I like this guy and think he would work well for us, but why delist Magner and get another mature aged recruit?

I don't think Roos will recruit anymore, he will keep Jones but thats about it.

Because Cain and Magner have very different attributes..?

Like pace, ability to hit a target...

It's not that hard to figure out.

    Different players. Different circumstance.

    There are still gems out there that are yet to be unearthed.

    Cain was an unbelievable player when I played with him through 16's. Some players suit faster-paced football.

    Cain's decision making, hands and kicking are impeccable. Magner is a junkyard bulldog who will dive in and come out with the ball but that's all he's got going for him.

    I strongly believe Cain will more than hold his own at AFL level and I'm desperate for us to draft him.

    Magner got 50 odd disposals one game in the VFL how many times has Cain done that?

    I'm all for getting him, but i can't see Roos recruiting him.

    Against a 3rd division EDFL side. besides just because he got 50 disposals doesn't automatically mean he is a better player then Cain.

    Cain has speed, good kicking skills and overhead mark while Magner is the complete opposite...

    With all due respect TDM, disposals shouldn't be a rating attribute of a player. Magner had absolutely no damage with his disposal and it's why he's now on the scrap heap. I thank him for his time, but Cain kicks goals, gets both uncontested and contested footy and is effective by foot.

    I'd take that over 35 handballs, 15 kicks 11 ineffective any day.

    It's impossible to argue with someone who who places such importance on 'possession count'.

    Why do you think Magner didn't get an AFL game after that performance?

    I didn't say i don't want him but i don't believe that Roos will pick him.

    Met a guy today who also plays for Port Melbourne and rates him very highly both in the mid and up forward.

    I would prefer Mitch Honeychurch or Dayle Gartlett if he lasted that long.

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.
