Kade Carey

[The Hulkster]

Watched most of the 2's game on Saturday.

I like to think i can pick talent when i see it, its a gift i have.

I really liked what i saw of Carey. He was quick for his size, took a good mark, kicked well and looked a likely type. He even had a bit of presence which is rare.

In short i think he can play and could be even worthy of a spot on our list which to be honest isnt crowded with key forwards.

The big question mark is his age which i think is 24. As a general rule we havent recruited players that old. But hey if he can play does it really matter.

What did everyone else think.

The very most i would suggest is to rookie list him for a year to see how he goes over an entire VFL season and proper preperation.

Is he to old for the rookie list? You must be under 23.

If he is not that would be a good idea.

He is a gun. When he was playing for Douttas you could see he was a cut above the rest. Loves to party which could be a concern.

Yeah heard his 'attitude' isn't great. Whatever problem that is though, could be anything.

we have the type of leadership group that would knock the attitude out of anyone..

I watched the game and he looked good. But at 24? Left the run too late. And as much as he looked good, Shannon Byrnes was BOG for mine. Enough said?

 

[couchy555]

See how he goes for the rest of the year. If he puts in more good games then possibly yeah. With their recruiting of the last few years if they thought he was good enough to be on the list i would be more than happy with that.

Lol, could we really have a Carey and a Gary ablett in the same team? Damm, be nice if that was the situation in the nineties.

 

[Exhale You]

He's obviously got a lot of natural talent, but he has long had issues with his character and commitment.

He's still a long way off being fit enough for even VFL level, but if we keep him around and he shows form, maturity and a willingness to work hard on improving his fitness, i'd be willing to at least entertain taking him late in the draft.

Isn't that an oxymoron

Him and Matty Spencer can form our star CHB/CHF duo...

Good footballer though.

Tearing up the WAFL.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

He can't kick for shite.

 

[Shmoses]

Isn't that an oxymoron

I think he was being literal. As in Shannon Byrnes was complete bog on the weekend.

 

[Jabso]

Quite average and pretty old. At least wait for him to deliver consistently. Not just a glimpse against a pretty fragile and undersized backman in Frost.
