James Sellar - good pickup

[rpfc 27,591]

I still think he will be touch and go in October...

It would be great to be an AFL player for 11 months of the year but you'd better get some anxiety pills in October.

Yeah, I agree he's borderline depending on what success we have picking up FA's Trades Mature players etc

I think he just scrapes in for a second year. Could be worthwhile as a role/depth player in the short term

i'd keep Dunn & MacDonald before holding onto Sellar tbh, not really the same positions though.

If the FD think Fitzy and Cook & Davis are going to make it James might be in trouble because we can only hold onto so many talls on our list for so long?

all good points but to be honest i'm not too fussed either way

i'm more concerned about the other side of the coin and whether they can get enough quality replacements

it looks to me that quality picks in FA will be very scarce

If they could get reasonable quality i wouldn't complain if they turned over 20 players lol

of course it won't happen

He will, he performs a role and as long as he does he will stay on the list.

I have no doubt they'll keep him. I reckon he has shown a great work ethic and i suspect Neeld places a very high emphasis on this

[jumbo returns 6,515]

All salient points and I reckon he's a keeper, but he has to learn to become a one grab mark. Has the capacity to do so.

[Mgdee 319]

In pre season training he was taking marks against Clark, Frawley & Jamar.

I think he is capable but needs plenty of confidence to succeed.

[Theo 263]

He makes me nervous when the ball goes his way. Just like Warnock did. He is not a good contested mark and drops his fair share of uncontested marks.

If he could mark like Harry Taylor he would have a long term career at MFC.

Sadly, I can't see him being anymore than a bit player.

[dee-luded 2,958]

At the very least, he helps out with our tall versatility atmo,,, & there may, be more to come, or there may not be...

I tend to agree, although i think he's shown a bit which would be frustrating for him

I hope so. He's essentially our utility KPP - plays down back, then forward, then ruck - all reasonably effectively, and within the one game.

He seems to have a decent character about him as well. In short, a very good pick up in the 50s.

Whilst he needs to hold more marks, he always provides a contest and, at least, brings the ball down for our non existent crumbers.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Line ball retention if at all. A year at most. I could understand if they do cut him. He is fortunate that there are others who seem to have their cards already stamped.

[timD 994]

Definite keep for me. He costs little, is a good backup if others go past him, is average at his roles and provides that "bigger body" that so many moan about not having.

If we are going to have big body players but lose sellar we then cannot get rid of all our older blokes. I'd prefer Seller to Bate, Rivers, Green (and Martin if it comes to it).

[w00dy 146]

Keep, I see many similarities to Leigh brown at Collingwood, will surprise us all I think

Leigh Brown could take a good mark. Who know he might come up. We do need another Spalding, Ingerson or Icke type. Rivers has played the role for some years now. he needs help.

Can't take a contested mark to save himself.

Thats like saying Strauss has great awareness.

[Left Field 313]

He is halfway there. He has enough confidence to go hard when off the ground. Just needs perhaps a little more composure once he is in the air. I reckon the coaching staff will punt that they can teach him that. And on that basis, they will extend him an offer.

Agree with all above, he also seems like a good honest bloke.

4 very good one grabe contested marks in the first half tonight.

Now to work on his set-shooting.

Definite keeper.

Sellar: Can't kick for nuts.

Strauss is supposed to be the best kick in the team but only hanballs into trouble.

Trengove only handballs into trouble, he doesn't kick

I think he needs confidence. I think underneith he has the talent.

[dazzledavey36 49,025]

cluncked a couple of big marks today and again a couple of goals. there is somethere there and i actually think 2 years will do.

why wasn't he shifted on tippet after mcdonald was getting slaughted??
