Yes my question also. From what I have seen at training he is a seniors player, if he can't defend he won't last in a Lyon team.if he’s as good as you say he is then why was he delisted by Port?

0. I was watching the game and came across that moment so wanted to share with everyoneHow many hours did you spend searching to find that
It's the 150th game I imagine it's burnt into a few posters memoriesHow many hours did you spend searching to find that
Paton was a defender in his overage draft year…all Australian back pocket.
Twas me has a bit of Jack Crisp about him.
Wilson looks like a pure onballer to me? Feel like he'd be wasted on the wing.
This writing off of 21 yr old Max Heath is uncalled for. Its a well-known fact that big men take much longer to develop - Marshall was only just drafted at 21. Moose has almost 3 pre-seasons under his belt and is starting to show signs in the forward line with a couple of big hauls of goals. Can't forget that Row was drafted 2015, debuted in 2017, and really only broke out in 2019 as a full time ruck - at the age of 25, 4 years after he was drafted. Played as a key forward in 2017 & 2018, which is probably where Heath starts his career hopefully later on this year/early 2025, 3ish years on from when he was drafted.
Heath is taking a bit longer by way of years in the system compared to Marshall, but certainly is far ahead of 21 yr old Row. Heath was taken in the same draft as the likes of Ned Moyle (1 game), Jacob Edwards (delisted), Alex Mirkov (YTD), Lachlan McAndrew (2 games), Aidan Begg (3 games). The ones with games were all out of necessity and got dominated, so compared to them, Heath certainly isn't behind schedule.
We just need to be patient, and honestly, there is no rush at the moment as Row still seems to have plenty in the tank and we'll always have another mature backup ruck whether its Campbell or another recruit after Campbell moves on.
Early days yes, once matured can see him being an elite mid. Certainly don’t think he’ll “be wasted” in the meantime lolHe was drafted as an outside player predominantly. That usually means that contested footy isn't as strong in the skill set. His running prowess is so good that playing wing seems like a natural fit.
Highlight of a great year. Might be the highlight of the last decade, that finals win against the Dogs is a strong contender though.It's the 150th game I imagine it's burnt into a few posters memories
32:12. If Ronnie Byrnes could do this type of stuff week-in week-out, imagine how good of an inside midfielder he’d be for us!
He’ll likely start as a high half forward, effectively a third winger alternating with Hill or Henry.He was drafted as an outside player predominantly.

Thanks. I forgot his nameLewis Pierce?
Milney also played Forward Pocket his entire career and barely left the fwd 50.Milney had the body of a Bogan from the local pool after 12 pre seasons and it didn’t affect him too much.
Clark’s muscle definition isn’t the problem, it’s his bad luck with injury.
Care of g_mul on Twitter. Oh boy.

Was thrown around in the midfield/wing last year and it did him no favours.Paton strikes me that he has been playing without confidence since his leg break. Hopefully being thrown into the midfield improves his confidence and he gets a feel back to take the game on more. Before the injury he was projecting to be a much better player than he has shown , so hopefully he can get some form back.
Doesn't really answer the question does it?St kilda have been after him for 3-4 years.

His best chance of staying on a list is getting back to the small lockdown type he was before the broken leg.

3-4 years ago we had a different coach and direction.
Seemed Bonner was deliberately by SoS targeted after being delisted.
There is a reason they wanted him, I am not football savvy to understand their plans for him.

Firstly, it's Bonner, not Bonnar.Copper Sharman, Wood & Liam Stocker have all turned out ok. Do yourself a favour and go and check out Bonnar in match simulation next week and tell me he’s not in our best 22.
I honestly think Port are a top team and overstocked with his type, they went all in to get some key position players to have a crack at a flag. There’s only so many spots for certain types of players and good players can be 3,4 or 5th in line at top clubs and still be a very reliable player at other clubs.

Secondly, no one is saying Bonner cannot be in our best 22, its just that there are some parts to the game that you just cannot assess as an outside observer of training sessions; such as positioning, tactical setup etc. Everyone has said that his skills are looking good, and no one is doubting that, but skills aren't the only part you need to consider when evaluating a player. Clearly there are deficiencies to his game that meant he was delisted and also rejected by 16 other clubs during the DFA period before we picked him up at the PSD. Massimo D'Ambrosio is a beautiful kick of the ball, but Essendon opted to trade him because he just cannot defend at all.

Seriously who gives a flying Fig Tree whether its Bonner or Bonnar. Why do people get so hung up on this stuff. It’s a footy forum, not a spelling bee.Firstly, it's Bonner, not Bonnar.
