Left of the Dial - "Fringe" player to KEY Player

[Sedat]

Caleb Poutler is mine, though I think my opinion of him is higher than most.

I think because he's a recycled player we forget how young he is, but I was really impressed with the way he stepped in last year and made some strong contributions as a 20-year old.

He's disciplined in how he holds space on the outside, he has good hands in close and accumulates the footy, and I was really impressed with his attack on the ball and his courage (that was something called into question by my Collingwood supporting mates).

I think there's good scope for improvement in his game and there's clear opportunity on the wings. In my opinion he's a better player than Baker and would be looking to give him first crack.

He has a huge left peg on him as well, which could be a weapon in clearing the defensive line that the oppo has set up in D50.

Great call on Poulter. What I love about Poulter is his first instinct is to move the ball forward which is something we lack overall.

Unsure if the OP will allow Nick Coffield but he has a chance to firm up our back half and become that interceptor we have lacked since Wood retired. He has a bit more size than Richards, JJ and Dale so that will free them both up a bit more to become more offensive again.

Yeah, I'm bullish on Poults. He's still very young and he looked good in his first year with the Magpies before falling off, he's not the quickest but he has a lot of elements that a good outside player needs.

And he is a double handed bouncer, automatic selection.

He's just like me as a kid.
