The Brent Mcaffer Thread

[Yokozuna 1,004]

Just because someone played in a premiership team, it does not make them a great player, let alone a very good player.

I would be very disappointed if we picked him up.

He has no outstanding areas in his game, not a great mark, great kick or super hard, just a solid player. We have plenty similar to him who I think have more upside, and he has been injuerd for a while, do we need more injured players?

If we look at his place on our LIST, rather then his place in our TEAM, and weigh up the correlation between potential and experience - surely a player like McCaffer could find a place on our list. Can anyone seruously suggest that he is a worse player than Newton or Dunn?

America de Cali was spot on above. McCaffer has strong history of playing to team discipline, playing a role. If this is what Neeld is aiming at, wouldn't we at least consider him?

Newton is a rookie and a different type of player anyway and Dunn would be a delist candidate if we wasn't contracted.

Here's a list of medium forward/mids on our list, where does Macaffer slot in?

Jurrah, Sylvia, Howe, Green, Petterd, Bate, Dunn

I think we should draft MaCaffer with pick 36.

And then we should get Mark Blake and Steven Armstrong with the next 2.

Just cos.

I'd agree.... except that we have to save one of those places for Michael Newton's promotion from the rookie list

May find himself remaining at the Pies if Leon and his club cannot agree and enters the Draft hoping for a return to his home state of WA.

The big difference between him and our smaller forwards is that he can play to team disciple.

As in chasing, tackling, doing what he is told etc. Does anyone on our forward line do that?

Well lets hope that now we have a new coaching team who seem to have a clue or two about tactics, that our smaller forwards may actually have a team discipline to play to.
