One thing that seems clear is we have a surplus of KPP.
Was this SOS strategy from the get go similar to GWS as they hold trade value?
Casboult as a defender is quite the revelation. What I want us to assess by the end of the year is what is the best mix. Does having Casboult as a lock down defender get the best out of Marchbank and Weitering (more so than Jones in Cas role).
Goddard seems a good backup.
Jones would have the most value on the trade table. Gun defender. However if the backline as a whole functions better/on par with Cas then maybe we pull the trigger.
Now just thinking out loud, and I don't advocate for the below, but our tall forwards are in interesting situation too.
I want to know if Kerr can bring his VFL form to the AFL.
Kerr himself holds little trade value. Charlie and Harry huge huge trade value.
Obviously Charlie and Harry are better players I don't see us trading either.
However if Harry and Charlie give 9 Output and Kerr can give a 7. Would SOS consider trading one to fill other needs. Could snag a gun mid and small forward with their value.
Harry/Charlie on their own= 9
Kerr in VFL = 0
Total output in this scenario= 9
Kerr in AFL = 7
Traded in gun mid/ small forward = 8
Total output in this scenario = 15
Obviously that's all a hypothetical and there are other factors to consider, but if the total output of the team were to improve would SOS pull the trigger?
I think Kerr in afl would be less than 7/10.
I see where you are going with it but I can’t see Kerr being more than fringe/backup key forward for any afl team
