Day will be a wasted senior list spot unfortunately

You seem to be spending a lot of time thinking about the vary last spot on the list. It highly unlikely to be our downfall if it doesn't work out.

It's the kind of spot that makes or breaks a team Belgo!

 

[Dalions]

If we draft one of Beecken or Craven in the National draft it would leave a spot for Day on the rookie list.

Can we upgrade someone like Will Mclachlan or does that mean we lose a pick in the ND.

Yes. And Yes.

YOU know that Day is 33 next year yeah? He's never taken a season by storm those expecting him to realistically take the heat of Hipwood it's not going to happen

No one expects that. He's a break glass if needed backup. And most likely a 1 year rental.

I don't expect him to start in the best 22 at the beginning of the season.

If he ends up in our best 22, it's because Ryan's not up to it. Nor is Henry Smith. And Fagan really wants to play 2 genuine tall forwards and Morris.

Quite willing to wait and see who that is that's expecting that. I'm betting it's actually no one.

Day is a cheap and experienced player in a high demand area we had little depth and then suddenly had even less mature depth. He may not even get a game next year depending on game plan and injuries - but the same will likely be true of Gallop and whoever we look at with what would've been our last pick in the 60s or whenever.

Well gee, I expected him to take the heat off Hipwood, start every game, win the Coleman and the Norm Smith, swim across the Bass Strait, create peace in the Middle East and colonise Mars. I'm sad to hear you don't share my optimism.

Can't wait to see Sam win a premiership medal and for Fish to write a story with the title: Every Lion Has Its Day: How Former Sun Spearheaded Lions To Back-To-Back

Day turns 33 on 6th Sep 2025.
So, he will play most of the year as a 32-year-old. Not young but still a reasonable age for a KPF
Whether he plays in the seniors or VFL is anyones guess. Assuming we pick him up of course.
Lester and Zorko older.
Neale is 32 in May, Fort & McCarthy 31 basically for the season.

I trust our medical and conditioning staff to get him as right as can be done.
2023: 20 games. 17 VFL, 3 AFL
2024: 13 games. 8 VFL 5 AFL. Last game 24/8/2024 being a loss to Frankston in Wildcard round.

We can only take what we can get for free.
Day needs a lifeline, 12 months with a trigger or 2 years should be the deal.
Being in the premiership window i would rather take someone like Day rather than go to the draft or Ireland to complete our list.

If Sam helps to take us to the next step and finally win the highly coveted McClelland trophy it will be well worth it.
