Did we just miss the mid-season draft too? FFS
Don't worry, we would've just wasted the pick on a mid-late 20's SANFL player only to delist him at the end of the year anyway.

Did we just miss the mid-season draft too? FFS
At least the likes of Borlase and /or Keane might get a look in in some form. Worrel in for Doed's but his body lets him down.Did we just miss the mid-season draft too? FFS
Possibly .....have we seen any evidence though any leadership qualities .....it's hard to tell, as it was with DawsonYou've also mentioned our lack of leadership in defence, that there isn't a marshall there to organise structures and lead. Minimal presence or direction from Butts and Murray. Maybe we see Redman as being able to fill that role
Of course, it depends on what Redman's role is .....the ESS defence is not that great for tallsRedman has coaches votes in 7 out of 11 games prior to this round, with only Dawson and Laird having more votes for us, and Merrett for Essendon. So basically you're saying every game where he isn't 'very average' he's in the best half dozen players on the field as judged by the coaches. Which seems like pretty high praise to me.
Darcy Moore and Billy FramptonPossibly .....have we seen any evidence though any leadership qualities .....it's hard to tell, as it was with Dawson
Defensive leadership is very important though, and I still think we have too many "quiet" types in key posts
Both Rutten and Talia were leaders & organisers back there
Correct, nothing to enthuse about yet, Borlase clearly better to this point.You can see what Keane can do in the SANFL, and it isn't enough.
I agree re Moore's defensive organisation is great .....I just don't see it with Murray / Butts though ....we'll miss Doedee from a leadership perspective down there.Darcy Moore and Billy Frampton
I remember my Floggingwood supporting mate asking me about how Frampton would go last year. My response was that he'd probably be ok. Lepitsch has a history of simplifying roles for defenders.
Moore is extremely good at organising the defence on field. They have a settled back 6 with Moore, Maynard, Quaynor, Noble. Add Daicos playing off of HBF and good midfield support.
Frampton still looked like a deer in the headlights on occasion in the first couple of games I watched with him playing a KPD. But its seemed to working for them
Both Butts and Murray are probably both completely absorbed in their own roles/games right now. Perhaps it a time/experience thing.I agree re Moore's defensive organisation is great .....I just don't see it with Murray / Butts though ....we'll miss Doedee from a leadership perspective down there.
They often don't look that bad. Sometimes you get the really obvious ones like Sloane's but not always. You often see them walking around afterward too which gives you the impression it's not that bad.Oof, this is tough news for Tom. I didn't think it looked that bad on Saturday night.
Get better soon.
Of course, it depends on what Redman's role is .....the ESS defence is not that great for talls
The stat I'm aware of is that Redman suffers more in ESS losses than wins .....strange really, because defenders usually do better when the ball is in their zone more
And the ESS defence has been chipping it around more in DEF, where other sides are exiting the D50 quickly ......that pads the Defenders stats

If I have to explain them to you ...then it would be too long an explanationThis screenshot proves what exactly? You've literally just shared Essendon's results and Redman's fantasy stats
I haven't ever considered Redman for my supercoach team. Tim Watson rates Redman who is a fairly good judge. Just moved into the top 6k for supercoach. My goal is the top 1k.If I have to explain them to you ...then it would be too long an explanation
BTW they're the ranking points Champion Data use to rate players .....rightly or wrongly ....however they should be dovetailed with SC stats which IMO are more in-depth, and add to the picture
According to Essendon supporters, he is a leader so could possibly getting Dawson 2.0.Possibly .....have we seen any evidence though any leadership qualities .....it's hard to tell, as it was with Dawson

Different knee.Have they said if it's the same knee just re-injured. Both knees could spell career.
