Not sure what happened afterwards, in the second year.
Some interesting stats , in 2002 kicked 30 goals and played 22 games for us !

He did struggle in games where Plough flooded extra players in the back line leaving our 4 forwards competing against 6 defenders but I thought he was a decent player for us.

Lobb wants good coin. And the whole point of getting in this type of player would be that they'd need to play long minutes as a forward, with English in the ruck, or play in the VFL. Sweet can't play this role effectively (at least we don't think he can). If we're more ruck backup focused cause we really don't want to play Sweet if English gets injured go Cox then. Would cost nothing. Casboult / Cox / Roughhead would essentially cost a list spot.
It's not ideal but neither is meeting Rory's likely outrageous demands for what you get. Did everyone see Casboult man handle Lobb in the ruck contest that led to Casboult's snap goal in their game last week? Ultimately If we're not developing Darcy as a ruckman now then we really need to draft the best available ruckman later this year so we can put the 'let's look at all the sub-par players over 200cm we can get in' to rest.
You make a solid argument. I just don't like Levi.
If Levi kicks a goal on Saturday I'll not post for a month That's a win for everyone!

So what you're actually saying is that you feel Levi is at least good for one goal a game, which isn't bad.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Am I?
I'm saying he sucks.
Also that I have a terrible sense of humour xD
Talent levels across the league have dropped substantiallyin my opinion there are too many teams.
I'm backing Levi to kick 0.

I’d take Lobb, Levi or Cox… any of them. Zaine needs to retire.

Please don’t do that GG. I’m conflicted. I’ve always had a soft spot for Levi and if he was not set for Qld I’d love to have grabbed him, meanwhile I enjoy reading your posts.

Levi got his chance when King went down with an injury. He was pick 3 in the rookie draft and he is 32 years old. He would have been good for a year to replace Bruce.
Hopefully he won't kick any tomorrow.

100% agree. I’m kinda off the Zaine Train too. I will never forget his 2016 finals efforts, especially that first goal in the GF and the knee of god in the PF. Every year I think he has to prove me wrong. It’s not for want of effort, he just isn’t up to it. Even with the hesitant play of Schache I’d much prefer Josh to be given games ahead of Zaine. One of the Bevo conundrums that we mere mortals do not understand.

Ha you're the one!
I've got a problem with running jokes that aren't funny.
I'm sure Levi is a decent human, I'm just not a fan of his football abilities. He certainly has made the most of what he has though.
I'm more annoyed we didn't grab Chol he's the one I'm more concerned about.

No GG
Don't hang yourself on the Gallows of Levi
You are daring him to score heavily and I would much prefer you to be posting.

The gallows of Levi.
That sounds like a dystopian story set in America's deep south.

Re: List Managment thread (For 2022)
Levi’s having a career year and keeping him goalless would go a long way to winning the game. He isn’t exactly a dynamic player but he creates 2-3 chances a game out of nowhere through his marking, whether for himself of their guys at ground level which apparently includes the world’s biggest small forward Mabior Chol.
I see what you’re doing GG. You won’t post if Levi kicks a goal but you didn’t say anything about him kicking 2 or more.

Damn! Hoist with my own petard!
I did read an article on the afl website explaining how well he's been playing. Good for him.
