He certainly has good pace and is a reasonable size. I think he would be a good pickup for any team looking for some run off half back, maybe even pushing up onto the wing. I remember he also spent time forward with us, so is obviously pretty versatile.
The downside would be his recreational hobbies.....
I wondered if we’d take him back?
I listened to two things on the way to work this morning:
1. The Road to The Draft podcast where the GWS recruiting manager was interviewed. He was asked about losing Shiel, Scully, and Lobb last year and who was the biggest loss. He unequivocally responded with Lobb because good talls who can take a mark forward, ruck, and help out down the line are so hard to come by.
2. When the podcast finished, I switched to SEN and heard the Essendon CEO Xavier Campbell being interviewed. He was asked directly about Joe Daniher and again couldn't give a definitive answer that he would be at the bombers next year. It was pretty obvious that Joe is, at the very least, contemplating a trade.
Neither of the two things I listened to were related but I left with a smile thinking that Joe D might be in Sydney next year.
I also think Murray would be of value. I was disappointed we lost him in the first place when the Pies nabbed him. You'd think he wouldn't have many options left as a footballer too, so I imagine he'd be willing to come back if the option was available. The bigger question is what our recruiters think.
Have it from a good source that Jones has finally chosen St Kilda.
