Does not Effect us really

Of course it does. If Cumming goes to Port, they’re less likely to go for Pez.

Dean is too slow. His best game of the year is when he completed 3 basic plays without messing up.
The first 3 games of the season his direct competition scored at will and Dean looked far beaten. He is slow and has no ability to contest the ball in the air. Again, his lack of athleticism is OK if he was smart defensively... but he's not.

I think thats an overly harsh assessment. Yup, Dean is no certainty to make it, but he isnt with out some attractive traits. No doubt, he was poor in those first two (not 3) games, but I think you are paying far too much attention to these two games and not enough to his other 6. I shall point out that those first two games were virtually the only games of footy he played for 2 years (he managed the grand total of 3 VFL games in 22-23 years) thanks to that foot injury. I think it was dumb of the club to play him when he had no continuity in his footy, and it was hardly a surprise that he struggled. The time to play him was after a good solid block of footy in the VFL; and when he did get that solid block under his belt, he acquitted himself much much better in the other 6 games in the year where he was serviceable, didnt leak goals, and didnt show the same 1 on 1 frailties.

I think its abject nonsense to imply that he cant complete basic plays without messing up. He has solid skills. Nice kick, very good ball handling below his knees, knows when to feed the ball off to a running player, decent decision making.
Skills aren't his problem. I also think its nonsense to claim he isn't smart defensively. He took a whopping 15 marks in the VFL against Richmond, and topped it with 17 marks against Brisbane 2 weeks later- many of them intercept marks. Ya simply don't take that many intercept marks, without being a smart player who can read the play.

Where you have been accurate, is his lack of pace. That to me is Charlie's flaw, thats why he is up against it. I think he is self evidently an excellent VFL player. He reads the play like a book and can match VFL forwards, but as an AFL player the worry is he is a tweener who will lack size to play KP and pace to play on the flanks. I think he showed enough to get another year. Lets see whether more continuity and experience means his football smarts can overcome his lack of athleticism.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't be recruiting promising talls though...

How to get Perryman:

1. Scout, scout, scout
2. Offer contract
3. Send the house
4. Check social media
5. Wait a bit, let him rule out some clubs.
6. Invite for a visit. Focus on facilities, playing time and conference match-ups.
7. Hard sway



I’ve learned this off EA College Football 25.

If we ended up with him and Perryman, that would be a very successful offseason.

Cant see that happening with what port will ask for.

Does if Cumming selects Port.
Luko and Comming means Perryman would be unlikely.

 

[Couch Coach]

I think Perryman is Victorian, hopefully he'd rather come back home

Collingullie NSW near Wagga Wagga

Our Colours.

 

[LuckyLee]

Probably Carlton, in which case we might pick up Kennedy cheaply. He and Perryman would certainly bolster our midfield as Pendles, Sidey and Mitchell move towards retirement.

Re Perryman: Whilst I think it’s fine for him to seek more midfield minutes if I was his manager I would be encouraging him to also express a willingness to earn those minutes and a willingness to be adaptable if it leads to team success.

Those posters here who have been following him seem to feel that he offers some versatility role wise so I’d be asking him if he’s willing to be versatile if it means getting to the holy grail especially next year when our veterans will likely still be demanding a spot.

Just sell him on midfield minutes and if he's no good at it then put him in defense. Once we acquire him, we can do what we want. We got Howe over on the promise of forward minutes.

Is the Houston situation stuck in a loop that will keep repeating itself?

 

[Bianconeri]

Is a senior player wanting to play a different role a better reason? Like money, it seems to be solely about personal gain from the move and actually could be viewed as being a bit more petty and self centred than money and the angle of setting up your family could be portrayed.

Based off the Taylor Adams example, no.

 

[danielnajdek]

Houston would be perfect for our backline but we have no draft capital so it’s not happening.

 

[Forethought]

Cant see that happening with what port will ask for.

What about our F1 and Noble to GC for pick 12 and 33 .

Then move pick 12 and our 2 rounder to Port for Houston ?

Given the club's eager to get into the first round of the draft, I think they'd rather take it to the draft

I also can’t see how Carlton will get him. They need picks for the father sons.

Their FS's will go outside the top 30, so easily to match
But I think all suitors will find it hard to do a deal for houston. He may have to stay

Unless carlton comes to terms with the fact they'll need to use pick 11 if they want him

 

[sr36]

Based off the Taylor Adams example, no.

We don't know, as he didn't go with the money reason. Some Pies are still pissed off with him, would it be more if he had've said money was his motive? Would other club fans care either way?

Blues will be able to if they're willing to trade their first rounder - but the rumour is they aren't and their future first plus a bit of shrapnel doesn't seem enough. I think he'd be perfect for them so think they'll end up trading their first round pick as part of the deal.

Yeah, if blues want him - they'll need to change their stance on their first rounder.

Yeah probably not the approach I’d take. He’s still going to have to push someone out of our midfield to get those minutes short term at least.

He's not getting to a contending club and being an automatic in their midfield. If he comes to us and is willing to play some other roles for a while, you'd think he'd at least get a chance to show what he's got in the midfield down the track with our impending departures - Port too I would have thought unless they've got others lined up to replace Boak and Wines.

One of the camporeale brothers is meant to give very very high. Unless he played dead this season.
