Mainly that he’s younger and seems a bit more mobile.
Whomever might be down on form.
Sturt didn't come in for injuries late last year as far as I could see. Switkowski and Schultz were playing in that run and we had Amiss, Treacy (and Corbett) in the side as well. Ironically he most likely came in to replace Banfield who had hit the skids.
He's averaging 16 touches and 1.3 goals a game this year. Only 4 less shots at goal than Treacy.
Darcy was out. And like I said Banfield and Voss (Corbett) have overtaken him this year.
Reading here I am beginning to think that we are the inly club that makes mistakes with disposal.
I think I am going to have to stop watching all games to come down to the conclusion lots are making here.
I wonder what I will do on weekends only watching one game, two teams and only seeing that rabble purple mob make mistakes

They know how old any player they draft is and every player on our list for that matter.
Doesn't change the fact that his age makes him more vulnerable to get delisted than a younger player even if you think that difference is minimal.
Personally I think he's a touch overrated on here. I don't think he should be delisted but I'd honestly find a decision to give him a two year contract more bizarre than him getting delisted.

Banfield earned his spot in the 22...I didnt want him there at the start but he won me over with his performances this season.
"Overtaken" is a fickle classification. It can change for any number of reasons. A late '23 edition Sturt is a more than handy addition to the side (as would be a '22 edition O'Driscoll... although it is more than a bit distant in the rearview mirror right now).
"Darcy was out"? Cone on.
They have overtaken him in this point in time as proven by team selection. Sturt is yet to show enough to earn his spot back in the team over those who have been chosen ahead of him. Simple as that.
Darcy was out. What's hard to understand? Darcy out means an extra forward in the side.
Don't think there's anything in our NGA that's even close tbh. Don't think that'll be a problem for Williams.
If it's another Category B rookie it'd probably be an overseas players (Irish most likely) or a non registered player. We'd probably need to start this recruiting process in the background now. Williams has come a long way so I doubt we're starting to plan to cut him already.
Pretend we drafted Johnson at 10 and Ras at 21 and we have 6 wins.
I'd also count Weller and Cerra as ties cause they got us AB and Jye

I don’t really see Amiss and Sturt in the same team.
They are essentially similar as leading forwards with an accurate set shot, only Amiss is the much better player.

Nod hasn’t fired a shot in two years really, I’m not calling for anyone to be delisted (well, maybe Hughes because the discussions I was having with people at the start of the year annoyed me), I’m saying what I think will happen. Sturt is lucky he plays in a position we have no quality and a best 22 about to retire.
Noddy is basically behind Sharp, Stanley (from what I can tell) and any other mid they can rotate through a wing (JOM, Johnson, Ras, Brayshaw).
We do this every year, there will be 7 leave the list at least and that’s being generous and including the two that have basically been delisted already.
And frankly, you’re just a Sturt hater now and jump on people saying anything positive about the guy. I even said he was in the firing line

They could have played him on the weekend and played Reidy forward/ruck, basically only had one tall though a couple of mediums in Bell and Sturt.
I wouldn’t be against it and think Reidy might leave anyway but I can see them trying to keep Reidy for a year. Main thing was if they are delisting Tabs, Corbett and Kirk then it’s basically just Voss and Jones (if they re-sign him). Reidy provides some pseudo KPF depth by helping keep Jackson forward
Losing NOD would be sad, he's such a heart and soul player.
He's a bit of a difference too, decent pace, gut running and knows how to kick a goal. I was hoping we would trial him more into the middle with Stanley and Sharp taking wing spots

It's a bit of a straw clutch. A few degrees of separation between Darcy and Sturt. As I said Banfield could of stayed in.
Sturt's been injured. That gets you "overtaken" when you've yet to cement a spot. It's a fluid thing and there's no guarantees.
Nod has been dealing with an injury this whole year. Which really means he's had one season where he didn't fire a shot. He actually looked good when he was playing injury free in the practice match. Not to mention he has a whole seasons' body of work where he was a key player in a side that made finals.
I'm a Sturt hater thanks to the people on this board that put him on a pedestal compared to literally any other player. Every injury Sturt gets earns him another season on the list despite the fact that he hasn't broken into our b22. What have I said that's been wrong? Has he not been overtaken by Banners and Voss this year? He had a little purple patch in rounds 21-22 last year but apart from that he hasn't been a better goal scorer than even Banfield.

Banfield was out due to injury recovery, pretty sure Walter’s missed as well.
I cannot fathom how someone can hate a player of their football team so much that you can quite literally post 30 to 40 times a week when his name is brought up. It's staggering.
Ignore button mate. It's your best friend. I have no personal problem with Sturt and wouldn't be arguing so much about him if there was even one other balanced opinion of him on this board.
Can't help but draw the inference it is personal.

I don't mind Sturt but he probably is a bit overrated on here.
But why you would hate him or any other player is something I don't get.

Weird hill to die on.
It is not personal in the slightest. I would love absolutely nothing more than for me to come out of the end of this with egg on my face after he cements his spot in our forward line. I just don't think that Sturt is the type of player that will fix our forward line problems because he's way too similar to Amiss in the way that he scores and he doesn't do enough without the ball.
Everyone else on here seems to think he's the messiah that will magically fix our forward line problems. You judge him on a different criteria than other players. Brodie for example, is justified in not getting a game becuase he's too one dimensional (even though he was extremely good at that one role), but Sturt should get a game even though he is one dimensional too?
I'm don't reply to other critique on players as much because most of them are fair and balanced and so I've got nothing to add.
