Well you guys surely see his talent. Other clubs aren’t blind. Glad he stayed, hope he gets a good run at it.

Na no way. Young only got back into the seniors after Gray got injured. And Blight was dropped for him.

Blight got 5 of his 7 games, rounds 2 - 6 early in the year because of Balta's unavailability thru suspension. WE then gave him two more later in the year rnds 17 and 18 on the back of good vfl form.

Gray played three games rounds 8, 12, 13. Young did not play until round 19.

Pretty sure Young was the preffered option over Blight nothing to do with Gray.

The kid does look to have talent and athleticism and a good ceiling and at 22 a perfect fit for us.

Imo they was not expecting Young to fly the coop were not prepared to match the offer wce offered and were ultimately forced to take pick 38 which is a good return on his overall body of work imo.

Kossie was a waste of space could not demand a game even with all the injury.
I believe Blight was a bit stiff but the obvious knocks on his game were his pace and agility for the level.

Losing all three probably means we can take another tall defender at some stage or try one of our many tall forwards there possibly Fawcett .
Either way the tall defensive stocks are looking solid
Balta 26, Miller26 , Gibcus 22, Gray 22, Trainor 19 with 32 yo Broad who can play tall if need be.

Alot of good KPD are failed forward's

Armstrong , Sims , Fawcett & Faull there are no guarantee's all 4 players make it as a KPF
We also have Lefau & Gray that are flexible to fill a role in defence or foward

We are good for KPP
