . Bloke is an underrated gunAgree. Don’t think he is ahead of Broad in year one.
No doubtAnd he was the No.1 draft pick, that counts for a fair bit. If Gibcus gets anywhere Weitering its a big win.
ExactlyNot many are in front of broad in year 5 . Bloke is an underrated gun
Exactly
3 x Premiership player and extremely under rated by even our own board
Who comes out of the best 22 for him?
Personally I think three talls and Dusty makes us too light on when the ball hits the deck up forward.
