I agree with you msg. People are writing him off too quickly. Limited opportunities at Geelong. Much rather have him on the list than Kent.mad saint guy wrote: ↑Wed 27 Oct 2021 12:28am I'd be happy to give Constable a spot on the list. At worst he's a capable backup inside ball pig in case of injury to Steele or Crouch. At best he builds his tank and ends up becoming a more rounded player who can average 30 disposals a game. At his age and with his frame he still has a lot of upside.
He had incredibly low TOG at Geelong in his few opportunities - this was likely due to a combination of not having the running capacity required to play as a full time mid and the fact that he was fighting for a spot behind Dangerfield, Guthrie, Selwood, Duncan, Menegola, Parfitt, Smith, Higgins, Kelly and Steven.
Constable averaged more disposals in his first season than Josh Kennedy did in his third. There's something there.

Re: Charlie Constable delisted by Geelong
Geelong wouldn't have dumped the Constable if he had potential, i'd say they knew that, because he wasn't much chop they weren't going to be able to hold another club
to ransom, as is their way at trade time, if that club wanted to trade for the Charlie, hence, gonski.

The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?
