Speculation Elijah Tsatas

[The Nostradamus]

Out of contract out of the team again where to for the former pick 5?

A fresh start is needed but who tries to get him cheaply?

Didn’t the Crows and Richmond have a crack at him last year?

 

[Yoda_]

Would be doing both us and him a favour by taking him

 

[Vindicater]

Feel for the kid.

He has his flaws for sure but it is clear he is Brads whipping boy.

 

[THE_GUN]

3rd rounder at best

 

[SSSSSS]

Just can't see him being AFL standard with his disposal.

He's basically Finn Maginess but without the incredible tank and general athleticism.

 

[cAsEy_18]

Didn’t the Crows and Richmond have a crack at him last year?

I doubt it.

He was basically told he was free to a good home last year and couldn't find a taker.

 

[branedotorg]

Port Melbourne 2027?

 

[AFDogs]

Richmond? West Coast? Giants?

 

[txbyhull]

Be surprised if the Eagles don't pick him up. Straight swap out for Schoenberg + Macrae OOC at the end of the year. Fits in with Dev Rob.

Maybe. I reckon more likely teams know we are going to delist him so they will just wait to pick him up if they want as a delisted free agent.

 

[Makeshift Park]

I’d be happy for North to offer 1 or 2 fourths for him.

 

[Supersuns]

As a junior he looked to have a bit of pace as an outside mid, what has happened to that? Treacle slow in the AFL

 

[Wild Bill]

I’d be happy for North to offer 1 or 2 fourths for him.

Why?

 

[Makeshift Park]

Why?

He’s looked ok in the couple games I’ve seen him play this year.

Good mate of Wardlaw’s.

We don’t have any midfield depth in the twos.

Could've had Will Phillips

 

[Makeshift Park]

Could've had Will Phillips

Couldn't run for 4 quarters, unfortunately.
Not much need for midfielders who can't run these days.

steer clear of Elijah then

 

[Makeshift Park]

Isnt his defensive application the main query on him, tho?

Injured his knee early on in his AFL career (2023 I believe) and never regained his pace.

 

[Milanista28]

He's improved parts of his game every year, where that stops I'm not sure.

 

[OneohtrixPointNever]

Just can't see him being AFL standard with his disposal.

He's basically Finn Maginess but without the incredible tank and general athleticism.

He's a carbon copy of Paddy Dow.

No engine, bad kick - can win clearances but pretty much nothing else to his game. Can't run defensively. That is forgivable if you're the best player in your stoppage setup, but not going to fly if you're 4th or 5th in the clubs depth chart.

Brad Scott clearly doesn't rate him.

I actually wouldn't mind Carlton adding him to see if we can improve his workrate and get his tank up to the required standard. Our inside mids are older and we need to add some support over the next few off seasons.

There is a player there - it's on Tsatas to find another gear.

I would have thought a one way midfielder with poor skills is the absolute last thing Carlton needs.

He's never had that much pace.

Sometimes talented junior players are quicker than players around them but the margins are pretty fine - that's why they appear fast, plus being faster to react to the game sometimes creates the illusion of legspeed.

Campbell Chesser is in the same boat. Quick for a junior, average for a professional footballer. (This also applies to his kicking skills)

 

[OneohtrixPointNever]

Don't think he's bad as a depth option.

Hewett should request a trade at the end of the year, I wouldn't be surprised if Cripps re-evaluates what he wants to do either - so our midfield is going to be revised one way or another.

A fresh start is the best thing for Tsatas - at the Blues or wherever else thinks they can improve him.
