2018 Rd 3: Pre game Palaver; Carlton vs. Collingwood

[Thryleon]

I think more Tom McDonald than Tom Lynch, we would have to sell the farm for Lynch - ask yourself; what do we actually need? We think McKay will make it but needs time, then we really need some support and a filler who can be effective elsewhere longer term. Patton from GWS gets mentioned alot, I think he can only really play one position, similarly Boyd from the Dogs. There are Tom McDonald types out there on club lists or in the state leagues that could be effective.

What is the measure of effective? Able to contribute 1 - 2 goals per game? Able to pinch hit in the ruck? Perhaps able to swing back in defence?

Its why we are in no hurry to ditch Levi.

He is bad enough for them to go past him the second they are truly 4 quarter competitive prospects at AFL level, but strong enough to draw a couple of players to him and help give the kids some room in our forwardline.

The shame in it, is that no one has gone past him yet.  Even Weitering who is dubbed as able to play forward and back, is thus far proving not to be as effective a forward as Levi.
