Re: James Stewart

At 29-30 next year is this what we really need a injury ridden player again. Wouldn't Brynn Teakle be better he is 24 204cm and 102kg played 6 games for Port he has been delisted as well. The club has decided that Dougal Howard is not the guy they want for full back, taking the oppositions tall for...

Re: Will Paddy Dow and Liam Henry make us better?

Henry? Very hopeful, plenty of upside, vg pace. Will suit RTB game style. If he can tidy up disposal could be a good player. Dow? Most overrated player on this forum. Butt average player, ball butcher. Since we’ve recruited him he’s now a lightning quick clearance beast with elite hands that Carlton...

Re: Under the pump....Ben King

I doubt the club rates Max King on tackles per game as long as he is competing fearlessly in the air and bring the ball to ground if he doesn’t catch it.

I don’t think RTB would be happy if his key forward is outmarked and didn’t apply pressure on the way out.

Re: Campbell extended for one year

Definitely a prudent move to give another year to Tom Campbell, he's dedicated to the club and as someone else pointed out, he is a cheap ruck coach. All will be revealed whether or not Max Heath is AFL standard round about February next year when the squad is full steam into pre-season training an...

Re: Tom Highmore delisted

Highmore is probably cover for Wilkie, and with Wilkie playing what 100 odd in a row he has not had much opportunity. Not big enough or good enough one on one as a key defender, he reads it very well and has great hands but is behind Wilkie & Battle in the hybrid intercept style role. Average di...

Re: Campbell extended for one year

Best clubman is an award that would be viewed very highly internally. Obviously Tom is selfless and assisting the development of Heath whilst providing solid back up if needed. There are different ways to stay on a list and purely on football ability, Tom probably wouldn’t retain a place. I really a...

Re: Geary leadership gone to the dogs.

I'm always confused as to how Geary being courageous, translated into good leadership. I'm not sure Geary was much good at all. Even hos courageous behaviour cost him dearly on the injury toll in the end. Nothing against Jarryn, but I think he is just another player we completely overrated. Persona...

Depends on what your definition of what a great leader is? A good player?

Good appointment.

Hard as a cats head, solid citizen, good leader and got everything out of himself as a player.

Courage on the footy field comes in many forms, however the fundamentals of the game demand that you sometimes need to focus on the ball at the expense of your own health.
