rjay 25,424 Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Has to be a better bet than Tomlinson on a wing.... 1 Quote
Lord Travis 10,819 Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 Definitely keen to get him to the Dees. His kicking and drive are what we are lacking, so he’s be upgraded depth at worst. Haven’t heard his name mentioned at all around the traps, but I’m hoping we’ve enquired and can get him across cheaply with little fuss. Quote
AaronDaveyChipsAndGravey 390 Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 Looks like a poor man's Tomlinson to me with more injury concerns. No thank you Quote
Moonshadow 17,678 Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 I thought he re-signed recently??? Quote

Lord Travis 10,819 Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Get him. Late pick. At worst he’s upgraded depth. Good penetrating kick off half back to replace Hibberd in the near future. 1 Quote
Adam The God 30,742 Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Would hopefully allow Salem to push into the midfield and use Cutler's run off half back. Quote

Expand I don't think Salem is back because there isn't other options, it's more that he didn't cut it in the midfield. But agree Cutler would be a good get. Quote

Expand Agree WTM.It's probably a bit too hot for him in there, but he excels when given a bit of time allowing him to capitalise on his disposal. Quote
Adam The God 30,742 Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Christian needs to make it in the midfield or get more of it off half back. Quote

Late pick. At worst he’s upgraded depth. Good penetrating kick off half back to replace Hibberd in the near future. Expand Believe he had a few injury issues that saw his 2019 effected. If he gets over those i believe he is a meaningful upgrade on a Stretch. Bit more of a running outside winger but also bigger bodied with a significant height advantage. Averages about double the number of goals and just under double the meters gained vs Stretch. Marks a tad more. Stretch tackles a bit more and a few less turnovers but might be kicking it safe more often. Significant improvement on the likes of JKH. ANB plays a diff type role but might even push him out a little depending on roles / match ups. Not very good on the trade front but gut feel says for a mid late third round Cutler improves our depth as mentioned and is a bit of a steal. Be going for him big time on that proviso subject to the usual medico testing. Not much here ...from 38 second mark if interested.

DubDee 26,677 Posted October 8, 2019 Posted October 8, 2019 Never really heard of him. 192 cms utility. could be good back up for Tomlinson on the wing and cover down back with frosty going. 24yo and 66 games so should be hitting his prime. might be worth a punt Quote

Expand He's tough enough, got great skills, I just wonder whether he's a natural ball finder though. A bit like the debate with Trengove. I'm not convinced he can't find enough of it, but I like him as a player. Quote

Definitely a sound depth upgrade for a wing role or a high half-forward. What was his injury that kept him out this year? Quote

He is no star but he is solid and fits a need we have. Expand What is his injury issue? Someone suggested a foot - that would definitely put me off in a big way.

Wing or half back. Good ball user. Only squeezed out by Lions new midfield. Expand Are you a Kiwi, or is there more to this up in Brisvegas? 1 Quote

I think it's a recurring one but only guessing. Might be a bit of a risk on that front but then Stretch hasn't exactly been durable either. 1 1 Quote
