We have made some genuine progress in the last few years with Blair Hartley improving our depth and filling holes in our side. Having a monster backman to fee up Rance and Grimes is another positive move. Knights giving us another X-factor and adding another genuine cog to our midfield and forwardline just continues to strengthen our list.

I'm very excited about the way we are systematically improving our squad through informed, tactical and measured strategies. We have not thrown all our cards in to gain a quick fix star but instead are playing it safe and ensuring we cut no corners. If one player fails over we have the depth to cover them by the numbers.

Looking forward to the trade period next  :shh

Welcome Troy.
Good size for FB. Hope he has his kicking boots on  8)
The club have chosen well in the past 2 years, so I'll trust them on this one too. Maybe I just caught him at the wrong time this year but he did make some bad kicks this year  :P

100kg makes him our biggest defender. Griffiths is the same weight but 5cm taller

Our biggest bodied defender by far. Griffiths is still filling out and hasn't the core strength to out muscle the big bodied forwards. Seems a good kick from hos highlights package  :) At the very least we have gained a good to average defender to add depth and experience to our backline and increase competition for spots. At the best he could be the FB rock we need to stop players like Hawkins, Tippett etc while freeing up the other defenders to link up and run out of defence.

Blair Hartley would have used the Moneyball statistics to calculate his worth to the team using Dimma/the formula!  :thumbsup

He is rated a very good intercept mark in the 2012 AFL Prospectus, which is something we really lack. It is not a strength of Alex Rance.
