Twas the rumour going around that he / his manager were letting it known he's had interest from over east

Not Colin Young is it?

Twas the rumour going around that he / his manager were letting it known he's had interest from over east

This thread is based off that rumour that he'll leave if he doesn't play which is why if he kicks 30 goals he won't leave because that would probably take him 20+ games to do.


He's winning right now vs Amiss.

Apologies Joao, I read your post wrong. Thought nit just said he would go if he didn't kick 30 goals.

Well that makes sense, would not be the first to leave for opportunity

They did just spend 3 lots of first round picks on forward or forward rucks so you can't help but think he would be more likely to get opportunities elsewhere

 

[Obeanie1]

He's probably fighting for a spot with Amiss right now?

I can't see all of Tabener, Jackson, Amiss and Treacy playing in the same forward line.

Why wouldnthe be fighting Tabener for a spot? They are more similar.

You wont see Amiss pinch hitting in the ruck Id suggest.

I would have thought Taberner's spot was pretty safe as long as he stays fit.

I can't imagine either of them pinch hitting in the ruck if they have Jackson?

Quick google search and I couldn’t find it but it’s unlikely to be Young since he was a rookie vic kid. Also, if it was Young there’s higher chance it wouldn’t be ‘rumours’ and more just a flat out news article about it

Tab’s definitely gets first dibs and playing at this best he’s probably safe. If Amiss and Treacy are as good as Freo fans hope though then both should be putting a fair bit of pressure on Tabs each week to take his spot, Tabs isn’t exactly a star (unless he’s playing Essendon when he turns into Tony Lockett).

We are all really really interested to see the structure we go with week 1 though, should be interesting given the options

Treacy has alot of mongrel in him... I cant think of any forward in Freo's past that has had this attribute

Thank god

Wouldn't mind him as a Riewoldt replacement.

 

[Taylor]

I'd suspect him to look more like a Hawkins replacement, in that team, in that role.

 

[bird_man]

3 touches on the weekend, I doubt he keeps his spot this week

even with Taberner out still can’t get a game

How does he go in the WAFL?

 

[The 747]

Like him but not AFL standard.

 

[Vindicater]

Like him but not AFL standard.

Will he ever be AFL standard.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

I think there's an AFL player in there somewhere, just not as a genuine key forward. His ruck and around the ground work is really good at WAFL combined with his field kicking which is fantastic but his hands arent clean enough given his lack of height and jump to make it as a pure full forward. If he makes it, it's as a defender or a fwd/ruck IMO

Would like the Hawks to take a chance on him, our cupboard is pretty bare and feel we're at the development stage where we can take these risks with late picks.

 

[bird_man]

I was half keen at the start of the year but I've gone cold on that.

Didn't look up to round one and really should be able to break into the side at the moment if he's good enough.

Can’t get a game even with Taberner out

Do you want to say it maybe one more time ? go on ! just for a laugh.
