Try Turner, Bowey, Langford, Lindsay and Kozzy. This is the next core.

Turners development has been one of the rare highlights this season. Pick 22 of the 2021 mid-season draft. Great find from our recruiters. Fingers crossed Luker can follow in his footsteps.

And people want to move him fwd

He is having a fantastic season

mid season rookie pick. what a beauty!

He definitely has forward potential too, but it's pretty clear he's going to become an excellent defender, if he isn't already.

Yep, because Jeremy Cameron would dominate at CHB. Just because he is having a great season behind the ball doesnt mean you dont even try him ahead of the ball. But Simon says its a better process to watch us lose the same way every week with the same deficiencies.

mate when a young player finds his feet in a position and is also playing to a very high level, only a fool would move him

but yeah blame the coach for developing another quality talent. and a rookie pick at that

Insanity to keep trying the same experiment (Petty/Disco). Just keep the guys in the backline.

May is on his last legs.

Lever is flaky.

Disco and Petty could be the duo that takes us to the next flag.

Petty down back with TMac, throw Turner and May forward for the last few games. Turner actually has some idea how to play as a leading forward and May can play deep, taking the best key defender. That might reduce the pressure on one of the newbies like Jeffo, if we want to persist with him.

Dub, you mean like moving a firing winger to the back flank? Would that be dumb too?

Disco could be a great forward but I think he has AA potential as a defender who swings forward when needed

He’s also added much needed speed as a tall defender - an attribute Lever and May don’t have

As much as we need another key fwd or two we don’t want to keep robbing Peter to pay Paul to do so

Caleb's first year was overrated as most fans often do with first year kids but also the wing is a low value position. The highest value outside runners play half back. Karl Amon at Hawthorn for instance. Or NWM at St Kilda who spent year 1 on the wing and then moved back. Caleb doesn't kick the ball like those guys but his counter attack run can be of similar value. Plus he has to develop his game in multiple roles. If we're going to get full value for the pick we took him at he needs to end up playing on ball like Max Holmes and Bailey Smith, half back is good education for that.

That's very different to moving a developing key position player who's finding his rhythm. Especially when moving forward means moving to our forward line aka death valley.

hear you mate but I reckon Windsor learning how to defend will benefit him greatly in the next 12 years. We love his pace and run but the club clearly see an area he needs to improve in.

I'd play him forward or on the wing or midfield. At least he can read the play and is clean with his disposal. I don"t think it matters where you play him

Would love more players like Disco Turner!

Become a very good and flexible player.

FFS, yet another positive, enjoyable thread derailed by people wanting to knock goody. Can they at least stick to the knock Goody thread?
