No....maybe...not sure. I wouldn’t trade anything for Wright though. He is useless up the ground. If he could provide ruck relief maybe, but he’s no good on the ball.

Not the way I remember Wright when he was playing well... but not worth being overly concerned about unless other options are shut down. Edging Daniher out of Ess will not be easy .. and Daniher is no great finished product either. To pay him 700 or more to get him out as a FA brings its own issues.
 
Think your being a bit harsh on these two, what do you expect from them??
Gutherie and mengola have FINALLY started to do something and they have been round for years, playing a game here and there and not setting the world on fire doesn’t mean you can’t play the game, they clearly are better than you and i cause we are both sitting on big footy ragging on them
Those two have literally been automatic picks from the get go when fit. Are we really trying to compare them to those 4 we were talking about.

You want to use them as your example of late blossoming players then the comparison is whipping boys like Atkins, Kolo or Parfitt.

Menegola didn’t debut til he was 24, and it wasn’t through lack of trying.

So is this 100% on Constable? what are the development programs doing?

No he's the only draftee who we have ignored from a development perspective. All the other ones who now have more mature bodies have been developed perfectly by the cats. What does your comment even mean. He didnt get the required programs and facilities to makes changes hahahahah are you actually serious?
 
Or rucks ...



I suspect will will pick up someone moneyball style who is ready to play and when it comes to draft it would not surprise us looking at a Reid or Cox..
That could be true, than goes with guys like Clarke and Constable in the way give them 1 game and see what they got
It too late now, they aren’t going to play them 1st week of the finals!

I'd assume he's done the work. He just has an ectomorphic body shape with a limited ability to develop the endurance required to play as an AFL mid. Possibly not his fault. Just poor DNA.

Since he debuted for Geelong (like Kelly) he only misses bc of injury.

Maybe Constable could tear up the lower comps like Menegola did before we consider him so hard done by

Once again, these young fellas are being hung out to dry off the back of rumour. For all we know Constable and Fogarty want nothing else other than to remain at Geelong, train their arses off and push for selection here. When I see the words come out of their mouths that it’s too hard so they’re leaving, only then I’ll join the chorus.

What about the complete lack of definition in his arms and legs. After three years is that DNA as well.

Fair enough but it’s constant with Charlie. Every year. It’s hard to believe it’s just smoke.
 
That is a particularly tough question
I would be pretty ruthless and remove players no of size who weren't quite a ble to reach great heights. That means removing some I like too.
Young guys to keep for mine
Parfitt
Cockatoo
Clark
Kolo
Stephens
Fogarty
Kreuger
Narkle
Constable
Ratagolea
Evans
Tarca
Henry
O'Connor
Close
Taheny
Okunbor
Sclensog if coming on with ruckwork
Others to keep
Stanley
Tuohy
Steven
Selwood
Duncan
Rohan
Bews
Henderson
Hawkins
Menegola
Guthrie
Dangerfield
Dahlhaus
Stewart
Blicavs
This allows 5 more into the club
3 first rounders and 2 free agents/trades
Left Jenkins Out presuming Cameron or daniher on list.
Viney/crouch/higgins
Bruhn/Walsh
Henry
Zach Reid

Delist
Jenkins
Brownless
Fort
Atkins
Parsons
Simpson reluctantly
Zach Guthrie trade if possible
Use Jarvis and Kennerley as ADELAIDE trades if they match crouch or delist
Retire Taylor and Ablett
I agree with most but they like Atkins and Z Guthrie so can’t see them going. Also unlikely to see them get rid of Jenkins & Fort unless a Ruckman is coming!

I honestly dont believe Constable would walk into the best 22 of another side anyway, the guy just isnt that good, has never dominated a VFL game and with the Suns improving there isnt an easy option to get a game these days. If he does get a game somewhere im almost certain it wont be continuous and he will be back playing VFL before he knows it, he just looks lazy a lot of the time and a one way runner. Fogerty has more upside and thats saying a lot as i dont believe he is in our best 22 either.

I’d be staggered if they delisted Simpson. For mine, he’s looked better than Fogarty at AFL level this year.
 
I suppose. I guess cap floor means you need to, but I'm always a bit hesitant with players getting overs.

I agree but they have to spend 95 % of the cap so it has to go somewhere.

It is but it's worth the risk imo given how hard A grade KPF are to get.
