Going to play forward this year?
don’t think this will work out
don’t think this will work out
think its more trying to give players more than one skill so we can rotate 12 or so players through the midfield.
We have a lot of players now who play dual positions and go through the midfield.
Could work well or could be a disaster not having a set position.
Houston, DBJ, Westhoff backman all go through the midfield
Rozzee Robbie Butters Forwards who go through etc
I had a holden camira........best that happened was when it got cleaned up and written of.
When I say cleaned up, it was parked on the for of the road and some dumbass managed to hit it.
Such a shame really.
To be honest pushing a shopping trolled into my camira would also have written it off.

With his disposal, he'll have a Will Langford-esque set shot percentage.

I expect it will work as well as when Boak and Ebert played forward.
If he's not traded next year, my guess is Wines is the midfielder of choice for next year.
Port would have been better off trading SPP when they made the play for Rocky, knowing full well there were enough inside mids before Rocky. At least SPP had peaked in value. They then could have kept Wingard who is a much better player than SPP.
Alternatively, not make the play for Rocky / Motlop and keep Polec who is better than both of them

38% in 2019 - yikes
I guess Voss can see something else in him than kicking goals
At the draft combine we went 30/30, the only player to do so from memory ?
His disposal isn't as bad as people make out, he has the tendency to rush his disposal. When he doesn't do that, he can actually kick quite well.

I don’t think you can compare a scenario at the draft combine, where you have no immediate pressure on you (bar the clock, of course), with an in-game scenario where you have different kinds of pressure on you?
Of course its different, my point is he has the ability. He's also displayed an ability at AFL level to kick goals from outside 50 on multiple occasions (which isn't something you do if you cant kick)

He is one of those guys like Dangerfield was when he was young (not comparing them outside of this) that needs to lower his eyes, take a slowing step, before kicking. If he can do that he will improve his kicking a lot.
Unless there is a massive fallout with coaches and the club, I can't see him moving clubs.
However, if he is on the move, I'd be very happy to see him playing in the Navy Blue.

That's one way to bring Richmond back to the pack.

It's obvious that he didn't "fall" in the draft - clubs knew he had significant deficiencies in his game.
This is what he is, which isn't going to be useful for many clubs.

Players don't just suddenly learn how to improve their disposal and decision making in their 20s. He is what he is - a solid midlist footballer, who'd make some 22's and not others.

Mitch Robinson, who SPP plays like, improved massively when he moved to Brisbane.
It can happen.
