Where has that come from? Kid was just cracking best 22 and finally showing a bit towards the end of last year (look at his rd23 game against the dogs - his best)

He did his elbow day one session one of the pre-season. 6-8 month injury. Came back, worked his way back into it through the NEAFL as anyone who has been out for that long would (bar Ablett, but you know... that's Ablett). Now he's back in the seniors having earned his way there.

It's not like he's been starved of opportunities and languishing in the Magoos all year.

Next year he'll job share with Joel Patfull as Patfull winds down his career and bows out a champion at the end of the season. After that he takes over that slot full time having learned a great deal and improved his game.

What on earth makes you think he wants out?
To be honest I agree with u and afterwards I thought I was a bit rash on Plowman.Hes appears a great kid and i meant to link Plowman in with Marchbank and Corr as Patfulls career whinds down.Having said that all these players cant fit into a back 6.I love the Giants and really respect all these backline players.However when I assess our team when doing this its more fun for me doing it from a list management perspective rather than a loyal supporters perspective.Really we have 10+ players capable of playing well in our back 6 but a player may view this and see more opportunities at another club.As well i think and I know a lot dont agree with this but we may need another taller , experienced bigger bodied defender to take the monster forwards for a year or two eg Lake.Just play him for 15 games a year while Corr, Plowman and Marchbank develop.

Arguably our best back 6
Shaw Davis Williams
Haynes Patfull Buntine

Backup key defender
Plowman, Marchbank,Corr Mohr.

Back up Running types defenders
Wilson Kennedy Hampton.

Surely its not inconceivable(I dont think he will) that someone like Plowman asks to be traded.

Corr will play more games next year than Davis, who always gets injured.
Plowman will play as many as Patfull, who (let's be honest), is slowing up alarmingly.
Marchbank is needed as cover to Corr/Plowman/Haynes should either of these 3 also go down.
And Tim Mohr is an unknown quantity, kept on out of goodwill.
Theres a place there for all those players.

Yeah I agree the ones of a quality back 6 is there and worth persisting with

Was actually looking at the draft year of Davis and while he has only played 76 games all the other top 10 from that draft have played between 100-140 games but some guys like Davis are just unlucky. On Patfull he just came back to early from injury and was playing a bit hurt but prior to that injury was actually playing high level footy.
 
Just wanted to see what peoples thoughts are on what role Patfull will play next season, he has been fantastic this year getting the job done especially with the avalanche of inside 50s and various injuries to defenders
You're totally my best friend now.
