Rd 7 : Pre Game Thread - Blues v Pies

[LP]

I got laughed at, kinda lol, for stating we should go after Stef Martin when he was at Melbourne as his athleticism and strength would be handy as a good old fashioned follower. he was dumped by Melbourne and was seen as a nothing footballer at AFL level. In no-mans land. Jones is very very similar IMHO.

I'd agree with that Stef Martin stuff.

Late last season we had Jones, Warnock, Kreuzer, Casboult, Rowe and Watson back when it was floated. So I understand also why people would raise a question.

Ironically, of the blokes we got rid of Watson was probably the best option as a 2nd/Relief ruckmen, despite his pitfalls he was pretty handy in the ruck and could mark almost as well as Casboult. Watson was a real waste for any number of reasons, and he could kick!

We lost Watson but kept Wood, short term thinking in case Kreuzer was a bust perhaps!
