That move doesn't surprise me as we were linked to him as possible " add on " some months ago, in the rookie draft.

At least its good to see that we are exploring all our options and not be limited to only considering someone living in a postcode that starts with a 6.
Monocle - is he any good? What’s your opinion of him potentially fitting into our side? What will he add? And is he best 22?

Short answer he is quick, VERY outside and has good foot skills, doesn't get a lot of the ball but when he does he uses it well.
Crafty around goals, just got to get it to him as he won't win a lot of his own ball.
Can tackle when needed.

He is a free flowing wingman that would do well in a side thats up and about. ( Not sure thats us )

An upgrade on Langdon .

TBH I would rather Bailey Rogers.

That said ........ connection and chemistry between players is always an unknown.

So get him over and let's have a look see.







Side Notes : Hearing Dixon will don the 🟦🟨 in 2022, he has impressed, if he only has a half decent game this weekend .... its a done deal.
 
The list is becoming dangerously stocked full of middling/low level talents. Assuming this is a down year, we really need to manage the list creatively to gain as many early picks as possible.

I just watched Hugh Dixons highlights on YouTube from when he was younger.

Got a fair set of dukes and be nice to have a decent lefty up forward too (If Im right we haven't had a lefty forward since Nikoski?)

Something about those lefties.

Hope he takes his chance.
 
What’s the chances we get him? And if he training with us now - does that mean he’s been earmarked?

Depends if he wants to play for us I'd say. If he does I'd say it'd be our choice as we'll have a higher pick than Fremantle and just need to tell him that he needs to tell recruiters he'll be on the first plane back west after two years. If it works for Bailey Smith, Archie Perkins, Ben Hobbs surely we can start taking advantage of that attitude as well?

Looks a good size and fit already.

With regards to Naish he had a shot and didn't make it, what are we trying to acheive? move from 14th to 12th this year or do we seriously see him as part of our future. Would rather take the punt on Dittmar and if he doesn't develop delist in two years.

Agreed, I think we're going to need to look at the opportunity of trading some players we'd prefer not and properly spoon out. Some of our better players who have any currency at all just don't fit the age profile for our next push.

It’s definitely what we need to do, but Wce don’t move on players unfortunately.

Interesting to think who we might have asked to train on, had the borders been open!!!
