Fritta isn’t setting the world on fire. Petrucelle on the other hand....
My point being that we seem to be unnessarily prioritising players from Casey when their is better talent available.
Comes across as lazy recruiting/scouting. Let’s just take whoever is on our backdoor and call it a day.
Smith - Overaged forward who keeps getting injured and isn’t best 22
Keity- Can’t make the team after 3 years, despite coming in as a mature age player who should have an immediate impact.
Wagner - Good VFL player
Lockhart - Too early to say
Fritta - Had one decent year and now wouldn’t make 22 of any other team.
Thats 0 for 5 at the moment with Casey players.
1/8 of the list is from Casey
How much of the list is from WA, NT and Tasmania combined?
Couldn’t get much worse then what we got now. Has his running improved or does he still run all stumpily?
We should add more players to our long term injury list like Guy Walker, Vandenberg and Steven May to make more space.
Bring in Freemen, Toumpas, BenKen and a tall forward or defender.
That’s what happens when AFL removes coaches capacity to employ different tactics like put players behind the ball ect. If a team is on top they just stay on top the whole game now really. 6,6,6 is proving quite the snoozefest.
Curnow has 61 career goals playing in a bottom of the ladder team. Weiderman has 21 playing for a team that made prelims.
Weed hasn’t even achieved what Curnow already had achieved 2 years ago.
Drafted straight after 650K Weiderman. Love it how people use Weidermans age as an excuse when you have the likes of Curnow and McKay tearing it up at the same age.
Would pay 2020 first rounder for Patton (Likely pick 8-14). Or our 2019 first rounder (Pick 1-2) for Patton and Whitfield.
Unfortunatly I feel our recruiters will be more occupied assessing what Casey players to draft instead.
2020 First rounder + 2019 second rounder.
Take 2019 first rounder to draft, Steve Coniglio as FA.
They bring in Patton, Coniglio and 2019 first rounder.
Why avoid surgery? Just give him surgery, get him right proper and prepare for 2020 opposed to trying to keep him on the park throughout a wasted season
Was trying to be generous but in hindsight a mature age player who is on our list for his 3rd year yet to play a senior game isn’t a good sign. Isn’t the point of drafting mature age players for them to come in and have an immediate impact?
