*Lost Frampton because we only offered 1 year to a guy that had barely played in years and is extremely unlikely to make the grade.
Crows offering 3 is crazy talk if that's what they did.
1 year for Wylie is just a perfect 1 for 1 with what we were hoping to get from Frampton.

Frampton is who we lost, and his strength was strong hands. How are Wylies hands? Frampton was a big time clunker, and whilst he wasnt really mobile enough for AFL, his hands gave him a shot. That is something we'll miss. I'm hoping Wylie therefore has a similar ability to pluck em.
Your point??
Please no...Under Hinkley that is highly probable, then when we squander multiple forward entries, the coach at the top of his game, will move the Buzz saw forward. After not being able to tally 6 majors in his first stint in front of the big sticks, coke man will drop him and then delist him at the end of the 2020 season.
He competes but doesn't clunk them that often.

Its an easy thing to do...
So Geelong let go of Buzza for Jenkins, who the cows let go for Frampton who we replace with Buzza.
Too simplistic a view?
Either way I reckon it's window dressing, especially given our inability to play and or develop tall forwards.

He tends to double grab the ball, or he tries to mark it with his face.
At least he came out of a good system.
I hope he has never met Ken before.

Howard was a tall defender who left the club because we didn't need a tall defender and he was told he'd have to play as a forward to get a game yet you are saying that Buzza, recruited as a forward, could be the tall defender we need.

"Buzza" reminds me of "Banzai" and "Bullseye," which seems good.
Truth be told, it was either Hinkley or Frampton. Since Hinkley has stayed, there was nothing that could be done, but to let Billy go and bring in a replacement.
Hopefully, Hinkley likes Buzza, and everything is fine. Alternatively, Hinkley may be gone after this season, and everything is fine after that.
Buzza comes in fresh. That's the main difference. We have reset the "tall-forward-depth" clock. We were forced to do it, but it is still a good move.
One's trash can be another's treasure. Let's see...

Hinkley would prefer "bonsai" to "banzai" expect when it comes to his coaching contract.
It's bad enough Koch wanting Hinkley to coach Ports for ten years let e banzai.
I am guilty of rating Billy highly. 5yrs on our list for 3? games is it any wonder he walked.
He's got the raw materials to be a very competent player and if he turns into a bewdie for the fck'en crows I'll spew.
I hope your right......... I really do but the way he's been treated under Hinkley says more about Ken than Billy.
As for Jonas I don't rate him and never have.
Any way as to our future I hope/wish Wylie all the best.

I'm pretty confident his level is Brad Moran tier.
What does that tell you..... anyway good luck to the lad.
if Hinkley planned 9/11 he would have waited for the towers to attack first, then slingshotted defence into an offensive manoeuvre.
Watching the few video's of Buzza I could find he appears to do a fair bit of ruck work as well playing forward. If he plays, I don't think there would be a need for two specialist rucks.
Also, he is solid at 198cm/102kg. He at least has the frame of a modern key position forward, 13kg heavier than Frampton. If he likes the contest and crashing packs our small forwards potentially will have much more opportunities.
