I think Maric should go back and play defence for next year, his foot skills would be handy their, doesn't really look a natural forward and competing with too many other guys.

I feel nauseous everytime I see this thread as I'm reminded of what happened.
I wish there was a way to hide it.
Thanks a lot Keys.

Embley was better at getting a hanger taken on him than taking a hanger himselfHow about Andrew Embley?
Very similar height and he could take a hanger. Great goal kicking winger.

I don't see a positional need for him but going from 2 years of country league to being top 3 mid season draft and not a tall in 1/2 a VFL season screams untapped talent .Very very very curious about what position the club actually sees him playing and has drafted him for.
Medium forwards, let alone one's in our terrible team don't really excel at AFL level. He'd be behind so many players in the pecking order if that was the case, so I really doubt it.
If he's the best talent available that's interesting, seems a utility type but I scratch my head thinking we had one of those right at our doorstep in Ruscoe
Very odd choice. Makes the Beagles game a bit more interesting.
It seems we have picked him on potential rather than position
I'm predicting his improvement to be at a sharp upwards trend if he can build a solid afl standard fitness base.
Hopefully they just play him in his natural position to start with and bring him up to the speed of the game so he can play AFL then in the off season put him in defence or with the mids where we have a more pressing need
So I don't have to read the entire thread, did we win the MSD?
Monocle
And the rebuild begins.

I was a little disappointed that he wasn’t a hbf where we clearly have a greater positional need than hff.
Unlikely to get a quality mid in the MSD although Jai Newcombe belies this statement.
Very glad that he is not a kpf where we have 8 or 9 candidates for a possible 2 or 3 positions.
Looking at Jack H he seems a very promising prospect whose game and body shape could translate to wing (where we do have a need) if he is able to build the endurance engine. He already has explosive power and speed.
Overall now happy and look forward to seeing how he goes. He seems very happy to move to WA to the Eagles which is a good start.

Hopefully he can flourish on a wing, as we are screaming out for a good winger.
Personally I'd love to Burgiel to go back to a wing, he was really good there at u18s.

Has he improved since playing that role?
No. Looked worse than hbf previously. Seems to have lost confidence with all his injury and illness setbacks.
Last game showed a bit of improvement. Do you read Kyle Horsley’s WAFL sunnaries?
Looks a fair way off an AFL debut to me. Looked very promising last year on hbf then did his hamstring badly.

I'd suggest number 50 because we haven't had one of them since... Turnbull? I think Hurn wore it in one game?
Jake is also an endurance beast which is an athletic trait.

Why are you racial profiling numbers?
Disappointed Shuey tapped Long on the shoulder because 44 is a great number!

Same reason we kept 9 for star players, I guess, just tradition.
Talking about Racially profiling numbers, does anyone know for a fact that Seven ate Nine or are we just blindly believing the racist stereotype?

Interesting take. Not sure I've understood clearly but it sounds like you are saying the Reids 4th, 5th, 6th and 7rh games of his career were his peak and is once in a lifetime form? I guess for most players it would be, but strap yourself in mate because he is a first year player who will get a lot better- hard as it is to believe.
