Will Neagle play tall?

Post by antcl »

I know Neagle was considered a smallish FF when playing for the TAC, but that he was also bottom-aged. Looking at the website, they have him listed at 189cm, which is 1cm more than Nash/Winderlich/Welsh, and 3cm shorter than Lloyd/Lucas.

I've heard (very briefly), that he hasn't been being played as a KP for Bendigo.

So, people who have seen him play, does he look like he'll play as a KP/3rd tall player, as a tall midfielder, or as a tallish HFF/winger (such as Ryan O'Keefe)? Assuming he makes it of course :lol:

Just wondering, since if what I've heard is right and he can't play KP/3rd tall, it means the only young non-ruck talls on the list are Bradley, Lee & Johns. Not many.
Espescially when you consider we're already missing a CHB, Fletcher is over 30, Hird is close to retirement, and Lloyd & Lucas will be 29 at the start of next season.

Too short for KP.

Thats what I was worried about.

So, we've effectively got 3 tall non-ruck KP players under about 27 years old.

Johns, Lee & Bradley.

If we don't get at least 3 talls this draft, I'm going to be worried.
