Welcome to the Kennel - Nick Coffield

Re: Nick Coffield nominates Bulldogs

Does having Coffield and Richards allow us to go back to having just two key defenders due to their ability to intercept? One of the biggest issues this year was the disposal of our key backs killing our ball movement.

I still think Busslinger is well off the pace and also could see Dale being moved higher up the ground.

I don't think we should be having firm plans about Coffield getting on the paddock and staying there. His best season pre-ACL was 18 games in 2020.

He's icing, not cake.

*18 games in a 17 game season (18 includes 2 finals for the saints).

Re: Nick Coffield nominates Bulldogs

You're lucky you didn't say Patty Vez. He's apparently putting in the big ones for another crack.

I can't say who my source is but that's what I've heard too. He's in the best nick he's been in for years.

Borderline flying.

Re: Nick Coffield nominates Bulldogs

So if Billings was to nominate us they would want a straight swap for Bont?

On that basis Naughton would be a fair swap for Coffield but only if we throw a draft pick in to even it up.

He's not even icing he's the idea that I might buy a cake mix at the supermarket today.

Re: Nick Coffield nominates Bulldogs

I think they said they expect the Coffield pick will pay for Henry so there's room for interpretation there (Henry worth less than Freo want or Coffield worth more than logic suggests). Doesn't fall far from BT's proposal but sounds like a couple clubs trying to posture up and get an overs price (look forward to this all dragging out to the end of trade period)

Re: Nick Coffield nominates Bulldogs

I would like to think Coffield is over the young body injuries and now shows his talent .. some clubs are great at picking up injury prone players and making them good.
Let it be us for once.

Really like him in his draft year and the games I have seen him play.

Thanks for joining in the discussion. What attributes stood out for when you saw him play?

My impression was that he was good one on one, a good mark with nice skills. Dale Morris dimensions, so a potential tall/small match up. Didn't see enough to judge but have read that he is quite quick and agile. I liked him in his draft year, but that was from reading the draft watchers not seeing him play. (Obviously glad we got Naughton instead!)

Very small sample size, so grain of salt stuff, but would be interested to see how he goes.

He should be able to contribute straight away so a best 22 type player. Hopefully he hasn't lost any pace or mobility and I'm sure we are confident in his recovery.
Getting the deal done might be a challenge. Saints have a shopping list and not a lot of currency at the moment.

What's his kicking like?

Not bad, no real weakness.

Would you give a second for him?

Thanks for that
