Dogs second rounder for Macrae?

No.

Rated very high pre draft has had covud interrupted him, has had his dad pass in preseason which interrupted it, likely still mentally dealing with it.

Expect to see a big improvement next year imo.

 

[loki04]

Yeah we do. But we do need both. Howe won't be around forever and is injury prone. We don't have any depth as an interceptor behind Howe. Ideally I reckon you play another alongside Howe.

B.Cox and Logue double lol not sure freo would be as keen.

 

[sr36]

We don’t need an intercept defender we need a big bodied defensive FB giving Moore the freedom to intercept

You'd be drafting an interceptor for post Howe.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Will always be flakey as he doesn't like contact. Like WHE.

Except WHE takes marks and kicks goals and is prepared to run hard and isn’t an off field disaster.

I’d look at James Worpel

if he was available this year. He’s contracted till 2023.

 

[Apex36]

Yes he is a good player but not sure he is a FB size ready to handle McKay and Lynch 200 to 204cm types.

Honestly I’d be looking at him as a Howe replacement. Jezza isn’t getting any younger. He’d also go alright as a Maynard replacement if we want to release Bruz in to the midfield.

Takes a lot of marks, not so much goals anymore.

I wouldn't, he's shit, want a battler who has reached his ceiling, that's your guy.

His marks are often sporadic and not when the heats on the game, goes missing when team needs him. Flakey.

Yes, I have a feeling he’ll likely be replaced by one of Henry, Reef, Murley, Harrison etc in the not too distant future. With our forward line fully fit I think he’ll start to feel the heat a bit more.

I think it'll be a while away. He's a decent AFL player - fully fit we've got about 18 of them. Need about 8 more blokes to get up to speed before he's in any real danger.

He is soft and a flake, under the physical heat and doesnt stand up.

WhE is the type we need to move on from.

What’s a ‘fully fit forward line’?????

Is it actually something that will ever happen…

He’s bang on his career average this year and that’s more than I can say about stevo, which was the comparison I was responding to.

 

[Apex36]

His career average is affected by playing on the wing in his first year with us, as well as being put in defence for periods of time too.
Either way though, someone averaging less than a goal a game as a forward can hardly be described as someone who ‘kicks goals’. I’m well aware that you were comparing him to Stevo, does that give you license to put mayo on what WHE actually does these days?

[Apex36]

Yes.

Well at least you’re being honest about it

 

[Seedsfan]

Who would you cut at seasons end? In no particular order I expect Wilson, C Brown, Cox, WHE and Roughie to be on the way out at seasons end

I doubt WHE gets delisted. The rest can go

 

[Seedsfan]

I doubt WHE gets delisted

Final year of his contract isn’t it? Can’t see him getting a new deal at Collingwood

 

[Apex36]

He’s played every game this year and at worst would be handy depth. He’ll be offered 1 or 2 years on modest coin.

 

[Kappa]

Except WHE takes marks and kicks goals and is prepared to run hard and isn’t an off field disaster.

Outside of 2018 when he kicked 42 in a year, he really isn’t a big goal kicker at all for someone who doesn’t have a defensive bone in his body.

I'd have WHE on the safe list:

These are the blokes who I think will need to show something during the rest of the season:

Chugg, Bianco, Callum, Wilson, Kelly, Roughy, Murphy, Madgen, Cox

They won't all go, but I don't think any of them would be feeling particularly safe if their contracts are up.

Call me crazy but I’d rather keep Magden than WHE. I think magden will still improve and puts his body on the line for the team, WHE is just a down hill skier who does something flashy once every 3 weeks then spuds it up most weeks.

I partially agree, I respect Madgen more as he does put it on the line for the team and do think that he maybe kept depending upon who we get in to strengthen the backline over the off season
