Todd Elton

[The Rusty Trombone]

I think this guy is developing into his body very well considering the time he's been on out list. I was very pressed with the way he kept presenting against the Pies in the NAB Cup and reckon he'll be a monster next year.

With him , McBean , Griff and TV I reckon our big man stocks are impressive . I'd like to see him get at least 6 games this year but they don't have to be in a row. If we give him something to work with over the pre season I think he'll come through nicely .

 

[Cevap_Roll]

Future backmen.
Elton and Astbury to monster the forwards with Rance 3rd man up.

 

[RichoLedio]

I've been a big fan of his since we drafted him, but geez its going to be hard for him to crack a game in the next couple of years I think

Maybe so but he just kept leading in the Nab Cup which impressed the hell out of me. I think Griff has proved he can play down back in 2012 and lets not forget MCBean played CHB in Tac Cup which puts him on par with Trengrove (Port) .

Like I said we have the most impressive group of developing talls in the league I reckon.

The coaching staff have to be creative with these talls and give them the experience they need

Yep which is why I hope we only draft mids and rookie a developing ruck.

I hope they are, it just seems like there's an awful lot of competition and he's down the order a ways

 

[Bobsleder]

I think you will find GWS have that covered - they have about 6 young quality KPP 1st rd picks running around in their reserves, ready for other clubs to start trading early draft picks for.

 

[The Rusty Trombone]

Yes they do but for no con sessions we have

 

[Bobsleder]

Chaplins spot will be up for grabs by the end of this year or next year. Will he push for that spot? Surely mc Bean has to push for one of the key fwds roles in next 12-24 months. Would the club have the balls to offer vickery up so we can play a more mobile tall fwd?

Vickery is our next Ruckman. Will the club have the balls to make that his position is the question .

He's good mates with TV
Is this a good thing??

No TV has to have the balls to convince the coach that this is his position
TV has to now take the bull by the horns and start owning games of footy
He's capable enough but it's his lethargic attitude

 

[telsor]

Good player, but probably down too far in the queue to get much game time.

I imagine he'll be traded or, more likely, delisted (with a fair chance of being picked up by another club) at the end of the year.

 

[Blueyboy74]

Toddy ticks a lot of boxes. Just needs to toughen up a bit and get to a few more contests. Not saying he's soft - just not hard enough yet for a key position.

How big is this so called Bull ...?!?...

No chance he's delisted.

 

[sante]

Forward or Backmen?

 

[juss]

He's been on the list a couple of years now. He would want to either a) crack a few senior games before the end of the year or b) start to consistently dominate VFL. At the moment he isn't close to either.

 

[tigs2010]

Forward or Backmen?

Might be worth developing him into a big CHB. Might free Rance up to play a more rebounding role if he was to make it. Particularly with Jack, Ty, Griff and McBean as forwards. His kicking is crap for goal but seems alright around the field. We also don't have a marking defender.

He's a 3rd year tall. Deserves at least another year or two to prove himself and the signs are good

Exactly, he's a third year tall. The majority of those who will be any good are either getting some senior games or really impressing in the VFL. He needs to start doing one of those.

 

[theflea]

the vfl game I thought he did ok. needs another 2 year contract to test him.

 

[Blueyboy74]

A

Agree.

Reckon he really shows something as a pinch ruck too. Also reminds me a bit of Aaron Black from Nth and he didn't really come of age until 2013. He was drafted 2 years ahead of Todd.

Would probably want 3-5 games this year and 15+ in 2015

 

[Ancient Tiger]

I would be giving games to him instead of Chaplin, but that's just me.........
