Libba Out - Who do we elevate?

Re: Libba Out - Who do we elevate?

On the WB website, Roarke Smith is listed as 181cm and 74kg which would be way too slight to be an elevation candidate. But when I watched them train he looked a lot bigger than that. I would have had him more like 183cm and 80kg. I was impressed with him although he was focusing purely on defensive tactics.

So probably Goodes would be the most likely for an inside midfielder role. Bevo should play him in the Ballarat match as a starting inside mid to see where he is at. His VFL form last year as the key inside mid was excellent - looked much better than when he was coming off HBF.

Whoever puts the height/weight info on the website can do mine please!

Jack Redpath at 99kg?

I've been in a pretty good paddock this off-season and need all the help I can get

Brereton said on the coverage- If he's 99kg I'd like to see what he weighs when he puts the other foot on the scale

Re: Libba Out - Who do we elevate?

Its not an elevation as such but this may create an opportunity for someone like Josh Prudden, if he can get a run at it. When he plays he is very good around the clearances, not Libba good (No one is). But good nevertheless.

This is sort of thing we should be looking at. Internally rather than from the rookie list which is razor thin for elite AFL clearance machines anyway.

Prudden may be able to fill some of the void. he's just finished his third AfL preseason so he should at least be fit and strong enough. Stevens couod step up and do some work at centre clearances. It will remove strength from other parts of the ground

Was my first look at the unicorn-esque Prudden, only real thing I noticed was the size of the lad. He must be close to Jobe Watson dimensions

Re: Libba Out - Who do we elevate?

Koby has some terrific attributes, but clean hands isn't one of them. Not sure he is going to be the answer at stoppages.

Club lists him as 80kg and 182cm...........seems legit

Good point. I'd much rather the ball be in his hands deep in the forward line with his back to goal than tearing through the contests looking to give iit off..

It's a shame we dropped Greenwwod off the list. A position just opened up for him.

Would have him instead of Goodes on the rookie list.

I agree entirely .
Just can't see Goodes pushing into the midfield .

Re: Libba Out - Who do we elevate?

The only bright light I can see is the return of Clay Smith, once he recovers from his knee reconstruction.

That is the light. Hopefully he burns very soon..

Please my friends, do not underestimate Caleb Daniels. All seems to be falling into place for him to play fair bit of footy this year.

You maybe onto something here.

Sounds as though his return may be sooner than expected. He could return soon after round 1. Expected to play some NAB games

He's a player we are going to enjoy watching too. Great vision and disposal.
