When he emerges it will be interesting to see where he lines up...ie defence or as a mifield tag.....or perhaps in another role that RL who knows him well may have in mind for.congorozides wrote:well he might be a better option than raph in defence.

192cm...but is only 88 kg.congorozides wrote:how tall is he?
He reportedly has the tank to play midfield...and so in theory can play a huge varity of roles....
Midfield, tagger, HBF, BP....
Maybe even FB????

Now Glass is a gun FB...not saying that Dempster would be...just that he could be an option...and particularly if Max goes down.

But he doesnt play tall. Stats can be read anyway you like but watching games tell you the type of role people play.saintsRrising wrote:192cm...but is only 88 kg.congorozides wrote:how tall is he?

Dempster's up against it to get a game. He was on the fringes to start with, and missing preseason has meant that he hasn't been able to impress anybody. Going on his Sydney form he's well behind a number of players we've tried in the backline, which is where he played in the intraclub. I don't think he wins enough ball to justify using him in the midfield, even as a tagger.
In 54 senior games for Sydney, he had 15 or more disposals just once. I'd rather see the likes of Birss, Blake, Raph Clarke, Fiora and Leigh Fisher than Dempster.

I ceratainly agree.....he is basically a bonus player thrown in as part of the deal to get Schneider.vacuous space wrote:Dempster's up against it to get a game. He was on the fringes to start with, and missing preseason has meant that he hasn't been able to impress anybody. .
However RL would not have taken him without something in mind....
Was it just added depth after a horrific injury run in 2007....or something else?
