Reef at 40 kgs is Better than Tomlinson

Cmon bro, that's not even remotely close to being true. I hope you won't be one that hangs shit on reef when he's playing HB and getting destroyed. Reef is lucky not to have been delisted, it's like putting your faith in a country footballer

The point I’m trying to make is about Tomlinson
I don’t rate him at all.. he’s hopeless
He gets lost in aerial
Contests , hardly spoils ,has poor decision making and won’t offer us anything other than being classified as a tall defender
And I do rate reef and see a future for him

Fair enough but reef isn't the answer and Frampton and Dean aren't either

 

[cfc19902010]

Let’s see what happens with reef
I still think he will make it
Frampton is average but he has done some very nice jobs for us and can be more than serviceable

Don't forget that reef has only played 2 games in defence and they were pretty average. It's not something I'd be hanging my hat on. I'm not even sure he'll get games next year, purely a depth option

I do share some of your lack of excitement. When he was at the giants, I was hopeful we could land him. But since going to The demons, I’ve seen nothing that screams “pick me”. Guy is 31 with an average of 9 games per season over past 5 years…

And whilst we’re on it, Membrey also seems a reach. There’s a reason saints delisted him, with him almost being the biggest afl headline / tragedy in recent memory.

Krueger must really be a liability body wise, for him to offer less at his age

I’m not sure what the clubs plans for reef are
I just hope he gets he gets a better chance to prove himself as a defender if they ever try him in back half than he got when he was forward

 

[SchuPie]

I’m just disappointed that if Tomlinson is the answer, how did we get to the point where we needed to ask that question?!

Membrey kicked 30 goals last year and has plenty of times, he has shown over 10 years that he is a decent AFL player, how could you even compare him with Krueger who finally got a run at it this year and proved that he is not much good.

Krueger is a terrible mark, kind of defeats the purpose being tall and quick if you can’t mark.

De mattia is not an inside mid.

The key missing element is inside mid.

(Nor is Perryman an inside mid)

Haha De Mattia is an inside mid.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Personally I’m wondering what Tomlinson brings to the table that frampton, Dean and potentially McInnes can’t, not to mention any new draftees.

 

[magpies42]

Haha De Mattia is an inside mid.

He could be anything or nothing, it’s ludicrous to be putting a ceiling on what he can do without giving him the opportunity to prove himself.

 

[Gabbo64]

Dustin Fletcher was built like a ruler

He had good foot skills and was able to inch his way to become a great full back.

 

[HFF]

Charlie Clarke to replace Richards as a developing small forward anyone?

I'd like it. I was a fan of him in his draft. Grew up a pies fan too.

Apparently his off field acquaintances are in the Jake Stringer/Nick Hind sort of areas - delisting was as much about club culture as form.

before Tomlinson and Membrey. KPF who can offer a target or has trained as a KPD stopper. Cheap fills a specific need rather than bits and pieces players

Doesn't seem that sort of kid. Treloar speaks highly of him.

185 games of experience the others won't get near. He is also a very good athlete and much better than Dean and Reef.

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

Yeah.......asked around some Bulldogs mates and seems pretty well known. Just did a search on the Bulldogs forums and not hard to find it being talked about there either.

Only looked into it because I thought he might be a good pick up too. Nothing concrete but seems enough smoke there to be wary of some fire.

His brother was the streaker wasn't he?.

I really liked him. Surely he's not that bad off field
