PSD (and now ND) players - Club listings and potential signings

Re: PSD (and now ND) players - Club listings and potential signings

So that should mean

2 live picks in the national draft

2 picks in the rookie draft

That is not a lot of activity in a strong draft.

The interesting thing for me now is whether we go into the PSD which would obviously mean 1 more player gets delisted.

For arguments sake would anyone here delist O'Shea, knowing he could be redrafted with one of our first 2 picks in the rookie draft, and then pick up Leigh Brown in the PSD?

Agree with all that and I'm not against adding an experienced player if another spot could be opened up. Picks 31 and 32 must be used on youngsters but if something else happened and we could look at a more mature type then I would consider it. O'Shea to the rookie list has merit but the club doesn't appear to have that in their mind.

Lets not be fooled in thinking we have enough depth in the key position department. Look what happened when Williams got injured last season.
Whilst Brown is not the long term answer, he could fill a void at chb with occasional stints at chf. He can take a mark and he is still only 26yo.
Could he offer us more than a Wight as a kpp by round 1 next season? I think he could. Is he a better chance of at least breaking even against a tall/strong opponent over a Wight? Yes.

This would then free up a Morris to play on someone smaller. Excluding Lake, our kpp's are still developing.

Whilst we would all love to have quality kpp's accross every line, we unfortunately have a number of underdeveloped kpp's. There needs to be a some more exprience in the kpp stocks and Brown has 181 games of it.
I would entertain the thought of picking him up in the PSD.
Im ready for all the responses from you guys telling me why we should NOT pick him up. I just think some of our supporters either want quality kpp's or young kpp's, not a plug and play kpp. Thoughts?

The Cooney 3 brownlows post gets 10 replies and I get nuffin, zilch! I guess that tells me there is no interest whatsoever in Leigh Brown.

First I thought I spelt it incorrectly then I realised you obviously think he is past it.

That's more like it.

Would offer us more than a Wight/Everitt in a one on one physical contest. Look I do not have a strong argument for Brown, perhaps it just shows how underdeveloped we are in the kpp department when I am looking at Brown.

Agreed ... but Brown is not the answer

Re: PSD (and now ND) players - Club listings and potential signings

Probably right, we do need a "plug and play" kpp and other than Carroll there is not much out there.
If Williams gets injured again (touch wood) we will have to rely on Morris/Everitt/Hargreave to play out of their weight division AGAIN or take a punt and play one of the youngsters and hope they can fill a void.

Just for those interested that may not have noticed, but there is a video of Chris Ogle up on the AFL site.

He appears to be very clean at ground level, but not so good in the air, with none of the highlights featuring him taking a mark over his head.

Dylan Addison mark II.

I reckon his dad should be asking his mum a few questions. I've never seen a kid so unlike his father in all my life.

Re: PSD (and now ND) players - Club listings and potential signings

As seen from our results this year, we need to look at adding some larger physical bodies to team.

Its all good and well saying that they have great skills but are lean. Not everyone can add the muscle that is needed to compete when it comes to the finals.

Prioritoes:
1.Key forward
2.Small forward to replace aker/johnno
3.Crash and bash on baller to create pathways and clearances for our elite line breaking midfield.
4. Ruckman (cordy)

Defence is in good shape, injury free year for williams/j grant should provide opporunties.

Needs to work on his disposal, kicks on the up to much the ball floats. Has a bit of Griffen in him the way he shuffles back after taking a mark.
