    Pass. Also-ran

    Matthew Bate with more a little more pace and a lot more attitude.....not to mention the inflated opinion of himself

    Two clubs, hasn't looked likely at either. Would be surprised if anyone picks him up.

    [censored] no.

    I'm sitting on the fence... which coincidentally is the only opponent he's ever beaten. And that was at training. In 2012.

    He is an 'extrovert' though. And a good size. Maybe exactly what we need. :wacko:

    Remind me, what attributes does he have that may be useful?

    not a personal attribute per se but ........ He is a Marcellin product. And they have produced Zaharakis, Shuey, Caddy, Bontempelli, not to mention Montagna, Gavin Brown and Alphonse Gangitano. Just saying.

    I thought about Karnezis the other day. Reason being that given we were into Tom Lynch, i figured we were looking for someone to play that 3rd tall forward role with an ability to push up the ground and move through the midfield. Karnezis was the first guy i thought of after Lynch.

    However given it sounds as though we will sign Garland, i assume one of he or Dunn will move forward to play that role with Frost coming into the backline. So there for no need for Karnezis.

    If Garland does walk though then i'd be interested in Karnezis. What's the word about having a bad attitude?

    Petracca, Harmes, Brayshaw, Vanders and dare I mention him Jack Watts. All above 185cm. All with some pace. All (to varying degrees) can take a mark over head.

    Chuck in Hogan and a half decent 2nd ruck and we don't need a specific 3rd tall forward. That would be my plan.

    Keep the picks and head to the draft and keep drafting more 188-192cm athletic, strong marking midfield/forward types because as the interchange cap comes down the importance on multiple positions will go up.

    Watching him in the VFL finals last week and this week, he looks quite good. I'm not against getting him for the right price.

    Could provide a bit of x factor, although he wouldn't be an automatic selection in the best 22.

    You don't have to play AFL, it's not the highest of all callings as some on here think it is.

  • Quote

    Wouldn’t we all love our lives to be that good that we can play AFL, give it a crack and then go: “Nope. I’ve got something better going for me."

    All power to him.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
