Stocked up on 167-186cm forwards with 5 picks. We must see Dahl in there.

Re: Dahl must be moving to the midfield.
Not in my opinion.
Dahl is best as a high half forward who can use his pace to present, as well as his pace to turn his opponent around. In midfield he can't use these as strengths, has average decision making/disposal and isn't physically as strong as most other mids.W00F!Comment

Re: Dahl must be moving to the midfield.
I hope not. His strength and most value has been as a goal kicking, small forward. He actually added the lead up marking element to his game this season as well, approaching Matty Robbins' capacity as a small. Would rather he did most of his work in that role.Time and Tide Waits For No ManComment

Re: Dahl must be moving to the midfield.
Agree he's a forward, my guess is they want Hunter to move in the midfield.
McLean I think can move into the midfield in the future as well. Still not sure where that leaves, Daniel, Honeychurch though.Comment

Re: Dahl must be moving to the midfield.
To me, Hunter, Hrovat, Webb and Dale are the midfielders of the group, with most of the others able to take a turn too when required, but perhaps best suited to the forward half at this stage.Have you heard Butters wants to come to the Dogs?Comment

Re: Dahl must be moving to the midfield.
Agree now that Dal stays inside the F50. McLean is a forward, but I reckon Hunter goes into the midfield, and that we have pegged Webb and Hamilton, at least initially, as back flankers, and Daniel seems to be a pure mid. Not sure about Dale, but he is a few seasons off playing seniors you would think.
What is stopping Daniel from getting a game next year? he has already played SANFL hasnt he? He can already run a 16 beep and a very decent 3km time trial. Wouldnt suprise me to see him getting a game ahead of Hrovat, to be honest, and I think the combination of Daniel and Mclean coming in has Honeychurch under real pressure.
This draft improves our mid term depth across the park very nicely.Comment

Re: Dahl must be moving to the midfield.
On the north melbourne website, which is now telling truths about harveys height, he is 167/175. Hes well into his 30s when guys tend to be at their peak for strength. 5 or 6 years ago he would have been lighter - heres a picture of him from 2009 looking lighter than his current pics

If he is 175 now, what is he there? 171/172?
I reckon Daniel is probably only 3 or 4 kgs off his playing weight for a younger player.Comment

Re: Dahl must be moving to the midfield.
Tony Liberatore 163cm 78kg
Caleb Daniel 167cm 68kg
Brent Harvey 167cm 75kg
Jake Neade 170cm 67kg
Ben McGlynn 174cm 75kg
Nathan Hrovat 174cm 77kg
Hayden Ballantyne 174cm 79kg
Shaun Hart 175cm 75kg
Shannon Byrnes 175cm 77kg
Stephen Milne 176cm 83kg
Luke Dahlhaus 177cm 78kg
Cyril Rioli 177cm 80kg
Jason Akermanis 177cm 85kg
From what I could find, Jake Neade is the only other player under 75kg in the AFLIf you kicked five goals and Tom Boyd kicked five goals, Tom Boyd kicked more goals than you.

Re: Dahl must be moving to the midfield.
Dahl will ultimately be a forward option who can help in the middle long term, though I think for the next couple of years he'll have to play midfield until the list settles and we understand whether Wallis and Smith alongside the new draftees can do the job without him being there.TF is this?.........Obviously you're not a golfer.Comment
