Clinton Young - Thoughts?

[jmac70]

That is just going off Walsh SEN Interview but I think he will stay a Hawk

Time to let go Dave. Concentrate on the draft and then watch some cricket for gods sake.

I bet S Buckley is relieved. Hard to see him getting de-listed now. Hopefully he takes his chances next season.

Probably still gone i have no idea why they would keep him others will go past him next year.

Williams,Yagmoor,Young i could go on.

 

[dansa]

Just another possibility,

Maybe Young has told Hawthorn his intention to leave, but because he is still on good terms with the club, agreed to let Hawthorn try and trade him to us so Haw get something in return.

As soon as Ess, Coll hear this they come out and say 'not interested anymore' . A game of bluff being played out by all sides?

His long kicking may earn him a reprieve. He actually was not too bad early in the season.

Like the look of Williams. Certainly hope he goes past Buckley.

Crown?

Nah man retail!!!!! hahahahaha.

Interesting position now on Simon Buckley.

I'm watching all the replays at the moment and Buckley wasn't horrible this year. He was reliable on most occassions and his kicking is 95% of the time very good. He just makes awful blunders the other 5%, and occassionally just has games where everything he touches goes bad.

Then you have Marley Williams who is a real goer...however his kicking skills are quite ordinary. He kicks them too high and they never spin right. Yet, he doesn't seem to make as many glaring errors. Wouldn't back him to take kick-ins though. I'd prefer Buckley did this.

It's just a shame because Buckley is the perfect size, shape and has terrific skills. He just can't seem to get it right. I would persist with him one more year.

Williams and Yagmoor yes. But Tom Young is a ****ing bum....he's shit....got nothing.....red nut.

Fair enough. I know the dealers at Crown have a shift that starts at 4am. I guess you get to finish at midday and enjoy the afternoon. Particularly in summer.

Yeah once he's signed somewhere....close.

 

[lenny20]

Williams and Yagmoor yes. But Tom Young is a ******* bum....he's shit....got nothing.....red nut.

How anyone can simultaneously condemn Tom Young and glorify Yagmoor is beyond me.

Yagmoor is 19 for christ sake. People condemning him after 1 season in the VFL need to relax.
Young has proven he is a Spud. Played numerous times this year and showed plenty of treadmil running and weak gutless efforts.

This would have to be the dumbest comment I have read all year, well done.

It's not even worth responding to its that moronic

We are still interested in Young and we may not do anything else.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

If we traded for #45, and we're not trading away any picks any more, we'll likely use 5 selections in the draft.

Ergo, Simon Buckley is going to have to make way... surely.

Judging a player based on 1 AFL game and some VFL games.

enlighten me with your infinite wisdom of judging players please.

 

[millsy29gopies]

Not too worried, would have liked Young but it's not a major dent to our plans for next season.

 

[Scodog10]

Thanks for proving what a dumb shit you really are. I was in no way comparing Clinton Young to Peter Yagmoor...I was saying that Tom Young is a spud!

In fairness mate he just doesn't read and comprehend what others are posting. The same happened with me on the previous page.....

Young will come for free if he decides to, that is the benefit. This and that we may get more of this

 

[forwardflanker]

I'm neither here nor there on bringing in Young. I just think its folly to go on about premiership windows and whatever when we already have similar players on the list.

I thought we were pretty deficient this year for players of Youngs type. I think Seedsman will likely be best 22 next season and perhaps a better player than Young but that probably won't go all the way to addressing it. Ideally I think both of them would be in our best 22 ahead of our bottom 4 players like Blaire, Sinclaire, Elliot, Goldsack (for balance), even Didak (this depends a lot on balance imo). Actually, I'll probably get slammed for this but unless a minor miracle occurs Young would probably be more value for us next year than Didak. Either way, our kicking and spread this year was horrible. I'm not sure how related it was to gameplan or just personnel but getting in Young addresses a noted deficiency for the cost of nothing (or cap space) and at the very least will improve our bottom 6 of the first 22.
