My Boy Draft 2022: Pick 16, ghostdog

 

[ghostdog]

Happy to have some midfield depth. Not too excited otherwise. He either plays on a wing or we try to convert him into the inside bull that we didn't recruit. I haven't seen any good reviews of his defensive abilities yet; a lot of Lions supporters point to his inability to play a full ground system of team defence. If so, Rutten has work to do.
A soldier.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I’m really happy with this pick. Reminds me a lot of another tall winger/hbf Brisbane didn’t rate in Crisp.

No shame being overlooked for Robinson who had a career best year and offered something that suited their game plan more rolling into the stoppages.

He’ll be best 22 opposite Zaha.

 

[Keystone agony]

He plays ahead of Ham this year who was clearly not physically ready for AFL.

That's it he gives Ham and Mutch time to develop. Both can develop in flanks aswell

He also puts alot if pressure on Zaharakis position in best 22 and I hope it's the reignition of Zaharakis. Zacks stepped up when in the crisis we need him to get back to some of his best again. It was only 16 months ago he was comfortably leading our B+F

Cutler's issue is decision-making - At times he struggles in the furnace of AFL footy.

 

[VelvetSledge]

He'll bring in some more young women into the memberships, too! What a good looking rooster

Whilst I was initially going to write something witty, on reflection, i wouldn't put it past Professor X giving the directive to prioritise a financial decision over a football decision.

The faster we dilute saga depth, the better. Welcome Thomas Cutlass

 

['51 Bewick]

For those who don't think Cutler works both ways, take a look at the tackles

 

[Vindicater]

Basically a free hit. Hopefully he turns out useful.

A soldier who not an ineffective plodder, how very un-Essendon.

 

[brutus76]

Seen a lot of Tom here in Brissy.
Big fella. Goes in hard and fast.
Works his ****** backside off. Runs both ways and tackles well.
Not a downhill skier unlike some Bomber players.
Needs to work on his finishing for goal and maybe get a bit of aggro.

 

[owen87]

Plays ahead of Ham or Mutch on a wing in 2020 as a natural outside player, think Ham will be the best of that lot over time but needs more size to really make an impact each week. Mutch is really an unknown, hope he gets a clear run at things in 2020 to see how he goes.

Wouldn't mind Cutler on one wing and Ham on the other as Zaharakis comes to the end.

Happy with this one, minimal cost for a player that should be immediate best 22 depth in a role we don't have a lot of options in. Also a good size and age to offer upside.

 

[revival_mode]

happy to take a punt on him, not like we had to give much up. if he can fill a solid role for us on a wing it will certainly help

 

[cAsEy_18]

I know people have their doubts about Jok and his limitations, but aren't we kind of trying to make him a wingman? Jok and Cutler as 2 tall wingmen could be a minor, but intriguing point of difference for us.

 

[Paul_Barnard]

Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane.
I love Disco, but this has list clogger all over it.
Another defender unable to find a regular spot in the back 6 who we will 'successfully' transform into an ineffective midfielder.

 

[DERO]

New hotness

 

[JayJ20]

Let the painful process of trying to turn him into an inside mid begin.

 

[fishardansin]

I had a chat with a well known Brisbane poster who is a work mate..He thinks it is an excellent pick up for Essnedon. Natural wingman with a huge tank, 6'3 and well built. Only knock on him is he is too attacking and doesn't use his tank to run back into defence! Amazing kick.

You do know he's a winger right?

Put the pipe down, Paul.

Has been and always been listed as a wingman.

 

[CBombers17]

Maybe start big Tom in the back pocket and he can sprint to half way then kick it through the big sticks into the second tier - rinse repeat.

FMD he's like 5 meters tall

That's great, should be well suited to our brand of football.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Can we turn him into an inside midfielder?
