I chose Casserley because I thought he was a bit stiff getting delisted in the first place and he showed a fair bit when he went back to WA.  Given the resurgence of interest and success in drafting more mature bodied players I would have liked to give him a second crack at it.  Unfortunately though, that ain't gunna be, not for a year or 2 at least.

How about a fit Mark Merenda.

Could play adequately in the forward line and in the midfield.

agree he was stiff getting delisted injuries cruelled him big time.

not sure about us giving him another go though. while he played okay at swans he never really tore it up.
an example of what i mean take kyle horsley at subi. won best and fairests and also did real well in the sandover. good sized body great consistent performances at the wafl and all the right attributes and hunger to give afl a real crack. hes exactly the type we should target. all he would have cost was a very late nd or psd pick and we have an automatic upgrade on the likes of white nahas jackson webberley etc.

i can think of about 5 players this yr from minor leagues who i would take a punt on with late nd psd or rookie picks all around the 22 24 age mark. i reckon that number will grow before the yrs out.

Chris Hyde was stiff I thought.

Hyde was still a dead eye dick from inside 50 even after the horrific Neitz collision. It was his awareness that he lost, which made him a sitting duck, and one of the sadder stories of the modern era of the club imo.

Greg Tivendale played the best footy of his career in his last couple of games, once he announced his retirement the shackles were off and we all saw what a player he could've and should've been, I would have had him for another year after that!

Matthew Manfield with Stevie Morris hart
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.
