He could be. I'm willing to give him another injury free year to prove himself.

Highly unlikely.

He doesn't challenge the ball in the air as he cannot jump or is not explosive/athletic.

Then he is very slow to defend leaner and quicker forwards.

Then you cannot put him on big strong forwards either because he is not strong enough.


His only positive trait is that he's taller than 6'3.

Everything else, including awareness, is VFL level at best.


The Pies literally lost games because Dean was dominated by his man that it led to direct goals or indirect goals when his team mate had to help him leaving another player free.

Sorry, but Dean is not good enough for what the Pies need in their structure. If he is best 22, then Pies aren't gonna do well against the top 8 teams.

My main Hope we can get pick 13. Regardless of whether that nets us Houston or not, 13 is such a valuable pick to use or trade

 

[South of the Yarra]

Shit, I just gave away a free kick for this comment.

Mustn’t have been a final because old Flat Track Charlie can only score in Home and Away. Mason Cox has kicked as many goals in one quarter of a final as Curnow has in his finals career.

 

[South of the Yarra]

Nope

Your like a piece of broccoli at a mixed grill. You’re not really welcome.

 

[Pistol Night]

Nope

Enjoy your ban. Oh hang on, wrong way around

 

[unplugged]

If we don't get Houston, we riot

 

[Go Woods]

Dean will keep getting better. Let’s see how far he goes and how good he gets.

I don't know why lots on here don't rate him, should put on more size over summer, think he has all the attributes to replace Howe once he retires.

Agreed he is a must retain. Given our lack of tall depth it would be idiotic not to re rookie him

 

[LuckyLee]

So JFN to GC is the first domino that needs to fall, in order to set the others in motion. Hope we get it done in the next day or two.

If we bring in Houston then I definitely think we've prevented any chance of a cliff in 2 years. Next step would be to find replacements for KPPs a couple more years down the line. Fingers crossed on Condon being one.

Yes, the cliff looks less perilous if we can bring in Houston alongside Perryman and then pick up LDU as a free agent and McGuane Jnr as a father-son in a year’s time.

I like what you are implying. Big Game Player Cox has more trade value than Curnow

Not sure if you can make that sort of final judgement after 7 AFL games coming off 2 years of injury. We could see some drastic improvement if given another year.

 

[No SPIN]

My view is that Dean and Eyre are from the 2020 draft. Sure they've had injuries, but they should be decent depth players by now and they aren't. Get Thomlinson, move them on and add a kid.

SR you can’t on the one hand say they have injury excuses AND should have proved themselves by now.
Makes no sense mate.

How did he have 17 marks in his last VFL game if he can’t “ challenge the ball in the air”?

 

[Harry O]

It will be failure of epic proportions if we don’t secure pick 13 after the Suns have effectively given us first right of refusal
A lot of pressure on Browne Kelly and Leppa here

How many were intercept? Caleb Daniel could have 20 marks in a game if your plan was to shift the ball as much as possible.

 

[BuildEmUp]

You agree Dean is an "All Star" ?

Has anyone thoughts about Denver Grainger-Barras. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2024/10...e-player-who-kane-cornes-thinks-he-missed-on/

It’ll get done. They’re virtually begging us to **** Carlton over

 

[manicpie]

He reads like a WHE type so I’d be keen.
Actually suggested him instead of Owies.

Instead of Owies, bite your tongue sir

The whole defensive unit was at sea for half the year, I’d argue Darcy cost us more games than Dean did.

 

[unplugged]

Still think Carlton are just trying to save face with this "determination" to hit the draft. They don't want to look like they've missed out on Houston despite clearly trying to free up space with Kennedy and Owies to fit him in, so they're going to turn around and say they didn't want to fold to Port's demands, etc.

At least that's what I'm hoping.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

He'd be similar to Frampton in 2023. A player we'd want to perform well enough to play in our starting defence, but would have to earn it against Frampton, Dean etc. I'd expect he'd be able to do that, but if Dean improves considerably and goes past him that's even better.

Yes but we still have frampton.

Interesting post I saw on the Hawks board about us :

"Collingwood is going for Gold with an aggressive strategy this season.

Assuming they can get Houston they will be set up for more silverware well into the future. In two years time, with Pendles, Sidebottom, Mitchell and Howe gone they will still have an incredible base of A graders, albeit with less promising youth than some of the opposition.

Daicos x 2
Houston
Perryman
Quaynor
Schultz
Hill
Moore
DeGoey
Maynard
Lipinski
McReeery
Dean
McGuane

That's 14 genuine All Stars! Scary, huh!"

I agree let's hope Allan, Harry, Harvey, TJ, Smit & a few others develop well too.

As much as I like it, that's a pretty optimistic read of multiple B graders, a speculative KPD prospect and an unknown kid.

Perhaps becuase it was VFL ...?

 

[gouki88]

Sooo... when does the Noble trade get done!
