2023: SC Planning Thread

[BIGB0Y]

Bruce is going to have some real competition trying to find a spot in the dogs backline I think.

Liam Jones is now back so assume he plays full back, then there is Alex Keath & Ryan Gardner (who finished last season well) as the other tall defenders. Dale/Daniel/Richards(huge finish to last year when moved to half back)/Duryea/Williams as the smalls - so it depends on what structure Bevo wants in his backline, wouldn't surprise me to see him go with 2 talls & 4 smalls to give them extra run/speed coming out of defence, modern game is all about quick ball movement.

Gardner is an absolute spud.

Gardner is an absolute spud.

He has his limitations for sure but Bevo has found a role for him & obviously rates him as he played 22 games last year & had the equal 4th highest TOG in the league last season :-

 

[mpollock]

Gawn does appear destined to forward,but with van rooyen to debut and brown and tom mac tearing it up ,is there a spot there Look out for Sestan to debut early A 102 k rookie who goes by 'plugger' kicked 24 goals in a game and was bog in every game he played except one and he booted 4 in that one. The dees historically have luck in the rookie system and Plugger may be next relying on brute strenghth to kick his goals .At training he has shown he has real pace as well . NDD

Fergus Greene at the hawks is similar. I think he kicked 50 for box hill last year and came 2nd in terms of most goals in the competition. Logical replacement for Gunston. Mature age as had a brief AFL career before.

Thomas off a back flank could be quite lucrative at his price.

 

[Shannon]

Tarryn Thomas used across half-back in match simulation & Will Phillips playing a midfield role/ getting CBAs in match sim is very interesting

 

[froffershanners]

Anyone think Ed Richards finish to the year is sustainable or a flash in the pan?

114, 126, 112, 97, 106 and 113

Daniel, Treloar and Dale all played the last 3 and at least 2 played in the first 3.

 

[KLo30]

Basically Reeves is a lock as the hawks number 1 ruck. Meek will play more forward given Gunston, Callow are gone …

Interesting article, which tends towards your view.

It also has stats on all the ruckman in the league, so has interest outside of the Hawthorn ruck battle.

 

[Manikato1]

He's got competition at either end now, which is great for the Dogs. Not so good for him.

Interesting Dec 23 training report on BF re Bruce. Taken with a pinch of salt given early days

Mids are a bit weak
Ruck will be a dud loop

I see a ton of injury risk in there, mate.

Daniel, Treloar and Dale all played the last 3 and at least 2 played in the first 3.

If he stays in that role, it should be sustainable. He's coming into the sweet spot in terms of age and showed pretty elite skills in that patch. Query what happened in the Elimination final v Freo where he was sub 50 in both formats. Not sure if he got injured or it was just a bad game. Price is pretty awkward so you'd need him to maintain that 100+ average. Annoying that he was given DEF only status

 

[BIGB0Y]

Confirmed his playing as a fwd this year. With his injury history and playing as a full time forward….Staying away.
