Our midfield is going to get even more pis* weak if we lose Dunks.

 

[doggies ftw]

Rather than recruit Lobb, the best outcome would be to recruit a genuine ruck and play English as a forward/ ruck. Unfortunately looks like that’s long odds to happen

Imagine we had a Nank like ruck bull to help our midfield and English played in his proper position, ie ****ing anywhere but the ruck contest.

Never going to happen though

Annoyingly We almost had Nank at the end of 2016. Tigers offered him $50k more so he went there

He's cooked been shithouse for 2 years now

GWS offering up Nick Haynes

If he came discounted from both a contract and/or trade price perspective then it's an obvious yes. He's on 650-700k though and with his current output, it's a significant risk.

We can send him in to do the toss ups, so he can intimidate the opposing captain...

Dare I say it.. gun CHB?

Build the backline around this guy, he would be the best contested/intercept marker in defence in the league hands down.

Start as soon as this week tbh, but next year alongside two big bodies in Jones & Keath and he’ll be brilliant there.

Any lack of pace over the first few steps is made up for with great closing speed and a hugeee reach, he will be unbeatable one on one once he fills out, and his elite reading of the play will make watching Gardner/Cordy getting constantly caught out of position look like a local footy player within about 5 weeks of AFL footy

I’m fascinated by what we do with him. I am absolutely praying we don’t throw him around like Lewy Young.

If De Kooning can do it at Geelong, Darcy can do it.

Can’t see that happening with his old man being in such a high place at the club.

 

[Dale4captain]

If Darcy can fill CHB with Jones and Keith next year, we should also be focusing on our smalls back there. Doc is on his last 12 months. We don't have many options on the list to become that lockdown type for small/mediums.

Out of the blue - but could Garcia transition to a role as a small lockdown defender? Hard as a cat's head, great defensive instinct, and desperation in the contest. Wouldn't mind it trialed at some stage.

I’d be moving Caleb out of there asap too. Elite by foot but a Defensive liability.

Richards, Cleary, Dale, Doc, Williams (if need be) is probably enough for now but can easily pinch one in the draft.

Haven’t watched him much this year but his numbers have fallen off a cliff. Always a bad sign for an aging player that has relied on athleticism.

 

[dergert]

Darcy still have 5 goals kicked on him by his direct opponent.
If he is to play in defence, he has a while to go before he comes into the senior side imo.

 

[Struggle]

Best thing about that is they were all one grab. No juggling anywhere, it just stuck

Who plays on the Stengle, Cameron, Papley types? After Doc, we don't have someone that covers that type of player.

Well Richards can cover those types. A few people have mentioned it before but I’d genuinely be looking at a McLean move to the defensive half to take over Duryea’s role moving forward. I definitely think he has the tools to make it work long term.

I really have not liked Caleb’s year at all. It’s been ordinary on both sides of the ball. I feel more comfortable with Dale & Ed as our main two attacking options.

I’m all for revamping our entire back 6 next year. It hasn’t worked at all.

Richards. So good one on one.

 

[AFDogs]

Watching Barrass on the weekend and he is comfortably a top 5 defender in the game right now. Reads the play insanely well. Would be impossible to get him over unless West Coast shit the bed again.

I don't think McLean has the athleticism to play back particularly now after coming off his knee injury. He looks very slow.

 

[BIG_BONTS]

Hopefully McLean can get a run this week. He was one of my favourite players I'd back him in to recover good form
