He has an aerial game that Ruscoe lacks. The more I think about it the more it feels like they’re trying to get him as that medium tall intercept defender we’ll need to replace Howe when he calls time.
Thanks for basically repeating what I said about excessive competition for spots in the forward line I guess..?
Agree, reckon he's more a replacement for Kelly - improves the list.
Yes please. If Kelly survives this list management cycle, the system is rigged and we need to stop counting on it.
I would think Murphy is first in line for Howe’s spot as third tall, with Ryan. Frampton and Dean as the other tall. Noble back up for Quaynor and wingers.
Yeah if it’s between us and north, north will overpay. They just have with stephens. 4 years is ridiculous
Not convinced about that. I think the club are very happy with Murphy as a key defender tbh, and they recruited Frampton because they didn’t expect him to go to another level this year. Ryan to me feels like more of a general defender, competing with Noble, IQ and now WHE for those smaller rebounding roles.
Totally. It’s pretty clear Murphy is viewed as a KPD and the likes of Dean and Frampton are depth. It’s thin, IMO. Khamis has to be a defensive option if the interest is real unless Kreuger’s gone.
Doubt Kreuger is gone - club won't delist him because they have a one-year offer in front of him and I sincerely doubt any other club is interested in him.
No club is offering kreugs 2 years, so I agree.
I keep reading there’s interest. I agree though if that’s all smoke then he stays.
I think Kreuger is likely to get an offer from elsewhere.
I'm not shattered if he makes his way to Adelaide. He is good up front on the bench and during his limited exposure in the VFL. I swear after every contest some part of him looks like it's worse for wear. Couldn't help but feel his shoulder was hanging on by a toothpick in the latter stages of the season.
North have to improve and given not many players are willing to move, overpaying for the best of the VFL is what they're stuck with. If Khamis comes to Collingwood, he'll have to accept playing a considerable amount of VFL next year unless he has a big improvement.Yeah if it’s between us and north, north will overpay. They just have with stephens. 4 years is ridiculous
Yeah me too. It makes sense though as Dogs are overflowing with forward marking targets. Maybe a straight swap for Ginnivan? I’m don’t want to lose him either but you have to give something to get something and we have Bobby Hill and Harrison already.
