Houli
Bach
Chappy
Morris
Hunt

Agreed. Not one of those guys has any up side and yet we delist Dea.
Anyway it's history now but I still hope he sticks it up Dimma's arse.

I'd be guessing Y&BB would be alluding to the fact that Dea isn't a solve for our list gaps down back.

It's rather obvious Dea isn't a key back given his size

Yet he can play tall ...

As opposed to troy.

You could throw a blanket over all of them although I'd say Houli is the best of that lot.
It doesn't make Dea the answer nor does it justify keeping the others.

Dea was a bad de-listing.

Strong physique, great mark, courageous, good foot skills.

Said it before - great pickup by the Bombers. Deserves his chance and is making the most of it. All he needed was a good consistent run of games that blokes like Vickery were gifted.

dont stop at vickery. Grigg, Edwards the lot of them were average in the early days and some still are, yet were given a great run at it.

Can someone tell me how many consecutive games Dea was given at our club.

Not saying he will end up a great find by the bombers but stuff his better than about 6 of them we have playing seniors now

25 games in 6 years with average of 10 touches.
A good de-listing, we just don't get rid of enough of these under performers quickly enough

[DCrane]

Has come on well, we should offer Essendon a 2nd round draft pick for him.

[Penelope]

The idea he could have replaced chaplin is not too far off the mark, if you understand what we recruited chaplin for.
BT is on the money with half (most?) of what chaplin does

Crap post, typical junk about statistics.

Was our VFL B&F for 2015 yet didn't manage a single game at AFL level since mid-2014 despite deserving it. At least the Bombers could see the form he was in and picked him up.

If you care so much about stats he's averaging about 15 touches and 8.5 marks this year. Very serviceable compared to the likes of Taylor Hunt. Harder man too.

How are Astbury and Batchelor going in the stats department?

My memory of the recruitment of Chaplin was to help out Rance with the big gorilla forwards. At least that is what we were told initially.

Yes that is my recollection also

Neither are good enough to play AFL standard over a long period of time. If he was AFL ready why was he picked up so late.
Good luck to him but I'm glad he was delisted last year, I'd hope they go deeper this year.

that was the talk on this forum, but i dont believe the club ever said that.

That wasnt his role at Port either.
