2023: SC Planning Thread
- Thread starter Gruffles
- Start date
Couple of things
Freo had no first round picks so he knew he had no chance of going there.
He was thrilled he could stay in his home state.
Hewett & him are mates, played a lot of state footy together so very happy they are at the same club.
Yeo was a Freo supporter as a kid, he was quickly converted 😉😜

He'll definitely be happy he gets to stay based in W.A, whether or not he will be happy at the Eagles remains to be seen, that'll probably depend on how they go in the next few years. The Weagles definitely need the midfielders, Freo not so much so he'll probs settle nicely there if he slots into a regular role.
I know you can move players as you explained but I'm talking about using Blicavz Mid/ruck position for coverage in your ruck for a short term injury (1-2 weeks) which can't be done with his M/R position unless you have another M/R to swap him with (rookie). I'm not talking about moving him by trading or moving a ruck forward e.g. Cameron/Jackson in 2023. The bottom line is for Blicavz to be a real consideration for me as a Mid/ruck I'd need to have a rookie Mid/ruck that I can loop him with for ruck coverage.
Based on his form last season I was actually contemplating having him as a 6th defender keeper (as he was Def/Ruck last year and they had a Carlton Def/Ruck rookie as a link option) and use him as my back up ruckman for short term coverage if one of my rudiment missed. 1-2 weeks. I'd consider starting him s a mid in 2023 with the view of him being a keeper (8th mid season end) to provide coverage in my rucks short term but that isn't an option unless they have another Mid/ruck to loop him with?

Not too many to start. Cameron probably best option to start up forward as coverage as he should play number 1 ruck for pies but I think most of us will be hoping maybe Gawn becomes a R/F during the season with his possible new role. I think Gawn will play more behind the ball than up forward and leave Grundy to play 60/40 ruck.
