Alright, so I donāt know which player you are referring to, but the post above mentioned Baguley.
I absolutely had Baguley in the cannon at the start of the year. But his forward work has been a revelation. If you think keeping him is in some way not being ruthless enough, then I would argue that your point of view is 100% wrong.
Itās fkn rough since heās going so well but I just really donāt see the point of keeping Baguley. With Joe and Begley back next year there should be no room for him, and the depth should be Houlahan/Green/Laverde (though I see Lav as a mid)
Bags is way ahead of Begley as a forward. Way ahead. He definitely plays next year.
Begley has played 8 games. He can keep developing - in the magoos if he canāt push someone out by performing.
They can both be on the list, and in the same team.
Bags should totes be on the list next year, and considering Begs is coming back from a knee reco he wonāt be a certain starter and Iād prefer he spent some time in the twoās honing his midfield craft.
I think Begley should spend the summer in the midfield group and first half of next year in the VFL as the inside mid. I have no doubt he will break into the AFL midfield by mid season.
