I’m still holding out some hope for the BF most loathed players to win over some of the haters.
Of those yet to make the regular 22 OR are perceived as being place holders until we get better players … where do we see these guys in 2024?
(Add anyone you think fits the bill that I forgot or left off on purpose)
Sloane - can he become a role player of worth? If not, he must play SANFL in the break glass role. Just no wiggle room with him.
Keays - would be in every other clubs best 22, will not be dislodged easily … he brings a lot to the table and even with his deficiencies is an important cog for us.
ROB - better than most realise as a ruckman, still improving?
Murphy - Stats based hate? I don’t have him on my naughty list.
Butts - on the edge because we have so many good options coming through in this area … don’t see him beating Woz or Muz for the big man role when they are available. I think he is also behind Keane now as the placeholder.
McHenry - lots of effort, lots of fumbles. My new #1 on the “No thanks” list.
Sholl - my 2nd biggest fingers crossed in the list behind Berry. Just so much upside imo.
Berg - we know what dragon is by now, right?
Berry - my great hope is that he returns to the 22 and takes the step up. Loved him in 2022.
Parnell - not sure where he fits in, like a lot of what he does - but is rightly down the order at this stage.
Cook - must play more games in 2024. Half forward or wing please.
Gollant - has to replace McAdam in the forward line. He flies for his marks, tackles hard and converts pretty well.
Borlase - back up for now. Let’s see if he keeps developing.
Nank - I think everyone loves this kid, just added him because he is on the fringe.
