Clint Bizzel

[trueblue_91]

Bizzel is an ok defender and hasnt played for melbourne this year. Would it be worthwhile picking him up for our defensive problems.

Maybe its worth the risk. oppinions?

 

[Silvagnis]

No, he's too old and he would take precious development time from Hartlett, Bower, Setanta, Flint, etc.

 

[trueblue_91]

But if we can snathc him for free to add some experience in our young side it may pay dividends later

 

[Jeremias]

No for several reasons

1) Too old-the club has said it is implementing a strict youth policy, Bizzell does not fit this criteria

2) Would stop or hinder the development of other kids looking to cement a position down back

3) Injury prone

4) Would much rather use the PSD Pick on a younger player, NOT GARDINER, hopefully Laycock. Maybe pick up another promising kid instead. But, if it came down to Bizzell or Gardiner, I would have no hesitation in picking Bizzell.

I agree, but what about Goddard, does anyone know what the situation is with him. I understand he is out of contract. He and his family are Carlton thru & thru, when he was drafted by StKilda, his mother yelled out "Go Blues". He has really improved this year , and a good sweeper in the backline. Offer him something he can't refuse and tell him to go into the PSD?

Isnt that why we got saddington?

 

[FieryNayta]

Isnt that why we got saddington?

Yeah, we got fooled. I liked saddington back in his early sydney days, but he's so obviously not going to spark a career comeback. Disapointing for him, and for us.

But please, no Bizzel. We have to learn from our mistakes.

 

[drusswaylander]

Even though it means a few more seasons of pain we just have to keep on promoting kids The only way we should look at an older player is if they have great leadership qualities which could really help us out and that they have at least three years of good footy left in them

 

[Hu$$ey]

One Saddington is enough me thinks.

Next year is Hartlett's last chance seeing as he is on a one year deal, he needs to be given every opportunity to show something and Bizzell will only take that away.

No........you really need to think about things a little more deeply before suggesting another aging top up player. Sure we have needs in defense, but surely we are better off persisting with O'hAilpin, Hartlett and Bower.

you have answered your own question

Bizzel is an ok defender

we already have guys who are OK defenders, we need guys to step up and be great defenders

bradshaw would be a better option as he can play KP

bizzell is a flanker at best.

 

[J-Train]

Hey just on Bizzel, what the hell happened to him? He was a solid player for the D's, then he just fell off the radar. Did he get injured or something. I rather him on the list than Saddington if we want a defensive mentor for our up and comers. At least he was an attacking defender with a bit of run. Saddington just shapes as a spoiler and not much else.
