I assume that means we are keeping LOB?
Wouldn't be surprised if we kept LOB.
Every team I muck around with shows we need a bonafide wingmen to rely on week in week out.
Sure flexibility is good to see from coach and player, but a settled team is gold imo.
LOB's running capacity and ability to hit long targets when NOT under pressure are valuable tools.
Who else for the wings other than Walsh (I want in the middle) and Ed (who turns 33 next year)?
I dream that Philp, Cuningham could have the engines to play the role, other than that I dream it may be Carrol but he seems more like an inside outside mid.
Cerra? Where does he play if Walsh Cripps is teaming up with Hewett, (a fit and determined) Williams? Wing-midfield mixing it with the running machine Walsh?
We are desperate for a wingman, but come on, we know it’s not going to be O’Brien, just as it’s not going to be Cottrell. They’re both too slow between the ears.
It won’t be Cuningham either. He’s physically capable (when fit) of running the other way, but that’s just not his game. He gets a bit lost trying to pick up the danger… plus, it’s pretty hard to overlook that fitness caveat. He’s a guy that has had hamstring problems in the past & is now using a piece of those same hamstrings to hold his knee together.
It could be Philp, that’s certainly what his draft profile suggests…. IF the #bestinthebusiness works a miracle on his groins.
It could be Carroll, but I don’t think anyone truly knows what the young fella has to offer. He certainly looks like a footballer though. If he turns up to preseason closer to 85kg than 75kg, he’d have to be in the mix.
Personally, I don't think anyone knows.
How many times has Cuningham done his hammy since being selected at pick No 23 in the 2015 draft?
LOB can play wing...why he doesn't...I can agree its between the eras, and I know that a good Psych can get in there. Couldn't give a stuff if they do or don't, because it aint my job, but he has the legs we need...and we need another ingredient to fix that....between the ears.
Can't just give up on young players when they are just 21yo. That's a crazy investment.
here's pick 10, and id you don't make it when you're 21yo you can @#$%&! off.
Man 21yo in Europe playing reserves are kept on at $20M because they develop...I know we have a cap, but if we give up on them like that, we may as well trade our picks
Hence, get Cerra for pick 6
