Fletcher generally takes the third tall and plays off them. We already have a plethora of players suited to doing that and Ferguson is another. We need someone to take Cloke, J Riewoldt, J Brown, Pavlich, Waite, Kennedy etc. We need a Glass, Rutten or McPharlin type, not Fletcher.
How about a Fisher type, will he do?
Hearing him interviewed the other week, I think he wants the role as well.

He shouldn't play unless his form warrants it. Wilkes looks a better bet as at full forward and if we want a second ruckman Stanley and Blake would be ahead of Kosi (IMO). Blake should stay on for depth.
Very versatile player and still playing good football.

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)
Peake, Polo, Crocker and CJ will be delisted. Raph and Ray may also go.
Dunell and Tom Curren (TC) will be elevated.
Winmar will be delisted and then rookied, as he has a contract for next year
Of the rookies Archer will be delisted and probably Shenton as well.
Don't know what to do with Ferguson. He's not ready to be elevated, but I'd like to keep him.
i dont live in vic so cant get to the vfl games but hasnt shenton been good towards the end of the season? seems strange to bring a player over from SA and then delist them after 1 year

He could well become a power defender with another 2-3 years of weights and preseasons under his belt…
Fingers crossed.
Perhaps, but it'd take a big change in game style and as you said, 2-3 years of weights. He's simply not an option to play on big AFL talls next year.
Agree, we need to hang onto him for now though, could be very promising in a couple of years, we know all too well how hard it is to find decent tall players in every position on the ground.
Better and only 19.
Id be gutted if we lost Ferg. And as well all know, decent tall defenders are bloody hard to find.
How far away is Ferguson away from seniors ,a pre season and 6 7 games next year or full sandy season then 2014,but agree we cant go into next season without another kpb

Fisher can play Full Back. But even with Fisher playing FB this year in the second half we were still short one big defender. Plus what happens in weeks he is out?
Gilbert is tall...but does not play like a big defender. ....and is best used in roles that exploit his pace and run.
Flying the World in comfort thanks to FF Points....
crap...do you want to put money on that sunshine?????
CJ stays -according to Watters at his press conference after the Carlton game. Said he sees a role for CJ next year. Can't see him publicly saying that and then delisting him.

No way should we get rid of Dal unles of course it was an offer far to good to refuse. At the very least Dal would be an ideal half back with his ball use.
Gram, Goddard and NDS should never play in the backline, due to they have no defensive side especially one out. All should play centre or forward of centre

gram played in the backline with a defensive role for most of the second half of the season, and did a pretty good job.
