Recommitted Denver Grainger-Barras [OOC 2024]

This is like driving your car into the ocean and saying "Nah its a boat, do you wanna buy it"

Just cos you put in the water once, doesnt make it a boat. Its just a used car that isnt getting any use

DGB I strongly believe will be a good player but not a KP he is the long term Sicily replacement as 3rd medium defender or possibly swing man. He is a good interceptor with a good mark and kick. We need to remember he is 21 was slightly built and came through the covid era so will take even longer to develop than usual. he just needs the penny to drop re what it actually takes to be a top liner.

If Hawthorn acquire McKay would that maybe indicate to DGB or maybe make him ponder a new club?

Not really, they will play different roles at AFL level even if DGB does make it.

How is his tank? That always seems to be the issue when I watch him. Blows up early.

Correct weight.

Correct weight.

Reminds me of Francis in that regard when he first started with us. Could see all the tools were there and had a competitive edge but just not enough gas.

Honestly one of the better early career comparisons I have seen, I think his tank might somehow be worse. He can’t run out games at all. Has time on his side but would want to start showing signs

Yep. Solid first halves, then fades real quick.

 

[new breed]

16 yrs of age was playing CHB at SD colts and controlling games with intercept marking .
Hopefully he improves / works on any weaknesses , AFL is such a step up no-one is guaranteed but still a handy player .

 

[TylerDurden]

No way we move him after today.

 

[thebigshowperth]

Trade him to west coast

Would rather we target DGB than overspend for Esava.

I would hope hawthorn back dgb in. There is a player in there. We just have to find him.
