Player Watch Charlie Dean (Delisted 2025)

[manicpie]

Bit dour, lacks power, career probably gone sour…

I love a good poem

 

[whiskeytown]

Out of contract at years end

Behind Frampton and McInness in the order

… after Reef barely trained 6 months in that 2nd/3rd defender position

… which says a lot

And with talk of a MSD key defender pick up

Doesn’t bode well… Needs a big year

 

[Harry O]

Was outstanding on Kings birthday last year
Athleticism his main weakness. There are worse rookie list options out there

 

[sr36]

I think he and Macrae are very similar in this regard unfortunately.

Macrae is an inbetweener. Half outside mid and half inside mid without being right for either

 

[Kappa]

Dean would be a good player if was a yard quicker and 20% stronger

Dunno if his foot injury has slowed him down but he's just not AFL standard physically

 

[Rorzza]

This season is the best I've seen Charlie play. I know he is third in line behind Frampton and Reef but credit is due, he's done enough for me a least to feel comfortable if given the chance he will succeed. Good headache for the club to have!

I really want him to succeed. Had such high hopes for him when we first drafted him & he unfortunately had those awful foot issues.

Agree although Reef has not done anything. Just as good VFL form as Dean has achieved.

 

[pablo disco bar]

Needs a few games in afl in case we need him in the finals etc

 

[northcotehead]

Would love to see him prosper for the simple reason that he's a reader. We need point of difference personalities that can quote lines from Dostotevsky.

I thought he had a good intercept game against the BHH, good kicking too.

Yeah he’s had some good form
In the twos… just doesn’t get a look in… to the point where pies will change their structure and go in shorter than play him… as was the case when Moore was out and reef being long term out

With a hand full of senior list spots needing to be freed up each year in order to fit in draftees and trade targets… in this context Dean is likely to get delisted… especially if most of Peddles, Howe and Sidebottom play on

I haven’t seen watched much VFL to be fair, didn’t realise he had been playing at that level for a while.

Perhaps they’ve assessed that his VFL form just doesn’t translate to AFL level

 

[rand corp]

Injuries probably ruined his chances, also lacks a yard. See him as too good for VFL but not quite good enough to cement a spot in the AFL. Handy depth that can be called upon of needed.

Frampton isn’t exactly lightning either
But I get your point

Still might get another year, but it’ll be a very late call if it’s offered.

Jason Croall.

Excellent bloke, solid reserves player.

Dean seems of a similar ilk.

Unlike Collingwood's stacked midfield, there were several opportunities for a KPD to shine. Just couldn't bridge that gap.

Timing is everything. Both Frampton and Dean wee behind McInnes during the preseason. Dean behind Frampton when McInnes got injured. We’ve seen Frampton take his opportunity so I'm not sure why we shouldn’t have faith in Dean if senior selection comes.

Jason Croall was the captain of our 1986 premiership winning under 19s team (that featured Gavin Brown, McGuane, Crossisca and Monky).

Powerful truth.

What a shit team to have to come up against as a recent school leaver, bloody hell

Dean is having a great season. I hope he gets a go

It was a joy to get to games early to watch that team in the lead up to the main event.

Do we have a spare inanimate carbon rod laying around anywhere?

Weird bump given he played better than our captain and vice captain
