VFL Finals Week 1 Sunday 28th August Collingwood v Carlton at Victoria park 1PM

[shawny]

Cahill played 6 games for the Bombers over the 2020-21 seasons so you’d expect him to be a tad better than blokes who haven’t had that experience and development opportunity.

He is a good mark for his size, makes good decisions, tackles hard, and uses the ball well.

I suspect that he’s hoping for another crack at AFL but I don’t think that he would add much to our list.  His goal kicking might be a little better than Durdin and Owies, but there wouldn’t be much in it.

Thanks DJC - Considering Durdin and Owies made critical errors in the last few games If Cahill is a better user by foot I would still put a lot of thought into it as it can be a a massive upgrade when the heat is on as we have seen. But i get it as EB said you cant have too many of those sorts on your list.

I just always favour good users over almost any other stat and why I would persevere with Setterfield but trade Dow out.  Both have flaws but Setterfield is a decent user by foot (most of the time) while Dow kicking disposal with any level of pressure is still poor and unreliable and once you add in his lack of defensive run (or fitness ?) he should be traded IMO.

He may be able to rack up touches at the VFL level but he deficiencies will mean his chances of making it at AFL level are too low for us to keep persisting with.
