think injury prone is a term tossed about a little too easily - a broken thumb and a neck injury is hardly evil knievel territory....................

Not understanding why we would invite an injury prone player to train with us.

If anybody can get a player physically right then it's Andy Russell.

Webb's proven that he can play at the level if you can get his body right.

Russell would/will have done the checks and balances and gotten to know the intimate details of what he has to work with there before we even rookie him. If we do I like his chances.
 
I really like the idea of picking Webb up in the rookie draft. He is a low risk high reward, if he can get his body right. IMO he'll be in our best 22, he's can forward, back or inside mid (I think he's best position is inside mid) he's a very good kick and a solid intercept marker. I would like to see him rotate with Gibbons between midfield and forward.

Really over posters thinking other club's fringe players are best 22 for us. Our young list compares to GWS a couple of years ago, like saying Dyl Buckley should be best 22 for Giants.

Would rather Kye Quirk, Fisher or Anderson.

Webb's probably more comparable to Willo than DylBucks. Has ability, just needs a clean run at it. Would we say a fit Willo would walk into the best 22 at Gold Coast, St Kilda, Melbourne, Essendon, Adelaide, North etc? Hell yeah. The question is just on fitness.

You're also forgetting the broken leg at training this year. So he's had 3 periods of extended leave thanks to random serious injury. He's not injury prone in the sense of having bad hamstrings and that kind of thing - he's basically been involved in 3 serious accidents that put him out of footy for months at a time. Could argue he's "unlucky" rather than injury prone, but it's semantics really

I would be hoping at least 1 of those 3 get picked up.

Quirk has something about him I like. Old fashioned footballer who know how to get the nut.

If you extrapolate his sequence he's obviously due to break an arm
He's pretty keen to be training in neck brace and full leg plaster

What's so crazy about the idea that a fringe player can come good at another club? Happens all the time. Just recently at the Dogs, we've brought in fringe players in Crozier, Lloyd and Duryea, and all 3 are starting 22 and among our best players.

Liam Jones was bog average at the Dogs, but has been one of your most reliable players the last couple of years. Nic Newman just had a career best season with you guys after struggling for a consistent spot at Sydney

Webb has more talent than all 3 player you mentioned. If Webb had gotten his body right in the last 5 years he would be best 22 at the bulldog aswell. If we pick him and he's not injured in 2020 he'll have a bigger impact than any new player we'll bring in, Betts, Newnes, Pittonet, pick 9 and Martin.

we don't consider a broken leg an injury at carlton........
