Already annoyed at him for missing that set shot round 2....
Just let him clear the runway for the playmakers. Doesn’t need to be a star.

Seen bits of Cameron play against us he would bring pace to our inside brigade of slow midfielders the guy can play just hasn't got his body right

I see CEY as mature stop gap while players like Ely mature and hit their peak.
CEY could play next year and provide us a deeper midfield, but by year 3 of his contract he could be playing ressies if others step up.

Found this too ! I'm sold !
Many probably thought the same of Lyons at the start of this year.
CEY might be the slowest player in the comp. Decent player - great inside the contest, doesn't offer anything on the outside. With his injury history, I can't believe we'd offer him 4 years though.

Worst case he's the 40th player on our list that murders Aspley nerds. Not a bad move.
If he comes in and does a job consistently then he could go from potential whipping boy to fan fave like Robbo.
The tough guy protecting Lachie, Zorks and Clug.
I'm sort of intrigued because I don't really know him much at all .
He looks a bit of a beast in the photos
Slowest player in the comp. That doesn't sound good .
Simon Black was slow .
Maybe we can package him up with Jenkins and get the two slowest players in the comp in one go.

this article might help a bit.
- high contested footy winning mid (tick)
- very good inside (tick)
- prone to handballing too quickly
- ability to seek out the fittest player in list and do pre-season with him to improve running (tick)
3 years old article but with that kind of attitude/mindset, I think he'll be fine with us.
Well it turns out that he hasn't quite gotten to the Fyfe level yet as they hoped.

But I always fancied if we got Fyfe it might improve our team so hopefully we can bring it out in him.
I think Lyons had a far better CV and we knew he would slot in straight away and be better than any other options we had and useful at worst.
On the other hand we're likely to be paying CEY a lot less and one thing I do like is that he hasn't played that much so if we can get his body right who knows.

people whinging about CEY are probably the same nuffies who whinged when we got Robbo up here. And Mcarthy, and Adams....

Tex is slow. JJ is one of the quickest in the team. Maybe you thinking of Tex.

Just on Lisle winning the goal kicking, he plays deep forward in a top 4 team and is smart footballer who can juggle marks, get groundball goals. He just cant run at an elite level thats why he didnt make it in afl, good player though. Make no mistake, the vfl is best comp outside of afl.

I've seen him described as 'quick' and being able to offer run and as 'slow'.. are you able to offer clarification?

Don't know too much about CEY... but the few games I watched of his I was surprised at his presence and power through the middle. I remember thinking this guy is very good.
Hopefully we get his body right and get his consistency up.

From games I have seen of him I have never thought slow I genuinely thought he looked quick and combined with Han size looks a bit of a beast . Always wondered why he hasn’t played more games clearly his body has let him down . Even if he is on 400k that pretty much replaces what Bastinac on and in mind mind he offers a skill set more suited to afl finals . At 27 if he gets his body right could well be another astute pick up also need to remember this hasn’t cost us a thing at the trade table .

Do you really blame anyone for not wanting Robbo given his reputation off the field?

Yes coz in Fagan we trust. He had the foresight to recruit him years before he even joined the club!

I've never watched him but he reminds me of Martin Pike

To me CEY is a vanilla big bodied midfielder, hasn’t got any real standout feature other than his inside game, isn’t the quickest , not the best runner etc. He does fit our game style thou, seems to have good pressure around the ball, clearance and contested possession, really does feel like Lyon 2.0
Club must see him filling a role or wouldn’t offer him that 4 years. Also with most of our reserve players, Bastinac, Robertson, Keays, Taylor, Cutler and Lester futures still unknown, having a mature, afl exposed player in that 18-25 list range is important too.
Shaping up as an interesting trade period, we seem to be avoiding getting into any type of bidding war and looking at the cheaper options. We cooled on Greenwood when he starting getting more attention / asking for that amount of cash, then CEY became an option. I really like the potential Ah Chee recruitment, the Suns stating multiple times about their Salary Cap issues, someone like Ah Chee is the perfect target to squeeze. Wouldn’t fit in their untouchable category, while other teams are pitching to Martin and the suns try to deal with him, we can potentially walk away with a very talented player on the cheap.
Interesting to see what the club has planned for our first two picks, if we have a draftee we like or have another player in our sights.
