I must admit I was very impressed by his U18 highlights package: appeared to have all the attributes: height, speed, marking. Sometimes the physical attributes however, run a poor second to motivation, character, work ethic etc. I guess that's why we employ experts to do the recruiting!
He seems unwilling to make a contest and doesn't work hard enough to compensate for that.

Looking at the afl's write up of delisted players and who could use them. I saw that Watson might be worth it for a rookie option in case both redpath n toyd go down. I know the knocks are his tank n speed but I don't like dogs resorting to using roughy or Campbell mainly in the forward line or even a first year player.

All this talk about picking up Majak, given Norf have committed to rookie him, imagine the LOLs if we did beat them and grabbed him. We 'stole' Ballarat and now Majak.

Bloke cannot impact a development game against a 5'10 defender
Weak when going into contest
Can only run and only gets it from not going into contests

Waste of a spot in any forms of draft
Wasn't there comparisons between him and Chris Grant when he as in the draft.

now all these undersized key forwards & been compared to Stringer
You know you have made it as a player when they start using you as
a comparison point, unless of course it's because you are shit. As a mid
he has the agility of Glen Coleman, He has the thirst for body contact
of Ayce Cordy and the most developed body iv'e seen since Jarrad
Grant. He has the penetrating kick of Daniel Cross and the soft hands
of Will Minson.;)

When need to start drafting player that take over from Dickson ,Stuart Cramere both are enter their last 4-5 off playing good football .
We have just plugged that hole, lets concentrate on getting at least 1" or 2 key position players and a decent ruck first. Then we can stock up on inside midfielders for 4 or 5 years and then small to medium forwards

I was a big knock on Redpath but you can't knock the blokes endeavour. Is a pretty good shot at goal and after another preseason will be more competitive - remembering he's only a year or two off his knee reco.
I take your point but it's actually closer to five or six years since he has his knee reco, not one or two.
He's been on our list since 2012 after his knee reco and I'm pretty sure he would have played a full year of footy before we drafted him.

Farren Ray must be picked up!!!
Finals next year guys we need more experience
not saying he will start every game but some of the youngguns will struggle and Ray brings that elite outside game
goals from the midfield cant be underrated

sorry i accidentally pressed gws at the start.
Unsure of how to change it
Bonty and Macrae will play inside but Ray brings outside xfactor
