Winter Dan 472 Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 I regard the KK recruitment as a wingman for the MFC, with HBF a secondary position and option into the future. 2 Quote

On points alone, 5 and 9 would get 1. 5,6 and Hunt would be overs by a big margin. Unless we needed the guy who would go at 1, 5 and 6 would be much better value 2 Quote

There’s a risk there with his medical history, but a potentially huge reward if he can get through it. Great value. Not sure about that bit - we don't know what the price is yet do we? 1 1 Quote

I agree, but I think in time (as early as next year) Salem will move onto a wing. His defensive game is being developed back there to ensure teams can't exploit him going the other way when he does step up to a wing. I'd have Salem and KK on wings next year unless we can get Whitfield or Kelly, in which case I'd keep Salem at half back. Quote

Matsuo Basho 1,053 Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Mahoney said on trade radio today that KK has already undergone a full medical at the Dees. Sounds like this signing is a definite goer. Great get by our FD. 6 Quote

Moving him on to the wing could result in more hamstring trouble. He reads the play beautifully at half back, makes excellent decisions, wins contests on the ground, defends more than capably against the right opponents and his kicking should only improve if he's encouraged to back himself and flatten the ball out. As Lewis goes out of the side Salem will only get more important at half back. KK I think they'll try on the wings because he has the height to kick it to 1 on 1, has a long penetrative kick suited to kick inside 50 or over the top, ran a 10.10 3km time trial and the wing will give him more space to get on to his left. 2 Quote

Wouldn't mind testing him as a forward for a season though. I remember him v the hawks a few years ago get thrown in there after half time and really added something. 1 Quote

If they say no and we say yes, that's more than enough for me. yet, we have been poor with recycler players or pro scouting i.e. balic, mckenna, bugg, ben kennedy, aiden riley, and many more from the neeld era which l won't go into Quote
