    Are we giving up on Redpath too early here? I think a few in here thought he'd be the next JB without even seeing him play and now started putting a line through his name.

      Agreed. I would have thought that Redpath would require a minimum of 2 years on the rookie list before a call could be made on him, considering how far back he's coming from.

      Without having actually seen him play it always seemed to me like the early wraps on him were way over the top and similarly the criticism now is a little premature.

        Who said anything about writing Redpath off? I only read a post stating regret that we shouldered arms to Crameri.
        But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

          Sorry it's just a general vibe I get from the posts I read in various threads.

            Im stating a fact about Crameri, totally unrelated to Redpath.

              Which is why I gave the sad face.

                Do you think Redpath has what it takes to succeed? I haven't seen much of him as I haven't been to any Willi games, especially since they haven't been playing at Burbank Oval.

                  Looks a long way off VFL football, let alone AFL

                    Still far to early to tell. He's a project player, a long shot so it's going to take time. I've only seen him a hand full of games as well.

                      Isn't he already 22-23?

                        Can't you learn after that age?

                          21 and will be 22 in December, still young for a developing big bloke.

                            He's big and very quick, but I haven't seen anything football wise to get excited about. He doesn't use his size especially well, generally playing as a lead up forward, and doesn't strike me as an especially smart player. I'd like to him given a try in defence.

                              Here we go again, turning our forwards into backmen.

                                Once he gets his body right and his mind right he,ll be fine , the big fellas nearly always take a little time , his left knee is a concern though
