List Mgmt. Big key forward

[sirlothie]

My theory is that if you re-watch an event a million times the event changes.

When my theory is proven correct, you'll be thanking me and celebrating a magnificent victory where Mihocek gets a free and then quickly gets it over the top to Degoey who has wisely stayed down and gotten clear from the Gov.

In some alternate reality on a far, far distant planet this is what happened and I am still celebrating.

JDG in the last quarter is why I made this post. He killed it when they put him in the middle and I just don't see him as a full time forward.
I remember his game last year with Melbourne as well and he is just a beast when they put him in the middle.
Different players, but I think he will be maybe similar to Robbie Gray with time spent forward and in the middle.

I just don't know. Elliott was good in the first game, but has been quiet since and was quiet for most of this with the Doggies. But when DeGoey went into the middle in the last quarter, Elliott came right into the game which would be interesting to see in coming weeks if there is anything in that.

I love JDG up forward and in the middle, but I think he will play a lot more minutes in the middle down the track and tonight with the game in the balance showed just how valuable he is in the middle.

It's why we really need Sier back in.
DeGoey in the middle won that game.

Sounds like you guys need Ed Richards. Wouldn't be surprised to see a major play for him in 2020

This stuff just never happens.

This stuff just never happens.

Plus, is he any good? Looked terrified every time he touched the footy tonight.

 

[swoop42]

Showed his remaining loyalty to the Pies and laid down tonight.

It's what I'd do.

I think Buckley has been pretty forthright about wanting to play De Goey in the middle. I think the concerns were about his fitness because of his interrupted pre-season. I wonder how his fitness has improved since then?

We were an entirely different beast with him in there. I reckon Elliott and Stephenson got more influential when De Goey went middle. Probably because our forward momentum was better because we actually started winning meaningful clearances.

Would rather pay Grundy, Degoey and others than waste money on him

Yep can go either way, everyone bemoans not getting Lockett but we weren't in the gun during those years.
We could definitely use some icing now that we are at high noon on Mick's clock but you would imagine the cost is prohibitive.

Sydney will never trade him. Not after spending the time and money to get him, resulting in the loss of their cola. This is just crazy talking. And have they seen our salary cap? LOL

Hey they can pay half his salary and the plane ticket to get him down here.

Classic click bait.

Well you never know, I heard he was a GWS player anyway.

 

[60 Yards Out]

One of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard. The bloke’s of an age and often appears to be hobbled. Can’t kick as far as he used to, I heard commentators say last weekend. What does that all tell us? Also, how would it help our forward balance and strategy given the other players we have?
Total beatup.

 

[magpienato]

Josh Bruce on St Kilda looks pretty solid and it relatively young still. If we can somehow get a trade going for him he's a strong-tall forward who would fit really well on our team.

 

[magpienato]

Just checked, his contract ends in next year in 2020 so either we make a move for him at the end of the season trading assets around for him or just wait it out like we tried to do with Lynch. The guy's stats probably don't justify giving anymore than a 1st-round pick but on a team like ours with a decent midfield squad this guy can turn into something great.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Buddy? Get stuffed.

 

[sr36]

If there wasn't such thing as a salary cap or trade costs, I'd love see that bloke in a Pies jumper. I just love watching him play footy. But alas, it would be a really stupid move to sink that much of the salary cap into a player at Buddy's stage of his career.

Did Shawry run into a tree again?

You deserve two likes IMO.
One for the humour and the other for the correct spelling of his nickname.
Often see it as Shawy.

I hope we can get the balance right. To my he is a burst player so his time in the middle should be limited to relative short bursts. Use him there when we have to, not because we can. He is a Ferrari, not a Prius.

He's the one that's plug and play for not too much, I went through all the options and came to the same conclusion.
He's a good fit for our structure too, somewhere between Cox and Mihocek.
I'd jump now rather than wait, we've got 8 players over 30 years of age, pull the trigger!

He's probably the one player I go out of my way to check up on and yeah while he isn't elite, his talent can be optimised with our midfield. He has scored 7 goals this season which isn't anything incredible but that almost 2 goals a game and a player like that who is relatively cheap is invaluable on our side right now. I just hope the list managers at the Pies can see the same potential.
