Marsh couldn’t kick and was ultimately lost because of that.

Bullshit, the main reason Marsh was lost where the issues in his noggin.

Pre and post.

Was a bit of a headless chook with the ball.

Hasn't been assigned to anything other then a drop off in km ran.
Read the original post 14km vs 20km. Volume was greater then than now hence why i said a fair drop off.

My comments on WHE the player aren't because "I don't think he works hard enough".

He defended current players I assume capacity to run by highlighting that it's done at higher intensity now.
I find it interesting to see if that a 12 to 14km player would clock up what Buckley did then of 5km sprints...or 100% effort.

To reiterate my comment was “ANY type of drop in performance”. The game has changed beyond measure from 20 years ago and continuing to stand by your comments seems bizarre to me, but all power to you.

On Allan the vibe in this thread is completely at odds with his current status. If he debuts in 2023 we’ve had a Barry Crocker! I like him as a prospect, but he will take time to find his way because he’s coming off a very interrupted 2022 and I’d challenge anyone that thinks they can pick his role next year let alone in the medium term.

I compared the two in the draft thread and it’s an obvious likeness. I rated Marsh and whilst I wouldn’t have put it the same way you have my take is that Marsh would still be in the system if he hadn’t walked out on the club. I’m not sure if he’d have made it as a mid or KPD, but he was up to the level in all ways bar his mental health.

Clearly a 400 game fullback, and will win 7+ Brownlows and 6 Norm Smiths.

Jokes aside a tall quick fella might be a boon in defence as the brilliant Howe winds down.

Why Howe? In all of Butch II's highlights, I only recall one mark of consequence from overhead. Then a frequent observer described him as most likely ok overhead one-on-one, but not a pack mark. Now you have all but earmarked our reverse sliding draftee as our next Howe. I prefer your jokes.

He had the Oliver Henry go-home fixation. Move me or I die type ultimatum. Shower me with home comforts or I wilt.

But then came back and played for the Saints, if memory serves. Because reasons.
 
Exciting selection - to come back from stress fractures in the back and then dominate is a fair effort.

Sounds like he certainly won't be rushed. Maybe plays two years of vfl?

Matthew Pavlich he is. Start his career as an inside midfielder. Once he develops some bulk, he'll win his first AA as CHB before we settle him forward to win multiple AA's as the gun KPF we've all been crying out for.
 
So if Mr. Ed has grown 20cms in limited time, which to some extent appears perhaps franked by the development of back stress fractures… can our resident sizeologist [mention]Gone Critical [/mention] please comment on the likelihood of further growth?

Is he a chance to get to 198cm + and become a realistic KP possibility instead of a utility?

A few weeks ago I commented somewhere that I remembered that Collingwood recruiters would always check out the bedrooms of prospective recruits. A tidy, ordered environment pointing to an ordered individual etc. Last night I heard somebody comment during the broadcast, that the No.1 draft priority was character. That surprised me a little, but when you come across good character these days, it hits you in the face a bit. I think this kid oozes character. We'll have to wait on the rest.

Yeah I’m also not sold on this. If character is the number 1 priority, they’re ordinary judges, or have lazy DD…

Stephenson, Beams, Abbott, Egan, De Goey, Sidey, Murray, Wellingham, Blair, Didak, Prince of Perth, Wells, Henry, Ginni….

I bought this early on, but in retrospect, we’re actually closer to Richmond, in that if you can play, and are competitive, you’re in…

Obv a fine balance and I wouldn’t trade out some of the above, but the ‘character above else’ assertion is clearly flawed
