I don’t think our midfield runs as deep as many think it does.
An outside midfielder, a medium forward, a tall defender and an inside midfielder are our needs IMO, but I hope we go with the ‘best available’ (no matter the type) - especially with our first pick. Get the talent in the door.
what do you think of our ruck stocks?
i think we now need to focus on a ruck and another tall defender
I think our three specialist ruckman all need TOG - so recruiting another one might be counterproductive. I agree that we could do with a developing key defender. In fact, I thought we might have been tempted to go for Busslinger last night. Is there any hope that Lewis Hayes might still be available at our 2nd round pick?
Great minds think alike , or is it fools never differ ..............................i also thought we would pick Busslinger . And like you Sue , now that Buss has gone i am hoping Hayes is available ...................having said that i am happy to have the running machine Hollands on board .
I’ve been behind Hayes for most of the season, but there’s always been something in my gut telling me that Van Es is going to be something special.
Maybe it’s just that gun barrel straight mullet, perched atop the extra massive rig… it’s a big, big man with deadly closing speed and the strength & reach that could affect a spoil on Jezza’s statue.
He’s ready for senior footy 12 months ago. Also, until the Cadman show moved to CHF, Van Es was the Rebels primary forward target and pinch hit in the ruck - so he’s a genuine three-zone utility.
Now, by his own admission, he needs to build up his endurance… but he only needs to do the work to turn that around. Extra sessions on the pedals with Kreuzer, easy peasy.
It’s definitely the hair……
