Where do we play Coffield?
Are we going to go through the whole side?

Coff is probably battling for a spot against Highmore at the moment. He hasn't shown he can play the role of a running defender unfortunately.

Hind would take Hills spot on the back flank. Hind is a much better defender. Hill had some good games when we got the footy in his hands but is a liability as a defender unfortunately.

Honestly, anyone that genuinely thinks Hind wouldn't get a game in our side is a fool.
 
I heard that they had pretty much promised him the job then a whole lot of various interests threatened a spill and they shat themselves and decided on a "process". I think Lyon just started to realise he'd climbed into a snake pit of idiots and scrambled back out. Carlton coaching gigs look good from a distance but they have so many stupid people with a lot of clout that it's never a good place to land.
Caaarlton, ever the entitled mob

Correct, You can always play 2 good half back flankers in the one team- no problem at all ( I dont include Hill) It will be a watershed moment for Coffield in 2022 and probably a couple of others.
 
To be honest and this is my 2 cents, I think the style of game we play impacted how we use him with Ratten.

under Richo that last season. We went that Melbourne style of numbers around and behind the ball and tried to slingshot.

makes it easier to play a smaller tall like battle at CHB.
Ratten/Rath have us playing a very attacking style, where we openly encourage players to cheat a contest to run forward.

that means you need to win 1:1s to get the ball back. Hurts Battle as he would be standing a Tom Lynch as an example without support.
So they have opted to use him as a link on the wing or a high half forward as a mismatch for the opposition and try to use Battles tank as a strength.
That would be understandable if we didn't have to use Wilkie as a key defender. Wilkie is almost an inch shorter than Battle.

He's probably better in that role for the short term but I think if we had have chosen to develop Battle similarly to how Sydney have with MacCartin we may have seen some good results.

I could be wrong obviously, but right now I think a key defender is still one of our biggest needs for this list.
 
I'll counter 2 x roos with a Locket and a Loewe
Yes true, but a slightly different era and Roo could play both back and foreward with a huge tank. Roo also had Kosi, but couldn't play like Roo.

Maybe I'm going a bit overboard thinking the Kings are like Roo. Different player types.

Where does Highmore play? Thats the point. We lost Hind because he was going to be behind a few. He is not better than Sinclair, Coffield or even Highmore. We would not be a better team with him.
 
Does world Soccer have a Salary cap?
To get something really big in AFL you have to give up something.
Do you think it didn't cost Sydney big time to get Buddy?
Financial fair play is ****ing with a lot of clubs. Plus Real Madrid and Barcelona are shadows of themselves now with the salary cap in play at La liga.
Hw many times during the naughties dis you think to yourself, gee I wish we had two Riewoldts. Well we can get our wish.
I always imagined one on the wing and one up forward. Then I’d wake up just before the siren went in the granny. Mess in my pants.

I agreed it’s a huge need. Just not sure Battle fills that need.
If we don’t get a Talia or a Tarrant. He might be the best alternative we have.

Yes we would. As I said, he's a better option than Hill he spent the 2nd half of the year there because he's also a good defender.

If Coff is good enough he gets a game, same with Highmore.

We have plenty of 3rd tall options right now, especially if we find a key defender in place of Wilkie.

I think whether we can play all of Wilkie, Highmore and Coffield in that role is a different discussion though.

I'm not sold that works.

Disagree. No he is not. You are overselling Hind like crazy

I'd take Talia but I know where I'm really looking.

Matthew Allison - 196 cm, sub 3 second for the 20 metre sprint and 6.17 for the 2km time trial.

So a taller faster more athletic version of Josh Battle.
 
It’s the the most used tactic in world soccer.
The big clubs launch these types of campaigns in the media 12-18 months before a player actually joins.

plus, I bet you had no issue with the amount of pandering we did to Roo during his career.

we are talking about 2 generational talents at the club. I don’t think we have ever had 2. We had Lockett. We had Roo.

but never 2 locketts or 2 Rooeys.
Imagine in 04-10. One Rooey at half forward and the other deep. Sharman and Membrey legit become one on one threats. Higgins Butler Gresham get to run amok and have to worry about ensuring they are applying pressure for most of their deep 50 ball and Not worrying about when they get their next meal as there are 2 big talks that will attract so much attention that they just need to be at the fall of the ball half the time.


It sounds like we are removing the annoying midfield and going to play a team of forwards.
 
As I’ve already said. There would have to be something monumental that occurs for him to leave this off-season.

ambassador payments. Suns needing to show they are legit andtrying to play finals in 2022 etc.

What I think will happen…

They’ll miss finals next year.
dew will get sacked
King and a few others leave
They poach Clarko and pretty much they rebuild again. But they have the GOAT of the modern era leading this rebuild. Probably have half the top 10 picks next year.


What if they make finals and we drop off?

Honestly, anyone that genuinely thinks Hind wouldn't get a game in our side is a fool.

So the player that we drafted as a flanker who may be able to make midfield, can now only play as a third rate , short, tall defender.

If that's true, he's a washout, time to cut our losses.


This is what we drafted.
------------------------------
STRENGTHS

  • Athleticism
  • Work in tight spaces/evasiveness
  • Efficiency
  • Versatility
  • Leadership
Coffield tested as one of the fastest players in the draft pool with a sub-three second 20m sprint time. Add to that his sizable vertical leap, 190cm frame and strong hands, and you have a ready-made AFL athlete. The most promising thing about Coffield is that he combines his athletic traits with a high-level football IQ, which has inevitably seen him draw comparisons to Scott Pendlebury.

Like the Collingwood skipper, Coffield provides a cool head amidst the mayhem of stoppages, weaving his way through traffic and turning on dimes. His clearance work has improved out of sight this year and more midfield time has really aided that side of his game. And with one of the most accurate kicks in the TAC Cup this season, Coffield’s efficiency has seen him stand out even more as clubs at the top level try to claim the best ball users.



 
Yes we would. As I said, he's a better option than Hill he spent the 2nd half of the year there because he's also a good defender.

Wilkie Howard Webster

Coffield Highmore Sinclair


cant find room for battle, Clav, Paton or Allison

I guess it would be more like Kennedy and Darling. There are only so many forward 50 entries, converting more than you miss makes a huge difference but Kosi was used as a deep forward target to pull the play in around him which left room out wide for Rooey to run free.

Kosi was very lucky to have Schneider and Milne yappin round his ankles.

McCartin has always been a good mark from day 1 that is the difference.
