AFL Rd 17 2023 Pre Game Prognostications Carlton vs Fremantle

[WASurfer]

Ben McKay EB? I agree....for a bloke that's played about 70 odd games across about 7 and a half years, talks of $700K+ is a lot of coin.

Still lots of talk over here about Barass but if you believe what's being written, Sydney are at the front of the queue. But no chance they'll be able to get him and TDK. Barass would be a first round pick for sure and TDK won't be cheap either.

In: T.De Koning, M.Cottrell, L.Cowan
Out: Nil

R16 sub: George Hewett

Young played his best footy when weitering wasn't there.

Perhaps the issue is to do with responsibilities.

Jones was more versatile than Young, which allowed Weitering to swap with him more readily and both were decent interceptors.

With Young, Weitering was more frequently anchored at FB and became a less attacking defender.

Surfie...not sold on Ben McKay, reckon he might end up at Essendon.
For the right money I'd look at him but I can see other clubs offering more.
Swans have done the work on Barass and I'd expect him to be a Swan next season.

If Fisher and Gov leave there is enough capital to get Big Ben to the club.

McGovern wants to stay and there is zero interest in him from other clubs.
B.McKay isn't worth big dollars imho,his form at Nth has been ordinary apart from a game or two of late.

MacG has to give something to get something IMO.  I want a lot of things too, my employer doesn't pay me to do 5/8ths of F all.

I think Ben could become a great defender but he is always injured. We can't afford that risk with Marchbank, McGovern, Williams, Cunningham and Martin.

According to Mitch Cleary, Tom de Koning trained lightly and left the track early.  Looks like it will be the Lewis and Jack show.

why we want Ben McKay for another tall SLOW defender , we need to find quick closing defender with size
