Preparation H

[MyManLynch]

With the pending departure of Harry/Heritier we need to prepare for life without him (on the footy field).
I believe that our line breaking player who must step up is Paul Seedsman.
He can become our 'take them on' man & pump the ball into our forward line to hands of Cloke, Reid, White or Clark.
He has pace, kicking skills & confidence. Just need to build his core a bit more over the summer.

My only worry with The Seed is his light frame. We are going to miss H's strength and mature body. Nice thread title BTW!

What about a fully fit Karnezis? I don't know much about him, but might not be a bad option to ease him in off the HBF at that intercept/go to player

Sign up Malceski for 2 years, would be perfect helping the young kids down there.

Lumumba for O'Rourke, who can then play half back and wing himself, as well as helping out the midfield.

O'Rourke could be a massive upgrade on H within 12 months.

Problem is does Lumumba want to go to GWS?

It doesn't really matter, trade him to the club he wants to go to, then on trade whatever we get for him to GWS, and throw in a sweetener if they want one.

I don't believe Collingwood are in serious contention for a flag in 2015/16 so a recruiting coup for a 30+ yo player doesn't fit out needs imo.

We may miss H's run, carry and breaking of the lines. But we wont miss his awful defending & turnovers.

Been sowing the seed for years young Paul. It is now time to flower.

From the moment this thread was started it just became a pain in the arse.

We have line breakers in Marley, Seeds and Sinclair. H's body size will be missed but not his defensive or disposal capabilities. Brown will return and Reid may return to CHB but we're still short a good solid third tall; I don't consider Keeffe or Toovey to be adequate replacements for Maxwell in that regard.

Yet somewhat soothing....

 

[jmac70]

What about me?

 

[beez]

I think the more pertinent question is whether the other 21 can rise to Seedo's levels?

 

[Chilli Con Incarnate]

It's time to plant the seed! We need him to put on a bit of bulk and become more consistent. If the consistency issue is related to fitness then we are in trouble, as he won't be bulking up.

Excellent new thread. It gives me the opportunity to express my dislike for Lumumba.

Don't knock it until you've tried it.

I suppose I should be happy that the thread title is not 'Operation: H'.

Harry O is the best thing that ever happened to this club - I know because he told me and we'll all miss him when he's gone!

You were just itching to get that one in.

Unsure on Seedsman. Next two years will tell the tail with him.

I'd like to see us recruit some experience in defence.

Of course you are... LOL

I'd like us to recruit at least half the current All-Australian team.

We had one.
