Re: The Blair Hartley Project
I can imagine the bombers having a big crack at Dangerfield . Worst midfield in the top 8 by a long way and desperately need quality .tigs2010 said:

4 years ago and Lions have already delisted / rookied him previously. This is the second time they have cut him.

Re: The Blair Hartley Project
Would think there would have to be a reason why a guy is cut twice.
Would rather McCauley to be honest.
What about from the draft 19yo Mitch Brewer from Southport. 204cm/119kg. Ex-Rugby. Just loves to smash in hard.

Re: The Blair Hartley Project
Cut him after two years because of injury. Rookied him to give him a second chance. Still can't get on the field. At least one knee reco I think, plus multiple other injuries. His mobility was the appeal originally. If he has lost his bounce and run and quickness he become a mediocre prospect at best.

Re: The Blair Hartley Project
He is pretty slow & soft. His inside ability was really only as a junior which was way to long ago to be relevant.
Leysy thinks we are a better chance grabbing a state league footballer that has gone past him, that would also have more scope to improve once in the system.

Re: The Blair Hartley Project
He averages 5.4 marks per game and less than one contested mark per game in 67 games. In his best season he averaged 6.2 marks per game and 1.1 contested. Not really the stats of a great mark. And considering he's got all the intensity of a Relton Roberts workout I reckon he's a big pass.
Would rather see Post persisted with or Astbury thrown in there than go after a half-hearted injury prone 23 yr old with an unsubstantiated reputation.

Re: The Blair Hartley Project
Stats, shmats. Watch the bloke squeeze the air out of the pill.
I didn't say go after him, I said if he's offered for the compo pick. I'm not going to argue about it though. Opinions, *smile*holes... and it's not like we have a say in it.

Re: The Blair Hartley Project
I was just questioning the great part. Yeh he takes a nice grab but so does Brett Thornton.
Reckon the compo pick might be paying too much and we have more pressing needs than a KD right now (unless it was Frawley/Davis)

Re: The Blair Hartley Project
Agree with the last part. Astbury looked good until he put on too much size too quick. Him, Rance and Grimes with Post, Thursfield, McGuane, Gourdis as back-up. We could draft another but its not a pressing need yet. We need a ruck and then to hit the draft and do it well.

Re: The Blair Hartley Project
We need more midfielders and lots of them. Dont think we have enough of them. Need some developing at Coburg, need some more to slot in and join the rotations. More on-ballers definitely required. Quality ones too.
