Trade talk - from August 2024

Yeah that’s true. If anything he sometimes gets a shadow tag but largely is ignored.

You forgot the ineffective million dollar rear spoiler.

1000% we seem enamoured with the notion of ‘chaos ball’ out of defence. Hey if your teammates don’t know what you’re going to do with the ball, the opposition certainly won’t!

We just can’t ■■■■■■■ kick.

11 from 7 b and 19 tackles

12 goals, 11 tackles from 7 games (including 2 sub effected)

so he looks a like a goal a game small forward that has a bit of toe. importantly though he actually does appear to attack the goals as a first option. there’s some pretty good moments here

at the very least he looks an upgrade as pure small forward on the ones presently at our disposal

only really guelfi could challange him for scoreboard impact but guelfi isn’t really a pure small forward imo

oh well, lid off then.

Lav - nope
Kelly - nope
McKay - iffy but can kick better than he can handball
Martin - shouldn’t be near the backline as bites off way too much
McGrath - panic bombs it

Ridley - tick
Reid - if he ever gets on the field - tick
Redman - needs to find his confidence but he’s a pass

That’s not a good rate of acceptable level kickers from our D line.

Houston is exactly who we need. Will just cost too much unfortunately.

We will fix that
The Essendon medicos will get rid of the repeat soft tissue injuries and he will just have 1 long term soft tissue injury instead

I literally see no reason to retain him

now that’s a sentiment I can agree with

All these other teams repurpose mids as half backs.
Surely we have one of our excess floating around.

I kind of want to rob the forward line of Langford and put him behind the ball.

Im keen to see the next iteration of stringer as a half back. That will be hilarious.

Hahaha
I don’t know if he has the cardio to be thirsty enough to rack it up.

He can’t kick.

We need distributors who can kick.

We should try Nic Martin at half back.

Alwyn Davey Jnr at half back

Too timid.

Caldwell?

Which then opens up a mid season draft pick it’s a genius recruitment move
