Number 39 - Casey Sibosado (Pick 3 2008 RD)

I think with out KPP depth he will probably be promoted to the senior list.

Atleast I hope he is otherwise what would be the point of not delisting him unless you were going to upgrade him.

IIRC he has to be upgraded, been on the rookie list for the max amount of years.

 

[Chops_a_must]

No chance.

I think they are simply waiting to see what else is around as the draft/trade period progresses.

 

[Nickos66]

Tradebait. Worst case scenario they'll help him out by getting him listed with another team with a 5th rd trade or something.

Why would they trade him for a 5th rounder? What would be the point?


Given they have already de-listed Houghton you would have a feel they are looking at keeping him. Who knows but he he looks lick he has the tools, just not the heart.

 

[IAMJUNGLEMUFFIN]

Yeah, well you'd think if we haven't delisted him like we did the others, we'll be keeping him, so upgrade it is.

 

[Nickos66]

My point is that we'd trade purely as goodwill, to keep the kids' dream alive. Kinda like how Collingwood gave Brisbane pick 90 something for Corrie a couple of years back.. Not that it did much for him.

 

[Kram]

Eagles did the same thing with McKinnley to Norf for pick 86.

 

[Nickos66]

That's right yeah, they did.

Pretty much a combination of both I reckon.

Well I thought he showed enough in the last game to give him a berth for a year. Really showed something as a forward.

So did Hinkley a couple of years a go. Final games of the year that mean nothing cannot always be used to judge players.

A bit different - Hinkley has always had a major skill deficiency which limits his potential (Which as many on this forum believe, cannot be fixed), whereas Sibosado is good skill wise and has good aerobic athletic traits, which provides a good foundation for improvement. I believe that he can improve his deficiencies of endurance, so long as his attitude is good.

 

[Chris25]

I believe that he can improve his deficiencies of endurance, so long as his attitude is good.

How long does he need? Endurance has been his problem since he was drafted, yet three years on and not much has changed. That's just awful for a rookie listed player, who should be doing everything possible to prove their worth.

 

[Ysaye]

I am informed that Talls take a while. Given that super endurance isn't a requirement of position anyway, it really comes down to mental application as to how much time I would give him. Is he seen to be out there trying to improve, or is he not that interested?

Lulz!!!!
