Can he 2nd ruck?

We desperately need a forward/ruck to replace Casboult

We don't need him (assuming Harry stays which we will). We need mids, esp gut running outside goal kicking types given the likely departures of Murphy, Dow and LOB in the trade period/retirement.

Im pretty sure they traded the pick GWS used to draft him to your team
Pies interviewed him 4 times prior to the draft and still didnt take him

Every club had a chance to pick him up and didn’t.

Will be interesting to see what he does.

A pick in the 30s currently as i see it 30-40. Not getting a game in a bottom 8 side. Had a pretty ordinary year although played out of position. I dont think GWS would be too concerned about losing him either with Himmelberg, Finlayson, Hogan, Sproule and a resting ruck like Flynn has looked good forward when Preuss returns next year. Not all can play together.

Pies, North, Dons would be the ones of most need i feel

Unless he can play as the central FF target, I don't think we'd be interested. We've got Jones playing well as the 2nd/3rd tall, with Eyre, Baldwin and maybe Reid as potentials. After taking 8 talls over the last 2 draft/trade period, I think we'll focus on smalls. We do need a Hooker replacement, but that could come from those I listed, and Riccardi doesn't sound like that's his gig.

Honestly he's not getting a game at GWS. If he wants to come back to Melbourne his options are North, Hawks and maybe Essendon. He needs to concentrate on cementing a permanent spot in GWS best 22 before he considers a move home however.

He is actually getting a game.

He is actually getting a game.

He's been in and out of the side, being dropped again for Round 13.

But he is getting games.

Would fit in well at Collingwood as that middle sized KPF target between Cameron and Mihocek. Still struggle to understand why we didn’t draft him when he was there for the picking…

Perfect for the Pies.

 

[The Nostradamus]

at north we need a chf to partner Larkey

Whod you list

He doesnt do enough. Does nothing defensively. His 2K time trial time in the preseason was phenomenal, beat most of our mids, yet he just stands there waiting for the ball to be kicked to him. Has played 3 good games at AFL level as the 3rd fwd on undersized defenders. Just doesnt work hard when its not going his way.

Terrible defensively, soft even.

Ah yes. It is coming apparent why he wasn’t picked up in his draft year

 

[Elmer_Judd]

Some concerning red flags. Could be another Mitch McGovern type. Buyer beware.

Concerning red flags? Where does Carlton sign?

In before he's at Carlton on $700k.

In before “we have Harry McKay so don’t need him” from Carlton folk

Is there some attitude issues?

Seems telling that Collingwood interviewed 4 times and decided against picking him.

Perhaps you can read into that they weren’t entirely happy with what was said in the interviews and gave him a few chances.

 

[Blackhawk42]

Attitude issues?

I guess he went to public school then?

 

[Colonial]

He has poor defence. No issues attitude wise.

Poor defence? fit in well at GWS then, after watching last weeks outing!
