Re: Following our ex's...................

He's an interceptor in a KPD's body.
You can't be an interceptor if you distribute the ball so conservatively. Carlton fans seem to think that you can only play one of Weitering or Lewie Young anyway.

Of the current players we're "lost" the only one I'm still sad about is Cal Ward, and his compo pick netted us Macrae anyway.
(I did really miss Harbrow too). Given his ongoing connecting to Spotswood and his family still being Westies, I'd welcome him back into the fold.

We also put off trying to re-sign Ward until way too late, it sounds like he was always pretty open to re-upping his contract early on but we just didn't do anything on that front. It's not shocking that he got offered an excellent deal with GWS while we just kinda expected him to stay and didn't do anything.

Funny that you mention about traded players . I was only discussing this last night with a mate and the only one performing is Hunter and even he is getting reported every week and is now out .
Cordy , Schache , the two Young’s. Lipinski has been injured and I still don’t believe Stringer has done anything the average footballer couldn’t have done.
I can’t believe Tom Campbell is still around !

Re: Following our ex's...................

Lewis Young is the archetypal "almost" player. He has some good attributes - can can mark well, spoil strongly and kicks ok. But to me he always looks pretty one dimensional. He always takes the safest option, seldom takes the game on.
I hope he makes it as a player. His time with us didn't do much for his development.

Its an attitude problem , its all in his head and he has no agression and just panicks when there is pressure
He would be such a frustrating player on our list
His carlton's problem now.

Spot on.

Campbell is threatening to top the eker list

Threatening?

I reckon BTC is still around because he's a legitimate fantastic bloke. If he'd been a knob he'd be long gone.

Ditto Stringer. They look great when they're 'on' but you can't rely on them week in, week out.
Stringer would still be getting games for us but on current form, Lewie would be playing for Footscray

100% this. Would be hard to find a better bloke in the system and he's great with the young players too.

Billy Gowers kicked 5 in his first game for Moe on the weekend. Helped them beat Leongatha - first game they have lost since early 2021.

No I play masters footy down at Beaconsfield these days but my old club didn't play in that league either, there are 2 clubs in Warragul.

He left us for more opportunity in the backline

He started off in the backline and played ruck/ forward when Silvagni went off injured. He was ok but did some Lewy Young things - his 2nd efforts let him down. Wasn’t their worst and should keep his spot.

Only happened because of the Silvagni injury leaving De Konning against the Gawn and Grundy tandem.
