Key Position Players

Re: Key Position Players

You are very negative !!! Maybe we lack a KP or 2 but doesn't a midfield of either Wood, Jong, Stringer and Minson or Bonty, Stringer, Jong and Campbell , make you excited for the future

Well the thread is about key position players.

Anyway Wood isn't a midfielder, and if we had a better team I think he'd be on the verge of delisting, he really hasn't progressed. Jong showed some great VFL form in the finals, but he's still too raw to be considered a lock, and certainly too unknown to count him twice! Minson is a battler who's about to turn 30. Stringer looks a forward to me, but again I certainly wouldn't count him as 2 midfielders.

Balderdash BT, you're still it (and you always will be )!

Has anyone considered Zaine might have 2-4 cm of growth still left in him? He wouldn't be the first draftee to give a little bit of growing as a 19-20 y.o. and considering his brother's height, it's not out of the question.

Even with that, he'll never be a KPF in the purest sense. It would just make him capable of being a better third man up and a better second to third defender. Who, if any of Hamling, Fletcher and Talia make it will be very handy.

Re: Key Position Players

I see where you're coming from but Gunston in particular needs closer checking. I see Zaine as the 3rd tall, running flanker, counter attacking player. I wouldn't plan on using him solely as a KPP going into a game. He can relief for a teammate or third man up, no dramas. But if he can get to the fitness I hope for him, with his size and skills, I'd use him without too much pressure on the defence and let opponents try to spend a forward to shut him down. I quite liked his game in Bendigo this year when he was doing this, and had done for a month, and opponents could only drag him back to the square. If the Falcons had more quality defenders I don't think he would have been playing in key posts. I have big hopes for my boy, I think going down a KPP path is not best for him or us short, mid or long term.

Re: Key Position Players

Redders to have a breakout year and shore up the defensive end with his sheer bruteness and out and out CONTROLLED AGGRESSION!

They don't call him "the Widow-Maker" for nothing.
