Everitt to forward line PLEASE

[LostDoggy]

Ok, so he's not ready just yet to take the reins full-time. But i propose we throw him there for at least a quarter a game all year. He's so perfect for the future of the forward line its disgusting nobody thinks about it.

• He's taller then Fevola, Tarrant, Pavlich, Lucas, Lloyd
• He's a fantastic kick - specially for goal
• He reads the play very well - which is vital for a forward to run in the right direction
• He's young enough to learn all the ropes
• He's dam quick for a player his height, and will be able to get away from defenders.
• He's going to fill out nicely, and will weigh in the 93-99kg mark - Perfect.
• We have only Tiller and Grant as up and coming forwards - Everitt is taller then both of them.
• We already have to many KPP defenders.(well at least in comparison to our forward stocks)
• Our lack of forward KPP's is an embarrassment.

You make some very interesting points there B2B.

Just thinking through what you have said seems to make some sort of sense.

Agreed.

I think there's no doubt that the club will eventually swing Everitt forward in the hope that he can nail down CHF, but I suppose the biggest question of all is when? I would argue '08 would be too early and that he probably needs another year of learning the game, playing off half back & a bit on the wing. '09 would seem sensible to start easing him into such a position, giving him periods of time up forward.

However - giving him a quarter or two at the right time up forward this year wouldn't be silly, either. Along with the list that B2B has compiled, Everitt's also a very good mark so he certainly has all the 'traits' of a quality KPF. The thing that might keep him from playing forward is the fact that he's so versatile, which is why I think he'll play similiar to Chris Grant - where we need him. Most would probably - and understandably - rather him play up forward if he's good enough though, so who knows.

Concur. He's as dynamic as they come and also demonstrates those heady elements of creativity/confidence/elusiveness with the footy that many quality forwards possess. It's innate, and was evident from game one.

He's entirely capable of being used as a pinch hitter at both ends. That said, his early development and overall game might be better served with more time spent on the defensive side of the centre square over the next 12 months.

Regardless, he's gonna well and truly put to bed any lingering pangs of regret still harboured that we took Griffen instead of Franklin a couple of years back.

Seems such along time ago people were calling for Scott Clayton's head when we drafted Everitt & not Sellar.

I'm not sure about that. I wouldn't say i have the best idea but he did miss a few of his shots this year

He kicked a couple of goals on the run, but they were mungrels.

Thanks for your negative contribution once more. Do any of our players do anything right? Just once it would be nice if you said something positive, just once!

Im finding it hard to see how mungrel punts go in for goal. Was he aiming for the points???

Do you think he is a good kick for goal? He is definitely a good field kick

I have been speaking positively about Malcolm Lynch and Cameron Wight. I dont get all excited because i see a pick of Everitt on big footy and think he is the next Carey.
I think my comments are warranted
