They can develop in the AFL like Cotch & Dusty.

Remember who protected these boys early days?
Jackson, Tuck, Cousins, Foley, Miles.

Cotch and Dusty went into the middle in spurts early in their careers but there was a reason Dusty was so durable for a vast majority of his career. We never made him do the donkey work in the middle that the others could do and this kept his body in tip top shape.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Yep.
It’s a given that Prestia and Hopper won’t play a full season.
With their track records it would be lucky if we could get half our season into them.

With Graham, Baker and Bolton leaving it does leave us short with mature bodies to protect our new kids. Whoever we draft I don’t want them slaughtered from the get go and **** their development by having them battered by the get go.

By all means Dow isn’t the long term solution but he is insurance for a season when we inevitably get injuries.

Absolutely
Who knows he could still step up as well, unlikely I know but he is still young enough to still have some upside he hasn’t shown yet

Very low risk signing that will be important next year
Even the best midfielder draftee’s Daicos, JHF, Sneezel, ect barely set foot in the midfield during their first few years

Hell event Dusty didn’t go near the centre square for a few years

Let the draftees play forward or behind the ball until they are ready to rip the comp apart

we still have hopper, taranto & prestia (for at least a third of the season) to protect & be workhorses in the seniors, bleak outside of that, hopefully mcauliffe gets ahead of dow though

just means there's room for draftees that earn a call up

or it means there's room for the worst train-on player we've ever seen taking games from draftees

First year players hardly ever play midfield in their first year and if they do it’s only for very limited cameos

Taranto, Hopper, Prestia, Nank & Ross?

 

[Punt Road Feral]

Taranto, Hopper, Prestia, Nank & Ross?

Hopper and Prestia will be lucky to play 25 games collectively.
Nank usually misses 4-6 games a year on average.

Although this years injury toll was absolutely ****ed, all it takes is a niggle to Ross or an unlucky injury like what happened to Taranto this year with his wrist and all of a sudden we have a VFL level midfield and first year players that have to somehow be competitive.

We did have that this year and 4th year Dow failed miserably, why keep him?

McAuliffe will be up for a little more game time and Sonsie can get his turn to fail. MRJ can grab some minutes too if needed, I’d even put Short back there over Dow.

The tiges should have a crack at Cats F1 and F2 picks. The cliff has been a long time coming. Lose Jeremy Cameron

and they'll finish bottom 4. Can easily see them finishing 12 - 14 with their hard top 6 draw.

 

[THE_GUN]

We have enough list spots available now and thats what saved Dow

Im sure the club would have delisted McIntosh before Dow is we needed 1 more spot

This is a next year job if he doesnt improve dramatically

They are eyeing off our pick's #23 or #24

#24 for their F1 plus #57 i would love that
#57 would come into #48 - #50 Sam Davidson

 

[tigs2010]

Going to be a tough month or two for some posters on this board

Imagine when we are kicking 4 or 5 goals a week next year

Don't tempt me to give you a wow

I wouldnt care so long as they finish bottom 4 next year and hand over a top 5 pick to Richmond

That would be GOLD

 

[Sir_Loin]

Bartel was the fattest campaigner to play footy he was lucky he had gaj Scarlett and bartell to wipe up his mess

Did win a packet on his norm smith mind you

I believe in you

My issue with it is next years draft is meant to be shallow. So the question is is player 24 this year worse or better than say player 10 next year?
