Mullin Henry Zuthrie
Holmes SDK Humphries
Dempsey Smith Mannagh
Conway Bruhn REID
Close Neale Miers
Henry CADMAN Stengle

Clark Knevitt Clohesy Bowes COS

Crazy where we sit right now. Q -

Do we go all out for these two given our strength across the board, picking the eyes out of the latter stages of the draft; and how could we make it work as far as draft capital.

I would trade 4 years of draft capital and every name not on that list above to make those two trades happen.

Next year you can do 3x firsts in trading so night be able to get one.

Everyone repeat after me

Mystery Mids

The biggest mystery mid for me is XXXX gold. Like how TF is that one of the best selling beers in Australia? It's pure trash

 

[Commando]

Apparently Isaac Cumming has requested to go to South Australia?

Isaac Going....

 

[ShaunWDT]

Why are people in this thread talking about Cadman like he is guaranteed to leave GWS, what indication has he ever given to say he wants to leave to play with us, same with Reid, its all fantasy,

Shown absolutely none, if anything hes constantly affirmed his dedication to GWS, people live in fantasy land on this board sometimes.

 

[Warhorse]

With all due respect, I question how much you've watched Kennedy. Let me know when Parfitt averages 25 touches a game in a season.

Many Blues fans have been clamoring for Kennedy to get more burn in the middle. He has been used as a half forward who goes through the middle. He is a much more versatile player than Hewitt or Cerra which is why his midfield time is down the last two seasons.

Hardly a bad sign he's getting pushed out in a midfield that features Cripps, Walsh, Cerra and Hewitt.

In the end I don't care if he's not looked at, not a hill worth dying on. But some of the takes on Kennedy are hilariously bad.

1 season where he has averaged over 20 touches a game. Same as Parfitt.

He is a list clogger and would replace parfitt as our ball butcher at VFL level.

 

[Cat Pummins]

What's the chances of us throwing Zach Guthrie in the midfield mix next season ?

I'm sure he'd go okay in there, silky skills and all. But he's just playing so well in defence and has been for some time now.

They'll be hoping Clark, Clohesy, Knevitt and even Mullin show something in the middle next season, and throw in Bailey Smith if all the mail is true.

 

[The rabbi]

What's the chances of us throwing Zach Guthrie in the midfield mix next season ?

It is something that I have thought about numerous times, given that Guthrie the Elder started on the 1/2 back flank before moving into the midfield.

 

[D BRIDGE]

It is something that I have thought about numerous times, given that Guthrie the Elder started on the 1/2 back flank before moving into the midfield.

I also have though my that he has certain attributes that could transfer into the middle.

He is mini Stewart after all.

 

[Hinkley29]

Going for Kennedy would just be putting a very limited player in the way of guys like Clark, Knevitt and Clohesy. It's unclear who he'd replace in the midfield rotations from the QF. And we've potentially got Smith, Stewart and Guthrie to add to that mix.

If Clark, knevitt and clohesy are any good they won’t have any problem going past a very limited player.

 

[Hinkley29]

I also have though my that he has certain attributes that could transfer into the middle.

He is mini Stewart after all.

He reads the game in a similar way to Stewart, but he is not nearly as explosive as Stewart. Stewart is quicker and is more of a burst player, which allows him to transition to a midfield role.

I fear that Zuthrie would be a plodder in the midfield, and you would be wasting the strengths he has that allow him to be an elite player in the backline.

As a midfielder he would be more blitz/atkins than Stewart/danger.

 

[supahoops]

Shown absolutely none, if anything hes constantly affirmed his dedication to GWS, people live in fantasy land on this board sometimes.

Yeah the same people that fantasised about Dangerfield and Cameron. They’re all dedicated until they’re not.

 

[Jumping Jack]

Shown absolutely none, if anything hes constantly affirmed his dedication to GWS, people live in fantasy land on this board sometimes.

Don't go off the rails here on Cadman. What I said (and what I've been told) is that the club are all over his every move and have stayed very close to him and his manager since well prior to his draft year.

That doesn't translate to Cadman ever having said he wanted to leave GWS.

Well according to the herald sun.
Didn’t expect that.

Obviously his injuries are a concern.
But would get him for nothing.

Reports suggest there's interest from the West, but that West may only be 60 minutes down the road

Surely not - the club will due its due diligence on his injuries and move onto other targets you would think

Macrae has nominated St Kilda as his preferred club, poor bloke

The veteran midfielder is seeking a move away from the Kennel.

What an idiot

 

[Footy Smarts]

If Clark, knevitt and clohesy are any good they won’t have any problem going past a very limited player.

Our club are smart enough to trust quality young players once they've done their VFL development. I think they would pick Clark ahead of Kennedy even if he's less physically developed. But that also suggests it's a bit pointless paying up for our new Mitch Hardie.

 

[Footy Smarts]

If the medical team think there's a reasonable chance he can overcome his injuries then 1 year on a low wage would be worth it.

I liked him as a kid, was surprised he didn't do that well at GWS. When he started playing well at Carlton I thought, good, I always liked that kid.

I don't watch Carlton every week so have then been confused when he's had criticism. Only thing I can judge him off is against Geelong....and I thought he was pretty good, and again thought "I always liked that kid".

I'm completely guessing on him because I don't watch him enough but he played all year so bit confusing they are so readily letting him go.

, talented but can't stay on the park long enough to ever fullfill it, just not a list fit either.

 

[The rabbi]

What an idiot

Some of us can remember when St.Kilda won the premiership.

 

[Oisin_the_Goat]

He'll be perfect for that slingshot style of football they play. lolz

Injuries happen. Form loss happens. Unexpected breakouts happen.

Every club needs depth, and our midfield could use some.

When does their “vfl development” end? And can you predict when that is going to happen? I know I can’t, and I reckon our club would be smart enough to acknowledge that they dont have the exact answers either. And because of that you need as many options as you can realistically get.

We are currently playing our 5x all Australian half back (selected there as recently as last season) in the midfield because of our lack of options in that area. It is fair to say that we could use some help in the midfield. Regardless of whether our young mids are ready soon.
