Yes, I understand that.He's on the inactive list..
Ruled out for the entire year.
I thought the joke was anyone suggesting he could play wing in the first placeThat one obviously went over your head ...
Yeh, sorry - I should've deferred to you prior to commenting ... you must be really fun at partiesI thought the joke was anyone suggesting he could play wing in the first place
Agree playing off half back develop him as intercept defender hopefully a Murphy type ( he same kamikazee appraach to the ball )Begg doesnt have the talent to play on the wing or on ball
i would give him 1 more year, place him in a key defensive role and then leave him there for the year. see if he can blossom into that role. for a big man, he is gifted athletically
You weren't even the one who suggested he play wing.Yeh, sorry - I should've deferred to you prior to commenting ... you must be really fun at parties
I’d prefer we re-sign him. He’s playing good footy.Surely we are going to resign Hoskin Elliott
He’s really notAgree but he’s never had an opportunity for a sustained run in either position with the incessant injuries to our Rucks over 2 seasons.
He’s such a unique athlete that we should give him an opportunity for success in a role he could thrive in.
You weren't even the one who suggested he play wing.
You seem to have misinterpreted my replies..and the non existent tone
Wasn't I?Is wing a realistic option for him?
If he has competitiveness and an adequate tank, his marking shouldn't be as much of an issue if you confine his role to getting back in defence to assist with aerial contests. Anything he marks forward of the ball would be a bonus.
You would need to factor in the inherent advantages he would have as a wing against other wings and determine whether the risk is worth it. His marking may not be such an issue if he's lining up on someone who's more of a traditional wing and shorter than him.
Pending Friday night's result, the final 2 games could be an opportunity to see what potential he has to play in a particular position which he might not have otherwise played in previously.
What? I merely said he was out injured for the year. As did other posters.Wasn't I?
Even if I wasn't the first to suggest it, your dismissiveness and self-perceived superiority was clearly apparent.

I believe manicpie first suggested he play wing. That's who I was thinking of in reference to playing wing.
Not sure how you get superiority vibes out of saying a player is out for the year.
It was more the above, not the injury commentI thought the joke was anyone suggesting he could play wing in the first place
We’ll let just agree to disagree.He’s really not
I don't think he could play wing. Imo. He looks puffed playing ruck.It was more the above, not the injury comment
I’d happily take him. With more luck on the injury front next year we can def contend again. Will have an easier draw (well should)Gee I hate the "why would we recruit a 30+ year old" debate when it comes to players like Haynes.
If they're best 23 for the next year or two, and they're cheap, you take them. He'd also offer lots of experience to the likes of TJ. It's when they're 30 plus and no good that it doesn't make sense.
Jen,With Oscar re-signing, and Howe reaching a trigger this friday, that leaves 5 senior list spots
Sidey
WHE
Kreuger
Reef
Richards
The rest OOC are rookies. (Long. Dean. Eyre. Bytel. Sullivan. Begg)
As the list spot yes, but not on the senior list. That spot became Long/Smit, but given those two were in the MSD, they go to the rookie list not the senior list.Jen,
Was Murphy's spot taken by someone?

Murphy and Carmichael how do they fit into the equation.With Oscar re-signing, and Howe reaching a trigger this friday, that leaves 5 senior list spots

Carmichael's spot gets taken by Smit given we have him on a 18 month contract (end of 2025) But we would still be 1 over the allowed limit of 6 rookies unless we delist or promote someoneMurphy and Carmichael how do they fit into the equation.
How can our draw be any easier? We already play Carlton twice each season.I’d happily take him. With more luck on the injury front next year we can def contend again. Will have an easier draw (well should)
