Agree, that his current form hasn't been great, but it’s all about opportunity. This will be his 4th year, the only competition he has is Hogan and Himmelberg, Cadman is a 1st year player who may be eased into the season. So he'll potentially be getting the 3rd best defender. If and When Cadman is ready, might see Himmelberg move to defence again? I expect the game style under Kingsley will be too look for your marking forwards. If it doesn't turn out for me, then it's an easy downgrade to a rookie. Happy to give it a go.
Analysis 2023 Preseason Games
- Thread starter wogitalia
- Start date
From 2020 he went at 97 ppg in 13 games where he had >50% cbas (average of 58.5% cbas). Eight of those games were in 2020 however where scoring was out of whack, he went at 107.4 in those games (58.6% cbas). In the other 5 games from 2021 onwards, he went at 80.4 (@ 58.4%). What the true average is, I don't know but 90 is not out of the question but he does need consistent inside minutes.
Cole I think should be a lock in the 22 each week.
In the past he has played on the most dangerous small fwd of the opposition- he is probably our best option to perform a defensive type role however he has been used on a wing occasionally in the preseason so maybe there are looking at expanding his role & adding some versatility.
Certainly a solid option in my opinion, just not sure on how well he will score/ role dependant.

Fergus Greene could be affected by the return of Lewis, not sure how far away he is.

Would really love to see Bytel cement a spot. Got the one year extension so it's now or never for him. His Calder Cannons numbers had ball pig written all over them but he's just never taken the next step at AFL level. He's like the forgotten Jack at St.Kilda.
As much as Ross would love his player type, Windhager and Owens appear to have gone past him on that front.
