Imagine how good he could be if he could hit a target[emoji6]
But seriously if he can fix up his terrible kicking he has the ability to go down as a great by the end of his career. Could easily win multiple Brownlows and other awards

From what I've seen, I think Geelong have to many similar players. Both in size and position.
Guthrie, Smedts, Lang, S.Selwood, Cowan, Murdoch,Caddy, Bews, Horlin Smith,Menegola,Duncan, Thurlow and I'm sure many more.
Menegola has improved, but out of the rest of them, who could you say has improved, or will be able to go to that next level and be that really good 3rd or 4th midfielder you desperately need. A few of these guys have been on your list for some time, are they capable?

Guthrie has had a solid year, Smedts, Selwood and Thurlow have been injured nearly all year. Cowan is for some reason a massive whipping boy...he's played less than 20 games ditto Lang. Duncan has been disappointing this year but he hasn't been the same player after being injured last season and getting mummified once he got fit. I think Caddy probably isn't the mid we have been trying to turn him into. I believe he should play that Chappy role in the forward line with the occasional pinch hit in the middle.
I think the only two you got right was Murdoch and GHS. I'm not sure how an opposition fan could really comment on GHS though as he rarely gets a game. Victorian Cats that get out to the Ressies say the knock is pace and decision making which makes him a bit like Toumpas so perhaps we can ship him off to Port ha ha. Murdoch has been given the opportunity and has been unable to find consistency.
The biggest problem the Cats have is we've been trying to rebuild after a successful period trying to replace the champions and never wases with shithouse draft picks. We've tried to use the "targeted recruiting model" with limited success excluding Dangerfield, Rivers and Henderson. A lot of the guys you mentioned have hardly played a game this year. Despite our issues we did go 9-3 against top eight sides and we did finish second. It's a hard team to break into and it's to improve when you're injured or in the Ressies.
Regards,
REB
